Abstract

In the SU(3) symmetry limit, the ratio RB(D+f0l+ν)+B(D+σl+ν)B(D+a00l+ν)R\equiv\frac{{\cal B}(D^+\to f_0l^+\nu)+ {\cal B}(D^+\to \sigma l^+\nu)}{{\cal B}(D^+\to a_0^0l^+\nu)} is equal to 1 if the scalar mesons are qˉq\bar qq states, while it is 3 if these mesons are tentraquark states. This ratio provides a model-independent way to distinguish the descriptions for light scalar mesons . It also applies to the BSlνˉB^-\to Sl^-\bar\nu and Bˉ0J/ψ(ηc)S\bar B^0\to J/\psi(\eta_c) S decays. The SU(3) symmetry breaking effect is found to be under control, which will not spoil our method. The branching fractions of the D+Sl+νD^+\to S l^+\nu, BSlνˉB^-\to S l^-\bar\nu and Bˉ0J/ψ(ηc)S\bar B^0\to J/\psi(\eta_c) S decays roughly have the order 10410^{-4}, 10510^{-5} and 10610^{-6}, respectively. The B factory experiments and ongoing BEPC-II experiments are able to measure these channels and accordingly to provide the detailed information of the scalar meson inner structure.
