We evaluate theoretically the radiative decay widths into $\gamma\Lambda$ and $\gamma\Sigma^0$ of the two poles of the $\Lambda(1405)$ found in chiral unitary theories and we find quite different results for each of the two poles. We show…
The scalar mesons f0(1370), f0(1500) and f0(1710) are of interest as there is as yet no consensus of their status, or indeed of the existence of the f0(1370). Radiative decays to rho and omega have been shown to provide effective probes of…
We consider the radiative transition $\phi \to f_0 \gamma$, which is a sensitive probe of the nature of the $f_0(980)$ particle. Using the QCD sum-rule technique, we estimate the branching ratio of such decay mode to be: ${\cal B}(\phi \to…

Based on gauge invariance, we show that the new threshold phenomenon is discovered in the \phi radiative decays \phi\to\gamma a0\to\gamma\pi0\eta and \phi\to\gamma f0\to\gamma\pi0\pi0. This enables to conclude that production of the…
We work out the Linear Sigma Model (LSM) predictions for the 2 gamma decay rates of the a_0(980),f_0(980) mesons under the assumption that they are respectively the I=1 and I=0 members of the bar q q scalar nonet. Agreement with…
We calculate partial widths of the gamma-gamma decay of the tensor q\bar q states a_2(1320), f_2(1270), f_2(1525), their radial excitations a_2(1660), f_2(1640), f_2(1800) as well as ^3F_2 q\bar q states. Calculations are performed in the…
We explore features of the scalar structure $X_0(2900)$, which is one of the two resonances discovered recently by LHCb in the $D^{-}K^{+}$ invariant mass distribution in the decay $B^{+} \to D^{+}D^{-}K^{+}$. We treat $ X_0(2900)$ as a…
The nonleptonic weak decays of charmed mesons into a scalar meson and a pseudoscalar meson are studied. The scalar mesons under consideration are $\sigma$ [or $f_0(600)$], $\kappa$, $f_0(980)$, $a_0(980)$ and $K^*_0(1430)$. A consistent…
We study different types of radiative decays involving f0(980) and a0(980) mesons within a unified ChPT-based approach at one-loop level. Light scalar resonances which are seen in pi pi, pi eta, K K-bar channels of phi(1020) radiative…
The scalar meson $f_{0}(980)$ has long posed a perplexing puzzle within the realm of light hadron physics. Conventionally, its mass and width in normal decay processes have been estimated as $M=990\pm20$~MeV/$c^2$ and $\Gamma=40-100$~MeV,…
Recently the concept of compositeness has been developed so as to distinguish whether interested hadrons are hadronic molecules or not. Here, in terms of compositeness, we investigate $\bar{K} N$ molecular structure of the $\Lambda (1405)$…
We calculate partial widths for the decays a_0(980)\to\gamma\gamma and f_0(980)\to\gamma\gamma under the assumption that a_0(980) and f_0(980) are members of the basic 1^3P_0 q\bar q nonet. The results are in a reasonable agreement with…
The $D^0$ decay into $K^0_s$ and a scalar resonance, $f_0(500)$, $f_0(980)$, $a_0(980)$, is studied obtaining the scalar resonances from final state interaction of a pair of mesons produced in a first step in the $D^0$ decay into $K^0_s$…
We discuss a possible interpretation of the f0(980) meson as a hadronic molecule - a bound state of K and bar K mesons. Using a phenomenological Lagrangian approach we calculate the strong f0(980) to pi pi and electromagnetic f0(980) to…
The potentialities of the production of the $a_0(980)$ and $f_0(980)$ mesons in the $\phi$ radiative decays are considered.
The applicability of the quasi-static approximation for calculating the two-photon annihilation rate of the scalar f_0(980) meson envisaged as a K\bar K molecule is critically re-examined. It is shown that the validity of this approximation…
A phenomenological analysis of the scalar meson f0(980) is performed that relies on the quasi-two body decays D and Ds -> f0(980)P, with P=pi, K. The two-body branching ratios are deduced from experimental data on D or Ds -> pi pi pi, K…

The potentialities of the production of the $a_0$ and $f_0$ mesons in the $\phi$ radiative decays are considered based on a new two-channel analysis of the $\pi\pi$ scattering in a energy region near 1 GeV. We predict $BR(\phi\to\gamma…
