Scalar mesons are a key expression of the strong coupling regime of QCD. How those with $I_3=0$ couple to two photons supplies important information about which is transiently ${\bar q}q$ or ${\bar {qq}} qq$ or multi-meson molecule or…
The cross section for the elastic photoproduction of \r0 mesons ($\gamma p \to \rho^0 p$) has been measured with the H1 detector at HERA for two average photon-proton centre-of-mass energies of 55 and 187 GeV. TheFcenterline lower energy…
Pseudoscalar-meson photoproduction is characterized by four complex reaction amplitudes. A complete set is a minimum theoretical set of observables that allow to determine these amplitudes unambiguously. It is studied whether complete sets…
The potentialities of the production of the scalar $K\bar K$ molecules in the $\phi$ radiative decays are considered beyond the narrow resonance width approximation. It is shown that $BR(\phi\rightarrow\gamma…
We develop a formalism for studying vector meson ($V$) photo-production at the proton ($p$) with polarized photons, $\vec\gamma p \to V p $, through an analysis of the decay distribution in the channel $V\to\pi^0\gamma$. We show that this…
A formalism is developed for the partial wave analysis of data on meson photoproduction off deuterons and applied to photoproduction of $\eta$ and $\pi^0$ mesons. Different interpretations of a dip-bump structure of the $\eta$…
The study of baryon resonances via meson photoproduction reactions on the free proton and on nucleons in the nuclear medium is discussed. Special emphasis is laid on the production of neutral mesons which due to the suppression of…
The complementarity between Chiral Perturbation Theory and the Linear Sigma Model is exploited to study scalar meson exchange in V->P0P0gamma decays. The recently reported experimental data on phi->pi0pi0gamma, phi->pi0etagamma and…
We investigate the reaction mechanism of the $\phi$-meson photoproduction off the proton target, i.e., $\gamma p\to\phi p$, up to $\sqrt{s}=2.8$ GeV. For this purpose, we employ an effective Lagrangian approach in the tree-level Born…
We construct the amplitudes of $\pi\eta$ photoproduction taking into account the effects of the $\pi\eta$ - $K\bar K$ interchannel coupling. The idea of our model is close to the molecular description of scalar resonances with exception…
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 study the radiative $\rho^0\to \pi^+\pi^-\gamma$ and $\rho^0\to \pi^0\pi^0\gamma$ decays and we calculate their branching ratios using a phenomenological approach by adding to the amplitude calculated within the framework of chiral…
The interactions between the f_0(980) and a_0(980) scalar resonances and the lightest pseudoscalar mesons are studied. We first obtain the interacting kernels, without including any ad hoc free parameter, because the lightest scalar…
We summarize some features of the vector meson dominance model which was recently proposed for studying radiative decays involving the scalar mesons. Using the experimental values of $\Gamma(a_0 \to \gamma\gamma)$, $\Gamma(f_0 \to…
Isobar models for the electromagnetic production of K+ and K0 are discussed with emphasis on the K0 photoproduction off neutron. Predictions of the models for the K0 photoproduction on deuteron are compared with the recent data and some…
Using vector meson dominance (VMD), tensor glueball photoproduction cross sections, asymmetries and widths are calculated. The predicted hadronic VV' decays are comparable for different vector meson (V = rho, omega and phi) channels with…
By the application of a linear mass spectrum to a composite system of both the pseudoscalar and scalar meson nonets, we find three mass relations for the masses of the scalar states which suggest the $q\bar{q}$ assignment for the scalar…
We propose that the scalar $\kappa(800)$ meson may play an important role in $K^*$ photoproduction. In the reactions of $\gamma p \to K^{*+} \Lambda$ and $\gamma p \to K^{*0} \Sigma^+$, we consider the production mechanisms including…
We make predictions for ratios of branching fractions of $\bar B^0$ decays into $D^0$ and the scalar mesons $f_0(500)$, $f_0(980)$, $a_0(980)$, plus $\bar B^0_s$ decay into $D^0$ and $\kappa(800)$. We also compare the $\pi^+ \pi^-$…
