A classification of the $IJ^{PC}=00^{++}$ mesons is performed on the basis of the K-matrix analysis of meson spectra in the reactions: (i) GAMS data on $\pi p\to \pi^0\pi^0 n$, $\eta\eta n$, $\eta\eta' n$; (ii) Crystal Barrel data on $p\bar…
We estimate the I=0 scalar meson sigma/f_0(600) parameters from pi-pi and gamma-gamma scattering data below 700 MeV using an improved analytic K-matrix model. A fit of the hadronic data gives a complex pole mass M_sigma= 422-i290 MeV, while…
We discuss the classification of the light scalar mesons with mass below 2 GeV into q qbar nonets and glueballs. The information on production and decay of these states, in particular recent information on f_0(980), f_0(400-1200) (or…
The $f_0$(1500) meson resonance is one of several contenders to have significant mixing with the lightest glueball. This resonance is well established from several previous experiments. Here we present the first photoproduction data for the…
In the framework of the $U(2)_{R}\times U(2)_{L}$ symmetric linear sigma model with (axial)vector mesons generalized by including a dilaton field we study the phenomenology of the scalar-isoscalar resonances below 2 GeV. It turns out that,…
We consider meson-baryon interactions in S-wave with strangeness -1. This is a sector populated by plenty of resonances interacting in several two-body coupled channels. We consider a large set of experimental data, where the recent…
In this work we present a determination of the mass, width and coupling of the resonances that appear in kaon-pion scattering below 1.8 GeV. These are: the much debated scalar $\kappa$-meson, nowdays known as $K_0^*(800)$, the scalar…
A simple $\pi \pi$, $\bar{K}K$, and $\rho \rho$($\omega \omega$) fully coupled channel model is proposed to predict the isoscalar S-wave phase shifts and inelasticities for $\pi \pi$ scattering in the 1.0 to 2.0 GeV region. The S-matrix is…
In our phenomenological analysis of the spectroscopy of light scalar mesons we do not find compelling evidence for the existence of the low mass \kappa(900) or \sigma(600) states nor for f_0(1370) as single resonance. If the f_0(980) and…
We provide global parameterizations of $\pi\pi$ scattering $S0$ and $P$ partial waves up to roughly 2 GeV for phenomenological use. These parameterizations describe the output and uncertainties of previous partial-wave dispersive analyses…
Recent results studying the masses and widths of low-lying baryon resonances in lattice QCD are presented. The $S$-wave $N\pi$ scattering lengths for both total isospins $I = 1/2$ and $I = 3/2$ are inferred from the finite-volume spectrum…
We present a detailed analysis of S-wave Kpi scattering up to 2 GeV, making use of the resonance chiral Lagrangian predictions together with a suitable unitarisation method. Our approach incorporates known theoretical constraints at low and…
Isoscalar dipole transitions are a distinctive fingerprint of cluster structures. A {1^-} resonance at 7.27(10) MeV, located just below the {\alpha}-emission threshold, has been observed in the deuteron inelastic scattering reactions off…
The Nijmegen Unitarized Meson Model and its application to scalar mesons is briefly revisited. It is shown that all scalar states up to 1.5 GeV can be described as triplet-P-zero quark+antiquark states coupled to the OZI-allowed open and…
On the basis of a simultaneous description of the isoscalar s-wave of $\pi\pi$ scattering (from the threshold up to 1.9 GeV) and of $\pi\pi\to K\bar{K}$ process (from the threshold to $\sim$ 1.4 GeV) in the model-independent approach, it is…
We establish the existence of the long-debated $f_0(1370)$ resonance in the dispersive analyses of meson-meson scattering data. For this, we present a novel approach using forward dispersion relations, valid for generic inelastic…
In the approach, based on analyticity and unitarity and assuming an influence of coupled channels, experimental data on the isovector P-wave of pion-pion scattering have been analyzed to study rho-like mesons below 1.9 GeV.
A S-wave \pi\pi resonance below 1 GeV/c^2, sigma has been observed in analyses of the phase shift data of \pi\pi scatterings. It is important to observe it in production processes. A huge events of \pi^0\pi^0 below 1 GeV/c^2 is seen in the…
From a re-analysis of pi+ pi- -> pi+ pi- and pi+ pi- -> K K data, we found for pi-pi S-wave interaction below 2 GeV, sigma(400), f0(980), f0(1500) and f0(1780) clearly show up. f0(1370) can be included with a very small branching ratio to…
