We present recent results on scalar light mesons based on Dalitz plot analyses of charm decays from Fermilab experiment E791. Scalar mesons are found to have large contributions to the decays studied, $D^+\to K^-\pi^+\pi^+$ and $D^+,…
A prediction for the contributions of chiral loops and the L$\sigma$M model to the radiative $\phi\to\pi^0\eta\gamma$ decay mode is presented. The L$\sigma$M is used as an appropriate framework for describing the pole effects of the…
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…
Based on the BESIII measurements on the reaction of $D_s^+\to \pi^+\pi^0\pi^0$, we investigate this process by considering the $S$-wave pseudoscalar-pseudoscalar interaction within the unitary chiral approach, and the contributions from the…
A previous model where the low-lying axial-vector mesons are dynamically generated, implementing unitarity in coupled channels in the vector-pseudoscalar ($VP$) meson interaction, is applied to evaluate the decay widths of the a_1(1260)$…
We perform the first amplitude analysis of $D^+_s \to \pi^+\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$ decays, based on data samples of electron-positron collisions recorded with the BESIII detector at center-of-mass energies between 4.128 and 4.226~GeV,…
The study of processes involving the weak decays of the charm quark offers unique possibilities to test the Standard Model from the up-type sector and to probe different New Physics scenarios. In here we focus on the rare decays…
We have studied the invariant mass distributions of the \pi\pi and K \bar{K} systems for invariant masses up to 1.2 GeV from the J/\Psi \to \phi \pi\pi(K\bar{K}) decays. The approach exploits the connection between these processes and the…
We review here the physics of purely leptonic decays of pi-, K-, D+, Ds+, and B- pseudoscalar mesons. The measured decay rates are related to the product of the relevant weak interaction based CKM matrix element of the constituent quarks…
We consider the two-pion decay of the $\rho$-meson, the $^3S_1q\bar q$-state of the constituent quarks -- the decay being determined by the transition $q\bar q\to \pi\pi$ contains information about confinement interactions. One can specify…
We consider the role of hadronic rescattering of daughter kaons on the observed mass spectra from $\phi$ meson decays in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions. A hadronic cascade code (RQMD v2.4) shows that $\sim$26% of all $\phi$'s…
The extracted value for the $g^{eff}_{\omega \rho\pi}$ effective coupling from experimental data, considering only the $\rho$ meson, resumes not only the $\rho$ meson effect but also all its additional radial excitation modes. By explicitly…
We study the influence of mass splitting between the charged and neutral pions and kaons in the Juelich meson exchange model for $\pi\pi$ and $\pi\eta$ scattering. The calculations are performed in the particle basis, which permits the use…
Partial widths of the radiative decays $\phi(1020)\to\gamma f_0(980)$, $\gamma\eta$, $\gamma\eta'$, $\gamma\pi^0$ and $f_0(980)\to\gamma\gamma$ are calculated assuming all mesons under consideration to be $q\bar q$ states: $\phi(1020)$ is…
The two-photon decay widths of scalar mesons \sigma(600), f_0(980) and a_0(980) are calculated in framework of the local Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. The contributions of the quark loops (Hartree-Fock approximation) and the meson loops (next…
Starting from the Chiral Perturbation Theory Lagrangian, but keeping different masses for the charged and neutral mesons, and using a previously developed non-perturbative unitary scheme that generates the lightest meson-meson resonances,…
We study the radiative decay $\rho^{0}\to\pi^{0}\pi^{0}\gamma$ within the framework of a phenomenological approach in which the contributions of $\sigma$-meson and $\omega$-meson intermediate states and of the pion-loops are considered. We…
We review the physics of purely leptonic decays of $\pi^\pm$, $K^\pm$, $D^{\pm}$, $D_s^\pm$, and $B^\pm$ pseudoscalar mesons. The measured decay rates are related to the product of the relevant weak-interaction-based CKM matrix element of…
We perform a theoretical study of the $D_s^{+}\to \pi^{+}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}\eta$ decay. We look first at the basic $D_s^{+}$ decay at the quark level from external and internal emission. Then hadronize a pair or two pairs of $q\bar{q}$ states…
The assignments of the isoscalar scalar mesons f0(980), f0(1370), and f0(1500) in terms of their qqbar substructure is still a matter of heated dispute. Here we employ the weak and electromagnetic decays D(s)(+) to f0+pi(+) and f0…
