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…

Spectrum of masses of light pseudoscalar ($\pi, K, \eta, \eta'$) and vector ($\rho, K^*, \omega, \phi$) mesons can be explained on the base of the following assumptions: (1) analytical confinement (propagators of quarks and gluons are…
The masses of pure gauge glueballs are calculated with the use of relativistic string Hamiltonian without fitting parameters. The string tension $\sigma_f=0.184$~GeV$^2$ in fundamental representation is fixed, using the Necco-Sommer lattice…
Using two simple and robust inputs to constrain the mixing matrix of the isosinglet scalar mesons $f_0(1710)$, $f_0(1500)$, $f_0(1370)$, we have shown that in the SU(3) symmetry limit, $f_0(1500)$ becomes a pure SU(3) octet and is…
Computations in the quenched approximation on the lattice predict the lightest glueball to be a scalar in the 1.5-1.8 GeV region. Here we calculate the dynamical effect the coupling to two pseudoscalars has on the mass, width and decay…
