We study the possibility that the light scalar mesons are (qbar qbar q q) states rather than (qbar q). We perform a lattice QCD calculation of pseudoscalar meson scattering amplitudes, ignoring quark loops and quark annihilation, and find…
I describe some insight obtained from a lattice calculation on the possibility that the light scalar mesons are \qbar^2 q^2 states rather than \qbar q. First I review some general features of \qbar^2 q^2 states in QCD inspired quark models.…
We study the a0 and sigma mesons with the overlap fermion in the chiral regime with the pion mass as low as 182 MeV in the quenched approximation. After the eta'pi ghost states are separated, we find that the a0 mass with q\bar{q}…

We study light scalar mesons with particular focus on the a_0(980) using lattice QCD with 2+1+1 dynamical quark flavors. To investigate the structure of these scalar mesons and to identify, whether a sizeable tetraquark component is…
We study $qq \bar q \bar q$-type four-quark (4Q) systems in SU(3)$_c$ anisotropic quenched lattice QCD, using the $O(a)$-improved Wilson (clover) fermion at $\beta=5.75$ on $12^3 \times 96$ with renormalized anisotropy $a_s/a_t=4$.For…
We present a detailed study of some $4q$ hadrons in quenched improved anisotropic lattice QCD. Using the $\pi\pi$ and diquark-antidiquark local and smeared operators, we attempt to isolate the signal for $I(J^{P})=0(0^{+}), 2(0^{+})$ and…
The observed mass pattern of scalar resonances below 1 GeV gives preference to the tetraquark assignment over the conventional $\bar qq$ assignment for these states. We present a search for tetraquarks with isospins 0, 1/2, 1 in lattice…
It is a long discussed issue whether light scalar mesons have sizeable four-quark components. We present an exploratory study of this question using N_f=2+1+1 twisted mass lattice QCD. A mixed action approach ignoring disconnected…
Using lattice QCD we extract $\pi\pi$ scattering amplitudes with isospin--0,1,2 in low partial-waves at two values of the light quark mass corresponding to $m_\pi \sim 283$ and $330$ MeV. We confirm expectations of weak repulsion in…
We address the issue of bound state in the two-nucleon system in lattice QCD with the quenched approximation at the lattice spacing of a =0.128 fm using a heavy quark mass corresponding to m_pi = 0.8 GeV. To distinguish a bound state from…
We present the first determination of the energy dependence of the $B$-$\bar{D}$ and $B^*$-$\bar{D}$ isospin-0, $S$-wave scattering amplitudes both below and above the thresholds using lattice QCD, which allows us to investigate rigorously…
In this work, we calculate meson-baryon scattering phase shifts in four channels using lattice QCD methods. From a set of calculations at four volumes, corresponding to spatial sizes of 2, 2.5, 3, and 4 fm, and a pion mass of m_pi ~ 390…
We study the scaling of meson-meson scattering amplitudes with the number of colors, $N_\text{c}$. We use lattice calculations in a theory with $N_\text{f}=4$ degenerate flavors, with $N_\text{c}=3-6$ and pion mass $M_\pi\approx 560$ MeV.…
We present results on the large $N_\text{c}$ scaling of meson-meson scattering amplitudes. We work in a theory with $N_\text{f}=4$ degenerate quark flavors and run lattice simulations with $N_\text{c}=3-6$ and pion mass $M_\pi\approx 590$…
In this work we present the analysis of the energy spectrum from a recent two-flavor ($N_f=2$) lattice QCD calculation for pion-pion scattering in the scalar, isoscalar channel (the $\sigma$-meson). The lattice simulation was performed for…
Using effective field theory methods, we discuss the extraction of the mass and width of the scalar mesons f0(980) and a0(980) from the finite-volume spectrum in lattice QCD. In particular, it is argued that the nature of these states can…

We conduct a two-flavor ($N_f=2$) lattice QCD calculation of the elastic phase-shifts for pion-pion scattering in the scalar, isoscalar channel (the $\sigma$-meson). The calculation is performed for two quark masses corresponding to a pion…
We describe a four-parameter model for non-exotic meson-meson scattering, which accommodates all non-exotic mesons, hence also the light scalar mesons, as resonances and bound states characterised by complex singularities of the scattering…
