High-statistics data on the reactions $\gamma\gamma\to K^+K^-$ and $\gamma\gamma\to K^0\bar K^0$ are the last missing link in investigations of the light scalar mesons $f_0(980)$ and $a_0(980)$ in photon-photon collisions. It is believed…
Resonance pole positions of the $f_0(500)$ alias $\sigma(500)$ meson are computed and plotted as a continuous function of pion mass in the framework of a unitary and analytic coupled-channel model for scalar mesons as dynamical $q\bar{q}$…
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…
In this paper, we calculate the scalar $a_0(980)$-meson leading-twist wavefunction by using light-cone harmonic oscillator model (LCHO). In which the model parameters are determined by fitting the $\xi$-moments…
We calculated the coupled channel photoproduction amplitudes of the scalar isovector resononace $a_0(980)$, which include the $\pi\eta$, $K^+K^-$ and $K^0\overline{K^0}$ intermediate states. Based on them we obtained the mass distribution…
The available data on the a0(980), f0(980), f0(1300) and K*0(1430) mesons are fitted as a distorted 0++ nonet using only 6 parameters and a very general model. This includes all light two-pseudoscalar thresholds, constraints from Adler…
Half a century of work on the light scalar mesons $f_0(500)$, $f_0(980)$, $K_0^\star(700)$, and $a_0(980)$ is briefly reviewed. After summarising all light scalar candidates in the Review of Particle Physics since 1963, a selection of…
We calculate low-energy meson decay processes and pion-pion scattering lengths in a globally chirally invariant two-flavour linear sigma model exploring the quark content of the scalar mesons f(0)(600) and a(0)(980), as well as f(0)(1370)…
Using an interaction extracted from the local hidden gauge Lagrangians, which brings together vector and pseudoscalar mesons, and the coupled channels $\rho N$ (s-wave), $\pi N$ (d-wave), $\pi \Delta$ (s-wave) and $\pi \Delta$ (d-wave), we…
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 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…
As has been confirmed meanwhile by lattice-QCD calculations (see e.g. hep-lat/0702023), the confinement spectrum of non-exotic quark-antiquark systems has its ground state for scalar mesons well above 1 GeV in the Resonance Spectrum…
We present an analysis of two isovector scalar resonant contributions to the $B$ decays into charmonia plus $K\bar K$ or $\pi\eta$ pair in the perturbative QCD approach. The Flatt\'{e} model for the $a_0(980)$ resonance and the Breit Wigner…
We study the interactions between the f_0(980) and a_0(980) scalar resonances and the lightest pseudoscalar mesons. We first obtain the elementary interaction amplitudes, or interacting kernels, without including any ad hoc free parameter.…
We make a theoretical study of the s-wave interaction of the nonet of vector mesons with the octet of pseudoscalar mesons starting from a chiral invariant Lagrangian and implementing unitarity in coupled channels. By looking for poles in…
We have extended our program of QCD simulations with an improved Kogut-Susskind quark action to a smaller lattice spacing, approximately 0.09 fm. Also, the simulations with a approximately 0.12 fm have been extended to smaller quark masses.…
We present results following from the coupled channel model of two a0 resonances decaying into the pi-eta and K anti-K mesons. The a0(980) resonance can be described by two distinct poles. It is shown that the discrepancy in the a0(980)…
We discuss the effect of the instanton induced, six-fermion effective Lagrangian on the decays of the lightest scalar mesons in the diquark--antidiquark picture. This addition allows for a remarkably good description of light scalar meson…
Despite the f$_0$(980) hadron having been discovered half a century ago, the question about its quark content has not been settled: it might be an ordinary quark-antiquark ($\mathrm{q\bar{q}}$) meson, a tetraquark…
