We study the $\chi_{c1} \to \eta \pi^+ \pi^-$ decay, paying attention to the production of $f_0(500)$, $f_0(980)$ and $a_0(980)$ from the final state interaction of pairs of mesons that can lead to these three mesons in the final state,…
Using 20.3~${\rm fb}^{-1}$ of $e^{+}e^{-}$ collision data taken with the BESIII detector at the center-of-mass energy 3.773~GeV, we report the first amplitude analysis of the hadronic decay $D^{+} \rightarrow \pi^{+}\eta\eta$. The…
It is argued that the single-spin asymmetry in the reaction $\pi^-p\to a_0^0(980)n\to(\eta\pi^0)_S n$ is extremely sensitive to the mixing of the $a^0_0(980)$ and $f_0(980)$ resonances. It is shown that at low momentum transfers (namely, in…
Using $(2.712\pm0.014)\times 10^9$ $\psi(3686)$ events collected by the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII collider, we report the first observation of $\psi(3686)\to 3\phi$ decay with a significance larger than 10$\sigma$. The…
We make a theoretical study of the $\eta(1405) \to \pi^{0} f_0(980)$ and $\eta(1405) \to \pi^{0} a_0(980)$ reactions with an aim to determine the isospin violation and the mixing of the $f_0(980)$ and $a_0(980)$ resonances. We make use of…
The scalar meson $f_{0}(980)$ has long posed a perplexing puzzle within the realm of light hadron physics. Conventionally, its mass and width in normal decay processes have been estimated as $M=990\pm20$~MeV/$c^2$ and $\Gamma=40-100$~MeV,…
We evaluate the decay width for the processes $f_1(1285) \to \pi^0 a_0(980)$ and $f_1(1285) \to \pi^0 f_0(980)$ taking into account that all three resonances are dynamically generated from the meson-meson interaction, the $f_1(1285)$ from…
We study different types of radiative decays involving f0(980) and a0(980) mesons within a unified ChPT-based approach at one-loop level. Light scalar resonances which are seen in pi pi, pi eta, K K-bar channels of phi(1020) radiative…
Motivated by the observations of the decays $B^0 \to K_0^{*}(1430)^0 f_0(980)$ and $ B^0 \to K_2^{*}(1430)^0 f_0(980)$ from BaBar collaboration, we study the $B^{0(+)} \to K_{0,2}^{*}(1430)^{0(+)} f_0(980)/\sigma$ decays in the perturbative…
We describe the $B^0$ and $B^0_s$ decays into $J/\psi$ $f_0(500)$ and $J/\psi$ $f_0(980)$ by taking into account the dominant process for the weak decay of $B^0$ and $B^0_s$ into $J/\psi$ and a $q \bar q$ component. After hadronization of…
The potentialities of the production of the $a_0(980)$ and $f_0(980)$ mesons in the $\phi$ radiative decays are considered.
The complementarity between Chiral Perturbation Theory and the Linear Sigma Model is exploited to study $\pi^0\pi^0$ production in $\phi$ radiative decays, where the effects of the $f_0(980)$ scalar resonance, and those of its more…
We study the $J/\psi \rightarrow K^+ K^- f_0(980)(a_0(980))$ reaction and find that the mechanism to produce this decay develops a triangle singularity around $M_{\rm inv}(K^- f_0/K^- a_0) \approx 1515$~MeV. The differential width $d\Gamma…
Inspired by a large decay branching ratio (BR) of $B^{+}\to f_{0}(980)K^{+}$ measured by Belle recently, we propose that a significant evidence of the component of $n\bar{n}=(u\bar{u}+d\bar{d})/\sqrt{2}$ in $f_{0}(980)$ could be…
The low and approximately equal masses of the scalar mesons $f_0(980)$ and $a_0(980)$, as well as their relatively small decay widths, are impossible to understand in terms of standard $P$-wave quark-antiquark states. Here, these mesons are…

The decay widths \phi \to \gamma f_0(980) and \phi \to \gamma a_0(980) are calculated taking into account the finite widths of the scalar resonances f_0(980) and a_0(980). The latter are shown to be essential in order to obtain meaningful…
In this paper, the branching ratios and the direct CP-violating asymmetries for decays $\bar B^0\to f_0(980)\bar K^{*0}$ and $B^-\to f_0(980)K^{*-}$ by employing the perturbative QCD factorization approach are studied. In the two-quark…
