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…
We summarize some persistent problems in scalar spectroscopy and discuss what could be learned here from charmless B-decays. Recent experimental results are discussed in comparison with theoretical expectations: a simple model based on…

The tetraquark assignement for light scalar states below 1 GeV is discussed on the light of strong decays. The next-to-leading order in the large-N expansion for the strong decays is considered. Mixing with quarkonia states above 1 GeV is…

It is shown that the recent data on the $K^0_S K^+$ correlation in Pb-Pb interactions agree with the data on the $\gamma\gamma\to\eta\pi^0$ and $\phi\to\eta\pi^0\gamma$ reactions and support the four-quark model of the $a_0(980)$ meson. It…
