Radiative decays of the $1^3D_1$ orbital excitations of the $\rho$, $\omega$ and $\phi$ to the scalars $f_0(1370)$, $f_0(1500)$ and $f_0(1710)$ are shown to provide a flavour filter, clarifying the extent of glueball mixing in the scalar…
We study interference patterns in the phi -> gamma a0 + pi0 rho -> gamma pi eta and phi -> gamma f0 + pi0 rho -> gamma pi0 pi0 reactions. Taking into account the interference, we fit the experimental data and show that the background…
We study the potential of radiative decays of the Upsilon(1S) and of the phi mesons to search for a light pseudoscalar Higgs boson, proposed as a possible interpretation of Sigma+ --> p mu+mu- events observed by the HyperCP collaboration at…
This report attempts to summarize the most interesting (and hopefully important) results leading up to and including those presented at the recent Symposium sponsored jointly by the Institute of Quantum Science at Nihon University and KEK.…
The decays of a scalar particle, of either parity, into two photons or into two gravitons are evaluated. The effective interactions are of the form $\phi FF, \phi F\tilde{F}$ or $\phi RR,\phi R\tilde{R}$; in particular, Higgs boson decay…
The simplest extension of the standard model consists in adding one singlet scalar field which mixes with the Higgs boson. O(GeV) masses of the new scalar carry strong motivation from relaxion, dark matter and inflation models. The decay of…
In order to assess the relevance of chiral dynamics in the scalar sector we address two recent problems: radiative decay of the $\phi$, for which there are quite recent data from Frascati, and the modification of the $\sigma$ properties in…
We present and discuss some experimental approaches involving spectroscopy from heavy meson decays going to light mesons. In particular we emphasis the scalar resonance $f_0(980)$, which have different well determined parameter of mass and…
We review here the physics of purely leptonic decays of pi-, K-, D+, Ds+, and B- pseudoscalar mesons. The measured decay rates are related to the product of the relevant weak interaction based CKM matrix element of the constituent quarks…
We present recent results on scalar light mesons based on Dalitz plot analyses of charm decays from Fermilab experiment E791. Low mass scalar mesons are found to have large contributions to the decays studied, D^+\to K^-\pi^+\pi^+ and D^+,…
We study the four-body decays $J/\psi\to N {\bar N}$ {\it meson meson} using a chiral unitary approach to account for the meson meson final state interaction (FSI). The calculation of the $J/\psi\to N \bar N \pi^+ \pi^-$ process properly…
Properties of scalar--isoscalar mesons in a mass range from pi-pi threshold up to 1800 MeV are analysed using an unitary model with separable interactions in three decay channels: pi-pi, K-anti K and an effective 2pi-2pi. Different…
Radiative decays of the spin 1/2 baryonic resonances R with the decay mode R -> KN in case of small energy release are considered. Pentaquark is an example of such resonance. It is shown that in case of positive resonance parity corrections…
Radiative and leptonic decays of B-mesons represent an excellent laboratory for the search for New Physics. I present here recent results on radiative and leptonic decays from the Belle and BABAR collaborations.
We have measured the radiative decays phi -> eta gamma, phi ->etaprime gamma selecting pi+ pi- gamma gamma gamma final state in a sample of about 5 times 10^7 phi mesons produced at the Frascati phi factory DAFNE. We obtain Gamma(phi ->…
Corrections to $K\rightarrow\pi\pi\pi$ induced by vector and scalar meson exchange are investigated within chiral perturbation theory.
In the analysis a status and parameters of the scalar, vector, and tensor mesonic resonances are obtained and compared with other results. Possible classification of the resonance states in terms of the SU(3) multiplets is discussed.
We construct a formalism which describes the resonances decaying into four pseudoscalar meson final states. This method is fully covariant and can be directly applied for the partial-wave analysis of high statistical data. Two topologies of…
The extrapolation of the decay amplitudes of the pseudoscalar mesons into two photons from the soft meson limit where it is obtained from the axial-anomaly to the mass shell involves the contribution of the 0^ - continuum. These chiral…
The scalar contributions to the radiative decay $\phi\to K^0\bar K^0\gamma$ are studied within the framework of the Linear Sigma Model. Theoretical predictions for the associated subprocesses $\phi\to f_0\gamma$ and $\phi\to a_0\gamma$ as…
