The mass and width of the a0(980) have been independently determined from a nearly background free data sample and the coupling constants to the eta-pi and K-K-bar modes have been determined
We obtain reliable $\pi\pi$ scattering amplitudes consistent with experimental data, both at low and high energies, and fulfilling appropriate analyticity properties. We do this by first fitting experimental low energy ($s^{1/2}\leq1.42…
Weinberg's theorem for \pi-\pi scattering, including the Adler zero at threshold in the chiral limit, is analytically proved for microscopic quark models that preserve chiral symmetry. Implementing Ward-Takahashi identities, the isospin 0…
In this report, we present our recent studies on the Lambda(1405,1/2-)=Lambda* photoproduction via the gamma p -> K+ pi Sigma scattering process, employing a coupled-channel formalism, i.e., the chiral unitary model, which respects chiral…
We have studied the invariant mass distributions of the \pi\pi and K \bar{K} systems for invariant masses up to 1.2 GeV from the J/\Psi \to \phi \pi\pi(K\bar{K}) decays. The approach exploits the connection between these processes and the…
The decay psi(2S) --> eta J/psi is used to measure, for the first time, all prominent eta-meson branching fractions with the same experiment in the same dataset, thereby providing a consistent treatment of systematics across branching…
From an SU(2)$\otimes $SU(2) chiral quark potential model incorporating spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking the asymptotic $\pi $ and $\sigma $ exchange pieces of the $NN$ potential are generated. From them the $\pi NN$ and $\sigma NN$…
A model for S-wave $\eta\pi$ scattering is proposed which could be realistic in an energy range from threshold up to above one GeV, where inelasticity is dominated by the $K\bar{K}$ channel. The $T$-matrix, satisfying two-channel unitarity,…
This work is a direct and model-independent measurement of the low mass $\pi^+\pi^-$ phase motion in the $D^+ \to \pi^-\pi^+\pi^+$ decay. The results show a strong phase variation, compatible with an isoscalar $\sigma(500)$ meson. This…
The low-energy S-wave component of the decay $D^+ \to K^- \pi^+ \pi^+$ is studied by means of a chiral SU(3)XSU(3) effective theory. As far as the primary vertex is concerned, we allow for the possibility of either direct production of…
Heavy flavour decay to light hadrons is the key to understanding many aspects of the SM from CP violation to strong dynamics. It is often presumed in line with the simple quark spectator model of D decay to Kpipi that the Kpi system has…
In a combined analysis of the experimental data on the coupled processes $\pi\pi\to\pi\pi,K\bar{K}$ in the channel with $I^GJ^{PC}=0^+0^{++}$, the following results are obtained in a model-independent way: 1) The $f_0(665)$ state with…
Angular distributions of sigma(theta), A_y, iT_11, T_20, T_21, and T_22 have been measured for d-p scattering at E_c.m.=667 keV. This set of high-precision data is compared to variational calculations with the nucleon-nucleon potential…
Chiral Ward identities lead to consistent accounting for the sigma's width in the linear sigma model's Feynman rules. Reanalysis of pion scattering data at threshold imply a mass for the sigma of 600+ 200 - 100 MeV.
We use a twice-subtracted partial-wave dispersion relation in the elastic unitarity approximation for final-state interactions to study the amplitude for the delta I = 1/2 CP-conserving weak process K+spurion->pi+pi. We use a simple…
The threshold pbar-p peak in BES data for J/\Psi to gamma-pbar-p may be fitted as a cusp. It arises from the well known threshold peak in pbar-p elastic scattering due to annihilation. Several similar examples are discussed. The PS185 data…
In this paper, I report the preliminary results of the strong phase difference $\cos\delta_{K\pi}$ between the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed process $\overline{D}{}^0\to K^- \pi^+$ and Cabibbo-favored $D^0\to K^- \pi^+$ at BESIII. In addition,…
The scalar meson exchange in $\phi\to P^0 P^0\gamma$ decays is discussed in a chiral invariant framework where the scalar meson poles are incorporated explicitly. $\phi\to\pi^0\pi^0\gamma$ and $\phi\to\pi^0\eta\gamma$ are in agreement with…
The discrepancy between proton electromagnetic form factors extracted using unpolarized and polarized scattering data is believed to be a consequence of two-photon exchange (TPE) effects. However, the calculations of TPE corrections have…
Motivated by the discrepancies noted recently between the theoretical calculations of the electromagnetic $\omega\pi$ form factor and certain experimental data, we investigate this form factor using analyticity and unitarity in a framework…
