In this work the nature of the \sigma or f_0(600) resonance is discussed by evaluating its quadratic scalar radius, \la r^2\ra_s^\sigma. This allows one to have a quantitative estimate for the size of this resonance. We obtain that the…
A S-wave \pi\pi resonance below 1 GeV/c^2, sigma has been observed in analyses of the phase shift data of \pi\pi scatterings. It is important to observe it in production processes. A huge events of \pi^0\pi^0 below 1 GeV/c^2 is seen in the…
Masses and widths of the four light scalar mesons $\sigma$, $\kappa$, $a_0$(980) and $f_0$(980) may be reproduced in a model where mesons scatter via a $q\bar{q}$ loop. A transition potential is used to couple mesons to $q\bar{q}$ at a…
We present a data-driven analysis of the resonant S-wave $\pi\pi \to \pi\pi$ and $\pi K \to \pi K$ reactions using the partial-wave dispersion relation. The contributions from the left-hand cuts are accounted for using the Taylor expansion…
We present a new model independent amplitude analysis of reaction pi(-)p->pi(-) pi(+)n measured at CERN at 17.2 GeV/c on polarized target using a Monte Carlo method for dipion mass 580-1080 MeV. The two solutions for measured moduli…
We propose that the spectrum of light mesons (the $\pi$ and $\rho$, together with their radial excitations) can be calculated in the limit of vanishing light quark masses by studying gauge theory (open string theory) on suitable higher…
We describe the behaviour at threshold of S-wave poles of the scattering matrix within a four-parameter model for non-exotic meson-meson scattering. This model accommodates all non-exotic mesons, hence also the light scalar mesons, as…
We study the semileptonic decays of $D_{s}^{+}$, $D^{+}$, and $D^{0}$ mesons into the light scalar mesons [$f_{0} (500)$, $K_{0}^{\ast} (800)$, $f_{0} (980)$, and $a_{0}(980)$] and the light vector mesons [$\rho (770)$, $\omega (782)$,…
We present a simple model for the $\gamma N \to \pi \pi N$ reaction which reproduces the cross sections of the $\pi^+ \pi^- p, \pi^+ \pi^- n, \pi^+ \pi^0 n$ and $\pi^- \pi^0 p$ channels over the range of the energies 0.41-0.85 GeV. We use…
We use the Linear Sigma Model to test the convergence of different sequences of Pade Approximants when used to unitarize the low energy pi-pi scattering amplitude. We find that, in this particular case, diagonal sequences reproduce the…
We present a theoretical study of the $\gamma\gamma^{*} \to \pi^+\pi^-, \pi^0\pi^0$ processes from the threshold through the $f_2(1270)$ region in the $\pi\pi$ invariant mass. We adopt the Omn\`es representation in order to account for…
We generalize our previous work on \pi\pi scattering to K\pi scattering, and re-analyze the experiment data of K\pi scattering below 1.6 GeV. Without any free parameter, we explain K\pi I=3/2 S-wave phase shift very well by using t-channel…
Scalar-isoscalar mesons are studied using an unitary model in three channels: pi-pi, K-anti K and an effective 2pi-2pi. All the solutions, fitted to the pi-pi and K-anti K data, exhibit a wide f0(500), a narrow f0(980) and two relatively…
In the paper Phys. Rev. {\bf D83}, 054008 (2011) we constructed the $\pi\pi$ scattering amplitude $T^0_0$ with regular analytical properties in the $s$ complex plane, describing both experimental data and the results based on chiral…
An overview is presented about old and recent methods to compute the $K\to \pi \pi$ decay amplitude.
In most of the Nambu:Jona-Lasinio(NJL)-type models, realizing the hidden chiral symmetry, the existence of a scalar particle \sigma is needed with a mass m_\sigma=2 m_q, as a partner of the Nambu-Goldstone boson \pi. However, the results of…
We calculate the cross sections for dissociation of $J/\psi$ by pions and $\rho$-mesons within the framework of a meson exchange model. We find that these cross sections are small at center-of-mass energies less than 1 GeV above threshold,…
By generalizing the well known results for reflection and refraction of plane waves at the vacuum-medium interface to Gaussian light beams, we obtain analytic formulas for reflection and refraction of the TM and TE laser light pulses. This…
We show that the splitting between the light pseudo-scalar and vector meson states is due to the strong short-range attraction in the ^1S_0 sector which makes the pion and the kaon light particles. We use a light-cone QCD-inspired model of…
Motivated by the 1/Nc expansion, we present a simple model of pion-pion scattering as a sum of a `current-algebra' contact term and resonant pole exchanges. The model preserves crossing symmetry as well as unitarity up to 1.2 GeV. Key…
