We make a re-analysis of I=0 \pi\pi scattering phase shift \delta_0^0 through a new method of S-matrix parametrization (IA; interfering amplitude method), and show a result suggesting strongly for the existence of \sigma-particle --…
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…
The effect of isoscalar S-wave multi-channel pion-pion scattering ($\pi\pi\to\pi\pi,K\bar{K},\eta\eta$) is considered in the analysis of data on decays of the $\Upsilon$-meson family -- $\Upsilon(2S)\to\Upsilon(1S)\pi\pi$,…
In this talk I summarize a recently proposed mechanism to understand pi pi scattering to 1 GeV. The model is motivated by the 1/Nc expansion to QCD, and includes a current algebra contact term and resonant pole exchanges. Chiral symmetry…
On the basis of a simultaneous description of the isoscalar s-wave channel of the $\pi\pi$ scattering (from the threshold up to 1.9 GeV) and of the $\pi\pi\to K\bar{K}$ process (from the threshold to $\sim$ 1.4 GeV) in the model-independent…
We initiate the study of positive geometry and scattering forms for tree-level amplitudes with matter particles in the (anti-)fundamental representation of the color/flavor group. As a toy example, we study the bi-color scalar theory, which…
The structure of the light scalar mesons is elucidated by the investigation of the S-matrix poles and the q-qbar spectral density in a coupled channel model that includes pi-pi, K-Kbar and q-qbar channels. It is shown that the dynamical…
A non-unitary version of quantum scattering is studied via an exactly solvable toy model. The model is merely asymptotically local since the smooth path of the coordinate is admitted complex in the non-asymptotic domain. At any real…
We are concerned with the acoustic scattering problem, at a frequency $\kappa$, by many small obstacles of arbitrary shapes with impedance boundary condition. These scatterers are assumed to be included in a bounded domain $\Omega$ in…
We consider a nonlocal version of the Nambu and Jona-Lasinio model. The nonlocality is contained in the quark-antiquark bilinears of the four-quark vertices as a form factor of the Gaussian type. The model has three parameters which can be…
In this work, we analyze (using a chiral effective Lagrangian model) the scalar and pseudoscalar meson mass spectrum of QCD at finite temperature, above the chiral transition at $T_c$, in the realistic case with $N_f = 2 + 1$ light quark…
We present a unitary multichannel model for $\bar{K}N$ scattering in the resonance region that fulfills unitarity. It has the correct analytical properties for the amplitudes once they are extended to the complex-$s$ plane and the partial…
We study meson-baryon scattering with strangeness -1 in unitary chiral perturbation theory. Ten coupled channels are considered in our work, namely $\pi^0 \Lambda$, $\pi^0 \Sigma^0$, $\pi^- \Sigma^+$, $\pi^+ \Sigma^-$, $K^- p$, $\bar{K}^0…
In the model-independent approach consisting in the immediate application to the analysis of experimental data of such general principles as analyticity and unitarity, a confirmation of the $\sigma$-meson at $\sim$ 665 MeV and an indication…
We study the vacuum properties of the pseudoscalar glueball and charmed mesons by using the so-called extended Linear Sigma Model (eLSM). This model includes scalar and pseudoscalar mesons, as well as vector and axial-vector mesons. We…
The scalar glueball, the lightest state in the gluonic Yang-Mills (YM) sector of QCD, is stable in that framework. The scattering of two scalar glueballs is therefore a well defined process in YM, which can be studied with the tools of…
The Chiral Confining Lagrangian, based on the chiral theory with quark degrees of freedom, is used to study the spectroscopy of scalar mesons. The formalism does not contain arbitrary fitting parameters and takes into account infinite…
We show how to obtain information about the states of an effective field theory in terms of the underlying fundamental theory. In particular we analyze the spectroscopic nature of meson resonances from the meson-meson scattering amplitudes…
We estimate the I=0 scalar meson $\sigma/f_0(600)$ $\gamma\gamma$ widths, from $\pi\pi$ and $\gamma\gamma$ scattering data below 700 MeV using an improved analytic K-matrix model.
We compute pseudoscalar meson masses and decay constants using staggered quarks on lattices with three flavors of sea quarks and lattice spacings $\approx 0.12$ fm and $\approx 0.09$ fm. We fit partially quenched results to ``staggered…
