The $\gamma\gamma \to \pi^0 \pi^0 \pi^0$ and $\gamma\gamma \to \pi^+ \pi^- \pi^0$ amplitudes are discussed in the general context of Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT) to $O(p^6)$. Chiral loops are found to play a major role. This makes…

We use a non-perturbative approach which combines coupled channel Lippmann-Schwinger equations with meson-meson potentials provided by the lowest order chiral Lagrangian. By means of one parameter, a cut off in the momentum of the loop…
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…
Isospin violating mixing of \rho- and \omega-mesons is reconsidered in terms of propagators. Its influence on various pairs of (\rho^0,\omega)-decays to the same final states is demonstrated. Some of them, (\rho^0,\omega)\to\pi^+\pi^- and…
The isospin violating $J/\Psi\to \phi \pi^0 \eta$ decay is thought to be dominated by the mixing of the $f_0(980)$ and $a_0(980)$ scalar resonances. We make a theoretical evaluation of the $J/\Psi\to \phi \pi^0 \eta$ decay extending our own…

Chiral-scale perturbation theory $\chi$PT$_\sigma$ has been proposed as an alternative to chiral $SU(3)_L\times SU(3)_R$ perturbation theory which explains the $\Delta I = 1/2$ rule for kaon decays. It is based on a low-energy expansion…
