In this paper we present an approach to study the radiative decay modes of the $J/\psi$ into a photon and one of the tensor mesons $f_2(1270)$, $f'_2(1525)$, as well as the scalar ones $f_0(1370)$ and $f_0(1710)$. Especially we compare…
It is commonly believed that the lowest-lying scalar glueball lies somewhere in the isosinglet scalar mesons $f_0(1370), f_0(1500)$ and $f_0(1710)$ denoted generically by $f_{0}$. In this work we consider lattice calculations and…
We investigate the hadronic two-body decay modes of the scalar-isoscalar $f_0(1370)$, $f_0(1500)$ and $f_0(1710)$ states as resulting from the mixture of the lowest lying scalar glueball with the isoscalar states of the ground state $^3P_0$…
We study the three-flavor chirally and dilatation invariant extended Linear Sigma Model with (pseudo)scalar and (axial-)vector mesons as well as a scalar dilaton field whose excitations are interpreted as a glueball. The model successfully…
We analyze the electromagnetic and strong decay properties of the light scalars a0(980) and f0(980) within a hadronic molecule interpretation. Both scalars are discussed within a covariant and gauge invariant model which also allows for…
It is argued that the search of the J/psi --> f0(980)omega and J/psi --> a0(980)rho decays and the more precise definition of B(J/psi --> f0(980)phi) are the urgent purposes in the J/\psi spectroscopy. It is shown that the study of the…
We discuss in detail the extraction of hadronic mixing strengths from lattice studies. We apply this to the mixing of a scalar glueball and a scalar meson in the quenched approximation. We also measure correlations appropriate for…
We perform the first lattice QCD study on the radiative decay of the scalar glueball to the vector meson $\phi$ in the quenched approximation. The calculations are carried out on three gauge ensembles with different lattice spacings, which…
The gluonic widths of four leading glueball candidates are determined from their production in radiative quarkonium decays, allowing quantitative estimation of their glue content. Lattice predictions for the scalar and tensor channels seem…
Previous work relating the flavour variation of the chiral order parameters $F_\pi$, $<\bar u u>$ and S-wave scattering data, based on chiral sum rules and chiral perturbation theory at order $p^4$, is extended to include $O(p^6)$…
In this write-up, we summarize our recent analysis of radiative decays involving light scalar mesons. Our analysis using the vector meson dominance model at tree level indicates that it may be difficult to distinguish $qq\bar{q}\bar{q}$…
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…
We propose an experiment (Mu3e) to search for the lepton flavour violating decay mu+ -> e+e-e+. We aim for an ultimate sensitivity of one in 10^16 mu-decays, four orders of magnitude better than previous searches. This sensitivity is made…
The phi(1020) radiative decays form a good playground for study of the low-lying a0(980) and f0(980) scalar mesons. The complicated interplay of kaon loop mechanism, isoscalar meson mixing and momentum dependence of the effective couplings…
Calculations within QCD (lattice and sum rules) find the lightest glueball to be a scalar and with mass in the range of about 1000-1700 MeV. Several phenomenological investigations are discussed which aim at the identification of the scalar…
The scalar mesons are established for a long time, but their nature is still an open question. In this paper, we investigate the potential of categorizing their $SU(3)_f$ representations via $J/\psi\to SV$ and $\gamma S$, offering a…
We study the radiative decay $\phi\to\pi^{0}\eta\gamma$ within the framework of a phenomenological approach in which the contributions of $\rho$-meson, chiral loop and $a_0$-meson are considered. We analyze the interference effects between…
Using two simple and robust inputs to constrain the mixing matrix of the isosinglet scalar mesons $f_0(1710)$, $f_0(1500)$, $f_0(1370)$, we have shown that in the SU(3) symmetry limit, $f_0(1500)$ becomes a pure SU(3) octet and is…
We investigate the relevance of the meson loops in the $f_0(1710)$ scalar meson decay into one photon and one vector meson, ($\rho$, $\omega$ and $\phi$). In particular we estimate the size of the loops coming from the decay of the…
We introduce a parametrization scheme for $J/\psi(\psi^\prime)\to VP$ where the effects of SU(3) flavor symmetry breaking and doubly OZI-rule violation (DOZI) can be parametrized by certain parameters with explicit physical interpretations.…
