We have studied the phi->a_0(980) gamma process with the KLOE detector at the Frascati phi-factory DAPhNE by detecting the phi->eta pi^0 gamma decays in the final states with eta->gamma gamma and eta->pi^+ pi^- pi^0. We have measured the…
The complementarity between Chiral Perturbation Theory and the Linear Sigma Model is exploited to study $\pi^0\pi^0$ production in $\phi$ radiative decays, where the effects of the $f_0(980)$ scalar resonance, and those of its more…
The KLOE detector at DAFNE, the Frascati phi-factory, has collected about 30 pb^-1 by the end of 2000, corresponding to about 90 millions of phi(1020) mesons produced. The five photon final state has been exploited to study the rare decays…
We estimate the di-photon coupling of $f_0(600)$, $f_0(980)$ and $f_2(1270)$ resonances in a coupled channel dispersive approach. The $f_0(600)$ di-photon coupling is also reinvestigated using a single channel $T$ matrix for $\pi\pi$…
We systematically reconsider, within an improved "analytic K-matrix model", the extraction of the sigma = f_0(600) and f_0(980) masses, widths and hadronic couplings using new Ke4 = K-->pi-pi e nu_e data on pi-pi phase shift below 390 MeV…
We extract the pole positions, hadronic and gamma-gamma widths of sigma and f_0(980, from pi-pi and gamma-gamma scattering data using an improved analytic K-matrix model. Our results favour a large gluon component for the sigma and a \bar…
The KLOE experiment running at the phi-factory DAPHNE has collected ~ 450 pb^(-1) in the 2001--2002 data taking. We report preliminary results on light meson spectroscopy based on this data sample; particles are all produced through phi…
We investigate the characteristics of $\sigma$, $f_{0}(980)$, and $a_{0}(980)$ with the formalism of chiral unitary approach. With the dynamical generation of them, we make a further study of their properties by evaluating the couplings,…
A sample of 1.25x10^9 phi decays, collected with the KLOE detector at the Frascati phi-factory DAFNE at center of mass energy ~ Mphi, has been used to study the radiative decay phi to eta pi0 gamma. This decay is dominated by phi to a0(980)…
Using the pole approach we determine the mass and width of the $f_0(980)$; in particular, we analyze the possibility that two nearby poles are associated to it. We restrict our analysis to a neighborhood of the resonance, using $\pi\pi$…
A coupled channel model is used to study the nature of the f0(980) resonance. It is shown that the existence of two poles close to KKbar threshold, as found in many data fits and confirmed here, can be reconciled with the KKbar molecular…
The measured rate for phi to gamma f0(980) appears to be larger than allowed on rather general grounds. We show that mixing between the f0(980) and a0(980), due to their dynamical interaction with the nearby KKbar thresholds, radically…
Using dispersion relation technique and experimental data, a coupled channel analysis on $\gamma\gamma\to\pi\pi$ process is made. Di-photon coupling of $f_0(600)$ and $f_0(980)$ resonances are extracted and their dynamical properties are…
We consider the radiative transition $\phi \to f_0 \gamma$, which is a sensitive probe of the nature of the $f_0(980)$ particle. Using the QCD sum-rule technique, we estimate the branching ratio of such decay mode to be: ${\cal B}(\phi \to…
We work out the Linear Sigma Model (LSM) predictions for the 2 gamma decay rates of the a_0(980),f_0(980) mesons under the assumption that they are respectively the I=1 and I=0 members of the bar q q scalar nonet. Agreement with…
We report the first observation of $a^{0}_{0}(980)$-$f_{0}(980)$ mixing in the decays of $J/\psi\to\phi f_{0}(980)\to\phi a^{0}_{0}(980)\to\phi\eta\pi^{0}$ and $\chi_{c1}\to a^{0}_{0}(980)\pi^{0}\to…
The decay widths \phi \to \gamma f_0(980) and \phi \to \gamma a_0(980) are calculated taking into account the finite widths of the scalar resonances f_0(980) and a_0(980). The latter are shown to be essential in order to obtain meaningful…
The KLOE detector at DAFNE, the Frascati Phi-factory, has collected about 8 millions phi decays in 1999. Measurements of Phi decays into pi0, eta, eta', f0(980), a0(980) and pi+pi-pi0 have been performed with statistical accuracy better…
The $a_0^0(980)-f_0(980)$ mixing is one of the most potential tools to learn about the nature of $a_0^0(980)$ and $f_0(980)$. Using the $f_0(980)$-$a_0^0(980)$ mixing intensity $\xi_{af}$ measured recently at BESIII, we calculate the the…
