The $f_0$ mesons are studied in a combined analysis of data on the isoscalar S-wave processes $\pi\pi\to\pi\pi,K\overline{K},\eta\eta$ and on decays $J/\psi\to\phi(\pi\pi, K\overline{K})$, $\psi(2S)\to J/\psi(\pi\pi)$, and…
Here we present KLOE results on the phi meson decays in pi0 pi0 gamma, pi+ pi- gamma and eta pi0 gamma, the measurement of the ratio Br(phi to eta' gamma)/Br(phi to eta gamma) with the estimate of the eta' gluonium content and the…
We study the two photon decay of neutral scalars below 1.5 GeV in the context of a recently proposed chiral model for bar{q}q and bar{q}bar{q}qq states. We find good agreement with experimental results for the a_{0}(980)->gamma gamma. Our…
Using a current algebra framework, we discuss the contribution of vector meson exchanges to the CP violating asymmetry in the decay $K^{\pm}\rightarrow\pi^{\pm}\pi^0$, resulting from the interference of the $K\rightarrow\pi\pi$ amplitude…
Based on $(10.09 \pm 0.04) \times 10^9$ $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII collider, a partial wave analysis of the decay $J/\psi \to \phi \pi^{0}\eta$ is performed. We observe for the first time two…
A fit of the experimental data to the total cross section of the process \gamma\gamma->\pi^0\pi^0 in the energy region from 270 to 2250 MeV has been carried out using dispersion relations for the invariant amplitudes where the quadrupole…
We study pi eta scattering in a model which starts from the tree diagrams of a non-linear chiral Lagrangian including appropriate resonances. Previously, models of this type were applied to pi pi and pi K scattering and were seen to require…
The $B_s^0 \to J/\psi \phi$ and $B_s^0 \to J/\psi f_0(980)$ decays are analyzed within generalized QCD factorization including all leading-order corrections in $\alphas$. We point out that the ratio of our calculated widths, $\Gamma…
In models of three or more scalar doublets, new CP violating phases appear in charged scalar exchange. These phases affect CP asymmetries in neutral $B$ decays, even if Natural Flavor Conservation holds. The recent upper bound on the decay…
A study of the $\pi^0\pi^0$ system produced in charge exchange $\pi^-p$ collisions at 38 and 100 GeV/c and in central $pp$ interactions at 450 GeV/c has been carried out. The $S$ wave has rather a complicated structure in both processes…
We discuss the recent observation of f_0(980) in charmless B-decays and in gluon jets which hints toward a gluonic coupling of this meson similar to eta'. Further predictions on B-decays into scalar particles are presented. Charmless B…
We evaluate the decay branching ratios of $\chi_{c1}\to PS$, in a quark model parametrization scheme, where $P$ and $S$ stand for pseudoscalar and scalar meson, respectively. An interesting feature of this decay process is that the…
The quark-level linear sigma model is revisited, in particular concerning the identification of the f_0(400-1200) (or \sigma(600)) scalar meson as the chiral partner of the pion. We demonstrate the predictive power of the linear sigma model…
It is argued that radiative decays of scalars a0/f0(980) can serve as a decisive tool in establishing the nature of the latter. In particular, predictions for the widths of the radiative decays S->gamma V (S=a0/f0(980), V=omega/rho/gamma)…
We study the influence of mass splitting between the charged and neutral pions and kaons in the Juelich meson exchange model for $\pi\pi$ and $\pi\eta$ scattering. The calculations are performed in the particle basis, which permits the use…
We study the $D_s^+ \rightarrow \pi^+ \, \pi^+ \, \pi^-$ and $D_s^+ \rightarrow \pi^+ \, K^+ \, K^-$ decays adopting a mechanism in which the $D_s^+$ meson decays weakly into a $\pi^+$ and a $q\bar{q}$ component, which hadronizes into two…
The prediction of the cross section $\sigma(\gamma\gamma^*(Q^2)\to \eta\pi^0)$ based on the simultaneous description of the Belle data on the $\gamma\gamma\to \eta\pi^0$ reaction and the KLOE data on the $\phi\to\eta\pi^0\gamma$ decay is…
The decays $\rho^0\to 2\pi^+2\pi^-$ and $\rho^0\to 2\pi^0\pi^+\pi^-$ are studied using various effective Lagrangians for $\pi$ and $\rho$ (and in some cases $a_1$) mesons, all of which respect the approximate chiral symmetry of the strong…
We discuss the general decomposition and possible general parameterizations of the processes $e^+ e^- \to \gamma^* \to P_1 P_2 \gamma$, where $P_1 P_2=\pi^0 \pi^0$, $\pi^0\eta$, or $\pi^+\pi^-$, for $\sqrt{s}\approx M_\Phi$. Particular…
The reaction pi- p -> pi0 pi0 n may be used to examine both scalar and tensor mesons. The f0(980) signature changes from destructive interference at small momentum transfer to an enhancement at large momentum transfer. The f2(1270)…
