We calculate partial widths for the decays a_0(980)\to\gamma\gamma and f_0(980)\to\gamma\gamma under the assumption that a_0(980) and f_0(980) are members of the basic 1^3P_0 q\bar q nonet. The results are in a reasonable agreement with…
The study of the process phi-->gamma K0 bar(K0) is calculated to be 5.10^(-8) in a scheme which takes into account the different isospin channels involved, I=0,1 with the resonant, f_0(980), a_0(980), and non resonant contributions.
The light-quark non-strange scalar mesons a0(980), f0(980), f0(1370), a0(1450), f0(1500) and f0(1710) are of great interest as there is no generally accepted view of their structure which can encompass q-q-qbar-qbar, molecular, q-qbar and…
Partial wave analyses have been performed on BES data to study scalar mesons. There is evidence for the $\kappa$ near the $K\pi$ threshold and the pole position is $(760\sim840) -$i$(310\sim 420)$ MeV. The $\sigma$ peak is seen in…

The decay $\eta \to \pi^0 \gamma \gamma$ is discussed in the framework of SU(3) chiral perturbation theory. The process is dominated by the ${\cal{O}}(p^6)$ in the momentum expansion where tree-level amplitudes from the effective Lagrangian…
In extensions of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics a light scalar from a hidden sector can interact with known particles via mixing with the SM Higgs boson. If the scalar mass is of GeV scale, this coupling induces the scalar…

Recently, by reanalyzing the phase shift data of I=0 pipi$ and of I=1/2 Kpi scatterings, we showed the evidences for existence of light scalar mesons, sigma(600) and kappa(900), respectively, which had been sought but missing for a long…

Scalar mesons $a^0_0(980)$ and $f_0(980)$ can mix with each other through isospin violating effects, and the mixing intensity has been predicted at the percent level in various theoretical models. However the mixing has not been firmed…
