It is presented a critical consideration of all unusual properties of the scalar $a_0(980)$ and $f_0(980)$-mesons in the four-quark, two-quark and molecular models. The arguments are adduced that the four-quark model is more preferable. It…
Motivated by the BESIII amplitude analysis of the single Cabibbo-suppressed process $D^+\to \pi^0\pi^+\eta$, we investigate this reaction by taking into account the contributions from the $a_0(980)$, $\rho$, and $a_0(1710)$, where the…
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…
Combining the recent lattice calculation of $a_0(1450)$ and $\sigma(600)$ mesons with the overlap fermion in the chiral regime with the pion mass less than $300 {\rm MeV}$, the quenched lattice calculation of the scalar glueball, and the…
The structure of the light scalar mesons is elucidated by the investigation of the S-matrix poles and the q-qbar spectral density in a coupled channel model that includes pi-pi, K-Kbar and q-qbar channels. It is shown that the dynamical…
There are three scalar nonets in the Particle Data Group (PDG), one of which includes [$a_0(980), K_0^*(700)$], another includes [$a_0(1450), K_0^*(1430)$], and the third includes [$a_0(1710), K_0^*(1950)$]. Motivated by Ref.[1], we examine…

We consider the nonleptonic and semileptonic decays of $D_s$-mesons into $\phi$ and $f_0(980)$ mesons. QCD sum rules are used to calculate the form factors associated with these decays, and the correspondig decay rates. On the basis of data…

A phenomenological analysis of the scalar meson f0(980) is performed that relies on the quasi-two body decays D and Ds -> f0(980)P, with P=pi, K. The two-body branching ratios are deduced from experimental data on D or Ds -> pi pi pi, K…
In this work, we study the branching ratios of B^{0}_{s}\rightarrow a_{0}(980)[ \rightarrow K\overline{K}, \pi\eta]a_{0}(980), B^{0}_{s} \rightarrow f_{0}(980)[ \rightarrow \pi^{+}\pi^{-}, K^{+}K^{-}]f_{0}(980) and B^{0}_{s} \rightarrow…
We investigate the structure of the scalar mesons $f_0(975)$ and $a_0(980)$ within realistic meson-exchange models of the $\pi\pi$ and $\pi\eta$ interactions. Starting from a modified version of the J\"ulich model for $\pi\pi$ scattering we…

In this article, with the assumption of explicit isospin violation arising from the $f_0(980)-a_0(980)$ mixing, we take the point of view that the scalar mesons $f_0(980)$ and $a_0(980)$ have both strange and non-strange quark-antiquark…
By comparing SU(3)-breaking scales of linear mass formulae, it is shown that the lowest vector and scalar mesons all have a $\bar{q}q$ configuration, while the ground-state octet and decuplet baryons are $qqq$. Also, the quark-level linear…
We use the QCD sum rules to evaluate the form factors associated with the semileptonic decays of $D_s$ and $D$ mesons into $f_0(980)$. We consider the $f_0(980)$ meson as a quark-antiquark state with a mixture of strange and light…
The assignments of the isoscalar scalar mesons f0(980), f0(1370), and f0(1500) in terms of their qqbar substructure is still a matter of heated dispute. Here we employ the weak and electromagnetic decays D(s)(+) to f0+pi(+) and f0…

High-statistics data on the reactions $\gamma\gamma\to K^+K^-$ and $\gamma\gamma\to K^0\bar K^0$ are the last missing link in investigations of the light scalar mesons $f_0(980)$ and $a_0(980)$ in photon-photon collisions. It is believed…
We study the light scalar mesons a_0(980) and kappa using N_f = 2+1+1 flavor lattice QCD. In order to probe the internal structure of these scalar mesons, and in particular to identify, whether a sizeable tetraquark component is present, we…
