Enormous progress in physics enriched our knowledge about the particles which build matter. Among them there are mesons, to which this thesis is entirely devoted. The overwhelming majority of mesons is made of `conventional' $q\bar{q}$…
While the light scalar mesons ($S_0$) are considered to be either ordinary $q\bar q$ or exotic tetraquark states, we investigate the semileptonic decays $D\to S_0 e^+\nu_e$, by taking into account the resonant effects of $S_0\to M_1 M_2$,…
In this paper, the branching ratios and the direct CP-violating asymmetries for decays $\bar B^0\to f_0(980)\bar K^{*0}$ and $B^-\to f_0(980)K^{*-}$ by employing the perturbative QCD factorization approach are studied. In the two-quark…
Stimulated by the BESIII observation of $X(2100)$, $X(2500)$, and $\eta(2225)$, we try to pin down new pseudoscalar meson nonets including these states. The analysis of mass spectra and the study of strong decays indicate that $X(2120)$ and…
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 a_0(980), a_0(1450) and K_0(1430) decay constants are determined using a form of QCD sum rules known to produce a very accurate determination of the rho decay constant. The ratio of a_0(980) to K_0(1430) decay constants is shown to be…
Based on the mass relations from the Regge phenomenology, we revisit the mass spectrum of $1^{3}D_{1}$ meson nonet. The masses of kaon and $s\bar{s}$ member of $1^{3}D_{1}$ ($1^{3}D_{1}(s\bar{s})$) meson nonet are obtained and the results…
We study some non leptonic and semileptonic decays of $B_s$ meson into a final scalar meson $f_0(980)$ in the fourth quark generation model. Since the $f_0(980)$ meson is dominantly composed of ($s \bar s $) pair, the mixing induced CP…
Using ideas underlying the flavour-blind "Nijmegen Unitarised Meson Model" we try to understand on the basis of a system of Schroedinger equations with one meson-meson and one (spinless) quark-antiquark channel coupled by a simple…
Outline: 1. Introduction, 2. Confinement, chiral dynamics and light scalar mesons, 3. Chiral shielding of \sigma(600), chiral constraints, \sigma(600), f_0(980) and their mixing in \pi\pi\to\pi\pi, \pi\pi\to K\bar K, and…
We examine the D_s -> f_0(980) pi amplitude through a constituent quark-meson model, incorporating heavy quark and chiral symmetries, finding a good agreement with the recent E791 data analysis of D_s -> 3pi via f_0(980). The f_0(980)…
Recently, by reanalyzing the phase shift data of I=0 pipi$ 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…
We study light scalar mesons with particular focus on the a_0(980) using lattice QCD with 2+1+1 dynamical quark flavors. To investigate the structure of these scalar mesons and to identify, whether a sizeable tetraquark component is…
In this talk, an overview of the status of the light scalar mesons in the context of the non linear chiral Lagrangian of references [1-3] is presented. The evidence for the existence of a scalar nonet below 1 GeV is reviewed, and it is…
Motivated by several recent data, we test the QCD spectral sum rules (QSSR) predictions based on different proposals (\bar qq, \bar q\bar q qq, and gluonium) for the nature of scalar mesons. In the I=1 and 1/2 channels, the unusual (wrong)…
In the two-quark model supposition for $f_0(980)$ and $K_0^{*}(1430)$, the branching ratios and the direct CP-violating asymmetries for decays $\bar{B}^0\to f_0(980)\rho^0(\omega,\phi), K^{*0}_0(1430)\rho^0(\omega), K^{*-}_0(1430)\rho^+$…
In this article, we take the point of view that the $0^{++}$ nonet mesons below $1 GeV$ are diquark-antidiquark states $(qq)_{\bar{3}}(\bar{q}\bar{q})_3$, and devote to determine their masses in the framework of the QCD sum rules approach…
As has been confirmed meanwhile by lattice-QCD calculations (see e.g. hep-lat/0702023), the confinement spectrum of non-exotic quark-antiquark systems has its ground state for scalar mesons well above 1 GeV in the Resonance Spectrum…
In this article, we study the structures of the pseudoscalar mesons $\pi$, $K$ and the scalar diquarks $U^a$, $D^a$, $S^a$ in the framework of the coupled rainbow Schwinger-Dyson equation and ladder Bethe-Salpeter equation with the…
In this talk, we summarize our recent works on the tetraquark mixing framework for the two light-meson nonets in the $J^{PC} = 0^{++}$ channel, the light nonet [$a_0(980)$, $K_0^*(700)$, $f_0(500)$, $f_0(980)$] and the heavy nonet…
