It is shown that the values of the ratios $\mathcal{B}(D^0\to a_0(980)^+\pi^-)/\mathcal{B} (D^0\to a_0(980)^-\pi^+ )$ and $\mathcal{B}(D^+\to a_0(980)^+\pi^0)/\mathcal{B} (D^+\to a_0(980)^0 \pi^+)$, recently measured by the BESIII…
The scalar meson $f_{0}(980)$ has long posed a perplexing puzzle within the realm of light hadron physics. Conventionally, its mass and width in normal decay processes have been estimated as $M=990\pm20$~MeV/$c^2$ and $\Gamma=40-100$~MeV,…
Light scalar mesons are found to fit rather well a diquark-antidiquark description. The resulting nonet obeys mass formulae which respect, to a good extent, the OZI rule. OZI allowed strong decays are reasonably reproduced by a single…
The sigma meson mass and width are studied at finite baryonic density in the framework of a chiral unitary approach which successfully reproduces the meson meson phase shifts and generates the f0 and sigma resonances in vacuum.
In this paper, we analyze the scalar mesons $f_0(980)$ and $f_0(1500)$ from the decays $\bar B^0_s \to f_0(980)\pi^0, f_0(1500)\pi^0$ within Perturbative QCD approach. From the leading order calculations, we find that (a) in the allowed…
We demonstrate how most of the light $J^{P}=0^{+}$ spectrum below $2.0\,\mathrm{GeV}$ and their decays can be consistently described by the unitarized quark model incorporating the chiral constraints of Adler zeros and taking SU(3) breaking…
Different conclusions about quark nature of f0(980) based on the analysis of data on the reaction phi(1020) -> gamma f0(980) make it necessary to perform detailed comparison of formulae used by various groups for the calculation of partial…
A chiral field theory of mesons has been applied to study the contribution of the current quark masses to the $\pi^0\rightarrow\gamma\gamma$ decay width at the next leading order. $2\%$ enhancement has been predicted and there is no new…
Using $e^+e^-$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 7.33~${\rm fb^{-1}}$ recorded by the BESIII detector at center-of-mass energies between 4.128 and 4.226~${\rm GeV}$, we present an analysis of the decay $D_{s}^{+}…
From recent analysis of the $\pi\pi$ scattering amplitude, it has been claimed that there exists a broad and light $\sigma$ meson. However, if this meson really exists, it must also appear in other observables such as the pion scalar form…
We develop a scheme for the extraction of the properties of the scalar mesons $f_0(600)$, $f_0(980)$, and $a_0(980)$ from lattice QCD data. This scheme is based on a two-channel chiral unitary approach with fully relativistic propagators in…
We prove that recent data demonstrates unequivocally that the scalar meson $f_0$(980) is mostly composed of $s\bar{s}$ quarks and that the coupling of $f_0$ to photons and mesons is in agreement with the linear sigma model.
We perform a systematic analysis of the $J/\psi \to \gamma \pi^0\pi^0$ and $\to \gamma K_S^0 K_S^0$ partial waves measured by BESIII. We use a large set of amplitude parametrizations to reduce the model bias. We determine the physical…
We demonstrate the possibility of a good description of the processes $\phi (1020)\to \gamma\pi\pi$ and $\phi (1020)\to \gamma f_0(980)$ within the framework of non-relativistic quark model assuming $f_0(980)$ to be dominantly…
We use a nonpertubative approach which combines coupled channel Lippmann Schwinger equations with meson-meson potentials provided by the lowest order chiral Lagrangian. By means of one parameter, a cut off in the momentum of the loop…
In the SU(3) symmetry limit, the ratio $R\equiv\frac{{\cal B}(D^+\to f_0l^+\nu)+ {\cal B}(D^+\to \sigma l^+\nu)}{{\cal B}(D^+\to a_0^0l^+\nu)}$ is equal to 1 if the scalar mesons are $\bar qq$ states, while it is 3 if these mesons are…
The scalar mesons f0(1370), f0(1500) and f0(1710) are of interest as there is as yet no consensus of their status, or indeed of the existence of the f0(1370). Radiative decays to rho and omega have been shown to provide effective probes of…
We study interference patterns in the phi -> gamma a0 + pi0 rho -> gamma pi eta and phi -> gamma f0 + pi0 rho -> gamma pi0 pi0 reactions. Taking into account the interference, we fit the experimental data and show that the background…
We report results of masses and decay constants of light and charmed pseudo-scalar mesons using lattice QCD with M\"obius domain-wall fermions. Using this formulation we are able to compute pseudo-scalar decay constants through the…
Within a linear sigma model framework, possible mixing between two chiral nonets (a two quark nonet, and a four quark nonet) below 2 GeV is studied. Incorporating the U(1)$_A$ behavior of the underlying QCD, and working in the isospin…
