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 is…
The isospin violating $J/\Psi\to \phi \pi^0 \eta$ decay is thought to be dominated by the mixing of the $f_0(980)$ and $a_0(980)$ scalar resonances. We make a theoretical evaluation of the $J/\Psi\to \phi \pi^0 \eta$ decay extending our own…
The $\phi \to K^+K^-,K^{0}_{L},K^{0}_{S},K^{0}\bar K^0$ decays are studied using the method of phenomenological chiral Lagrangians. Calculated values for partial widths for these decay channels are compared with available experimental data.
Spectrum of masses of light pseudoscalar ($\pi, K, \eta, \eta'$) and vector ($\rho, K^*, \omega, \phi$) mesons can be explained on the base of the following assumptions: (1) analytical confinement (propagators of quarks and gluons are…
In order to assess the relevance of chiral dynamics in the scalar sector we address two recent problems: radiative decay of the $\phi$, for which there are quite recent data from Frascati, and the modification of the $\sigma$ properties in…
Some recent results on light meson physics are reviewed. The new evidence of low mass scalar mesons together with an improved measurement of the phi radiative decays in scalar mesons, give new insight into the nature and the structure of…
The hadronic charmless B decays into a scalar meson and a pseudoscalar meson are studied within the framework of QCD factorization. Although the light scalar mesons $f_0(980)$ and $a_0(980)$ are widely perceived as primarily the four-quark…
We study the decay $\phi\to\gamma K^+K^-$ taking into account the scalar mesons production $\phi\to\gamma(f_0+a_0) \to\gamma K^+K^-$ and the final state radiation. We note that the relative sign between the final state radiation amplitude…
Non-leptonic D meson decays may provide a reliable testbed for the multiquark interpretation of light scalar mesons. In this letter we consider D_s decay and show that a 4-quark f_0(980) meson could induce a decay pattern, which is…
We study the dynamical generation of scalar mesons in the light quark sector ($q\in\{u,d,s\}$) and calculate the masses and widths for the $f_0(500),a_0(980)$ and $f_0(980)$. To this end we study the mixing of conventional $q\bar{q}$ and…
We provide a modern pedagogical introduction to light mesons. We discuss their masses and widths, their classification into multiplets of isospin and flavor SU(3), as well as other quantum numbers, mixing schemes, observable states, and…
The complementarity between Chiral Perturbation Theory and the Linear Sigma Model is exploited to study scalar meson exchange in V->P0P0gamma decays. The recently reported experimental data on phi->pi0pi0gamma, phi->pi0etagamma and…
Radiative phi decays give us an excellent opportunity to study scalar and pseudoscalar meson below 1 GeV. In this paper, results from different experiments are reviewed and compared.
The role of light scalar meson `$f_0 (600)$' is investigated in nuclear matter in an Effective chiral model in the mean-field approach. For the purpose, we scan the properties of the matter at various saturation densities imposing…
Low-energy meson-meson scattering data are a powerful testing ground for quark models. Here, we describe the behaviour at threshold of S-wave scattering-matrix singularities. The majority of the full scattering-matrix mesonic poles stem…
Recently, the Belle Collaboration has measured the $\Lambda_c^+ \to \eta \Lambda \pi^+$ decay and reported the $\eta\Lambda$ and $\Lambda\pi^+ $ invariant mass distributions, which show the clear signals of the resonances $\Lambda(1670)$…
The light scalar mesons in a variety of approaches are briefly reviewed, as well as their description in the Resonance-Spectrum Expansion and related coupled-channel formalisms. A recent multichannel modelling of the light scalars is…
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 potentialities of the production of the $a_0$ and $f_0$ mesons in the $\phi$ radiative decays are considered based on a new two-channel analysis of the $\pi\pi$ scattering in a energy region near 1 GeV. We predict $BR(\phi\to\gamma…
The decay widths \phi \to \gamma f_0(980) and \phi \to \gamma a_0(980) are calculated taking into account the finite widths of the scalar resonances f_0(980) and a_0(980). The latter are shown to be essential in order to obtain meaningful…
