Properties of scalar--isoscalar mesons in a mass range from pi-pi threshold up to 1800 MeV are analysed using an unitary model with separable interactions in three decay channels: pi-pi, K-anti K and an effective 2pi-2pi. Different…
Threshold expansions of the $\pi\pi$ and $K\overline{K}$ spin 0 and isospin 0 scattering amplitudes are performed. Scattering lengths, effective ranges and so--called volume parameters are evaluated. Good agreement with the existing…
Scalar-isoscalar mesons are studied using an unitary model in three channels: pi-pi, K-anti K and an effective 2pi-2pi. All the solutions, fitted to the pi-pi and K-anti K data, exhibit a wide f0(500), a narrow f0(980) and two relatively…
The formalism of the coupled $q\bar q$ and the $\varphi\varphi ( \pi-\pi$, $K\bar K, \pi K,...$) scalar channels is formulated, taking into account the ground and radial excited $q\bar q$ poles. The basic role is shown to be played by the…
New solutions on the scalar -- isoscalar $\pi\pi$ phase shifts are analysed together with previous $K\bar{K}$ results using a separable potential model of three coupled channels ($\pi\pi$, $K\bar{K}$ and an effective $2\pi 2\pi$ system).…

Pion-kaon ($\pi K$) pairs occur frequently as final states in heavy-particle decays. A consistent treatment of $\pi K$ scattering and production amplitudes over a wide energy range is therefore mandatory for multiple applications: in…

We present for the first time a determination of the energy dependence of the isoscalar $\pi\pi$ elastic scattering phase-shift within a first-principles numerical lattice approach to QCD. Hadronic correlation functions are computed…
We review our analysis of $\pi K$ scattering using forward dispersion relations. The method yields a set of simple parameterizations that are compatible with forward dispersion relations up to 1.6 GeV while still describing the data. Once…
We discuss the application of a relativistic potential model to the description of the spectrum and radiative transitions in mesons containing at least one heavy quark (b or c). Although the model has a small number of parameters, it is…
We derive a new parametrization for the scalar pion form factors that allows us to analyze data over a large energy range via the inclusion of resonances, and at the same time to ensure consistency with the high-accuracy dispersive…
On the basis of a simultaneous description of the isoscalar s-wave channel of the $\pi\pi$ scattering (from the threshold up to 1.9 GeV) and of the $\pi\pi\to K\bar{K}$ process (from the threshold to $\sim$ 1.4 GeV) in the model-independent…
We perform a rigorous analysis of the $\pi K$ scattering at an unphysical pion mass 391 MeV using the Roy-Steiner equations, which satisfy unitarity, analyticity and crossing symmetry, for the first time. Stable solutions of the Roy-Steiner…
Resonance, bound-state, and virtual-state pole positions of the $f_0(500)$ scalar meson are computed as a continuous function of pion mass in the framework of a unitarized and analytic coupled-channel model for scalar mesons, described as…
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…
The scalar-isoscalar pi-pi phase shifts are calculated in the pi-pi energy range from 600 MeV to 1600 MeV. We use results of the CERN-Cracow-Munich collaboration for the reaction pi^- p --> pi^+ pi^- n on a transversely polarized target at…
The zero-range potential approach is extended for the description of situations where two-body scattering is resonant in arbitrary partial waves. The formalism generalizes the Fermi pseudopotential which can be used only for s-wave broad…
The polarizabilities of light pseudoscalar mesons can be extracted from differential cross sections for Compton scattering near threshold. While this has been accomplished for charged pions employing Primakoff reactions, a corresponding…
