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…

We calculate low-energy meson decay processes and pion-pion scattering lengths in a globally chirally invariant two-flavour linear sigma model exploring the quark content of the scalar mesons f(0)(600) and a(0)(980), as well as f(0)(1370)…
We present recent results on scalar light mesons based on Dalitz plot analyses of charm decays from Fermilab experiment E791. Scalar mesons are found to have large contributions to the decays studied, $D^+\to K^-\pi^+\pi^+$ and $D^+,…
We recently observed the iso-singlet scalar sigma(600)-particle and the iso-doublet scalar kappa(900)-particle, through the re-analyses of pi pi- and K pi-scattering phase shifts, respectively. First, assuming the two iso-singlet states,…
We present that there should exist a light strange-scalar meson kappa', in addition to the kappa(800), which has a mass around 1.1-1.2 GeV, a rather narrow width, and couples strongly to kappa(800)sigma(600) (Kpipipi) but weakly to Kpi,…
A brief discussion of the recent interest in light scalar mesons motivates the study of a generalized linear sigma model. In an SU(3) flavor invariant version of the model there is a prediction that the the lighter scalars have sizeable…
There is mounting evidence toward the existence of a light scalar kaon $\kappa\equiv$ $K_{0}^{\ast}(700)$ with quantum numbers $I(J^{P})=\frac{1}{2}(0^{+}).$ Here, we recall the results of an effective model with both derivative and…
Pion pion scattering is studied in a generalized linear sigma model which contains two scalar nonets (one of quark-antiquark type and the other of diquark-antidiquark type) and two corresponding pseudoscalar nonets. An interesting feature…

The phi(1020) radiative decays form a good playground for study of the low-lying a0(980) and f0(980) scalar mesons. The complicated interplay of kaon loop mechanism, isoscalar meson mixing and momentum dependence of the effective couplings…
The complementarity between Chiral Perturbation Theory and the Linear Sigma Model is exploited to study $\pi^0\pi^0$ production in $\phi$ radiative decays, where the effects of the $f_0(980)$ scalar resonance, and those of its more…

The recent experimental data of both pipi / Kpi scattering and production processes, suggesting the existence of scalar sigma and kappa mesons, are reviewed. In many pipi /Kpi production processes the direct effects of their productions are…
