The experimental isoscalar $\pi\pi\to\pi\pi$ S-wave amplitude squared below 1.75 GeV is characterized by a very broad structure $f_0(400-1200)$ with two narrow dips due to its destructive interference with the $f_0(980)$ and $f_0(1500)$.…

A resonance X(3872), first observed in the decays $B \to K X$, has been seen to decay to $J/\psi \pi^+ \pi^-$. The $\pi^+ \pi^-$ mass spectrum peaks near its kinematic upper limit, prompting speculation that the dipion system may be in a…

We suggest a simple analytical description of the S-wave isoscalar $\pi\pi$ amplitude, which corresponds to a joint dressing of the bare resonance and background contributions. The amplitude describes well the experimental data on the…
