Theory of Scalars
Abstract
Outline: 1. Introduction, 2. Confinement, chiral dynamics and light scalar mesons, 3. Chiral shielding of the \sigma(600), chiral constraints (the CGL band), the \sigma(600) and the f0(980) in \pi\pi->\pi\pi, \pi\pi->KKbar, \phi->\gamma\pi0\pi0, 4. The \phi meson radiative decays on light scalar resonances, 5. Light scalars in \gamma\gamma collisions. Evidence for four-quark components of light scalars is given. The priority of Quantum Field Theory in revealing the light scalar mystery is emphasized.

Plenary talk given by N.N. Achasov at PHIPSI08, Frascati, April 9, 2008. In spite of allegations in the papers arXiv:0806.0328 (M.R. Pennington) and arXiv:0803.3389 (M.R. Pennington et al.), the model of PRD 77 (2008) 074020 (N.N. Achasov, G.N. Shestakov) reproduces \gamma\gamma->\pi0\pi0 above 800 MeV (see Sec. V, Fig. 5, in PRD and Sec. 20, Fig. 9, in this talk)
