Both scalar and vector light resonances can be generated from the unitarization of one-loop chiral perturbation theory. This amounts to using in a dispersion relation the chiral expansion, which incorporates the correct QCD quark mass…
We discuss the impact of chiral symmetry constraints on the quark-mass dependence of meson resonance pole positions, which are encoded in non-perturbative parametrizations of meson scattering amplitudes. Model-independent conditions on such…
We present the light-quark mass dependence of the $\Lambda(1405)$ resonance at leading order in a renormalizable framework of covariant chiral effective field theory. The meson-baryon scattering amplitudes, which are obtained by solving the…
A calculation of the current-quark mass dependence of hadron masses can help in using observational data to place constraints on the variation of nature's fundamental parameters. A hadron's sigma-term is a measure of this dependence. The…
We have recently completed the one loop calculation of meson-meson scattering within Chiral Perturbation Theory. Once unitarized, these amplitudes provide simultaneously a remarkable description of the resonance region up to 1.2 GeV as well…
In this talk we review our recent developments on the understanding of the nature of the f_0(500) resonance---or sigma meson---coming from the N_c expansion, dispersion relations with Chiral Perturbation Theory, as well as finite energy sum…
A prediction for the contributions of chiral loops and the L$\sigma$M model to the radiative $\phi\to\pi^0\eta\gamma$ decay mode is presented. The L$\sigma$M is used as an appropriate framework for describing the pole effects of the…
We discuss how the lightest scalars, in particular the broad sigma resonance, can be understood as unitarized (qbar q) states within a unitarized quark model (UQM). The bare (qbar q) scalars are strongly distorted by hadronic mass shifts,…
We use the one-loop Chiral Perturbation Theory pion-pion scattering amplitude and dispersion theory in the form of the inverse amplitude method, to study the quark mass dependence of the two lightest resonances of the strong interactions,…
The sigma meson mass and width are studied at finite baryonic density in the framework of a chiral unitary approach which successfully reproduces the meson meson phase shifts and generates the f0 and sigma resonances in vacuum.
From recent analysis of the $\pi\pi$ scattering amplitude, it has been claimed that there exists a broad and light $\sigma$ meson. However, if this meson really exists, it must also appear in other observables such as the pion scalar form…
We enforce chiral Ward identities on the vertices of the linear sigma model to take into account the width of the scalar sigma, considered as a true physical resonance. We consider pion scattering at very low energies and, from a fit to the…
We review recent studies of light scalar meson properties by means of unitarization techniques, obtained from dispersion theory, and applied to the Chiral Perturbation Theory expansion. In particular, light scalars do not follow the N_c…
In the first part of the talk, I discussed results on the determination of the ratios of the light quark masses from large N_c chiral perturbation theory, to be described elsewhere. The following notes contain material from the second part…
We first review the recent accumulating evidences of the existence of a scalar-isoscalar meson with the mass 500 to 800 MeV which may be identified with the sigma meson as the quantum fluctuation of the amplitude of the chiral order…
The standard approach to determine the parameters of a resonance is based on the study of the volume dependence of the energy spectrum. In this work we study a non-linear sigma model coupled to a scalar field in which a resonance emerges.…
We construct an effective Lagrangian for the hadronic decays of a heavy excited $s$-wave-spin-one quarkonium into its ground state. We show that reasonable fits to the measured invariant mass spectra in the $J/\psi$ and $\Upsilon$ systems…
In this work the nature of the \sigma or f_0(600) resonance is discussed by evaluating its quadratic scalar radius, \la r^2\ra_s^\sigma. This allows one to have a quantitative estimate for the size of this resonance. We obtain that the…
The status of lattice determinations of quark masses is reviewed (with the exception of m_b). Attempts to extract the low-energy constants in the effective chiral Lagrangian are discussed, with special emphasis on those couplings which are…
We study the dependence of quark condensate $\Sigma$ on an external magnetic field. For weak fields, it rises linearly with the field. Pion mass and residue are also shifted so that the Gell-Mann - Oakes - Renner relation is satisfied. In…
