Study of Scalar Mesons and Related Radiative Decays

چکیده
After a brief review of the puzzling light scalar meson sector of QCD, a brief summary will be given of a paper concerning radiative decays involving the light scalars. There, a simple vector meson dominance model is constructed in an initial attempt to relate a large number of the radiative decays involving a putative scalar nonet to each other. As an application it is illustrated why a0(980)−f0(980) mixing is not expected to greatly alter the f0/a0 production ratio for radiative φ decays.

Insights on scalar mesons from their radiative decays
We estimate the rates for radiative transitions of the lightest scalar mesons f0(980) and a0(980) to the vector mesons ρ and ω. We argue that measurements of the radiative decays of those scalar mesons can provide important new information on their structure.

Radiative φ decays give us an excellent opportunity to study scalar and pseudoscalar mesons below 1 GeV. In this paper, results from different experiments are reviewed and compared.
متن کاملThe radiative decays φ → γa0/f0 in the molecular model for the scalar mesons
We investigate the radiative decays of the φ meson to the scalar mesons a0(980) and f0(980). We demonstrate that, contrary to earlier claims, these decays should be of the same order of magnitude for a molecular state and for a compact state and, therefore, the available experimental information is consistent with both, a molecular as well as a compact structure of the scalars. Thus, the radiat...
متن کاملScalar Meson Photoproduction
The light-quark non-strange scalar mesons a0(980), f0(980), f0(1370), a0(1450), f0(1500) and f0(1710) are of great interest as there is no generally accepted view of their structure which can encompass qqq̄q̄, molecular, qq̄ and glueball states in various combinations. It has been shown previously that the radiative decays of the scalar mesons to ρ and ω are a good probe of their structure and pro...
متن کاملBrief report on ‘ Radiative φ decays with derivative interactions ’ Francesco Giacosa
We study the line shapes of radiative φ -decays with a direct coupling of the φ meson to the f0(980) and a0(980) scalar mesons. The latter couple via derivative interactions to π0π0 and π0η , respectively. Although the kaon-loop mechanism is usually regarded as the dominant mechanism in radiative φ decays, here we test a different possibility: we set the kaon-loop to zero and we fit the theoret...
