Non-leptonic D meson decays may provide a reliable testbed for the multiquark interpretation of light scalar mesons. In this letter we consider D s decay and show that a 4-quark f 0 (980) meson could induce a decay pattern, which is forbidden for a q ¯ q constituent structure. Experimental tests to probe such possibilities are within reach in the near future.

The qq spectrum is studied within a chiral constituent quark model. It provides with a good fit of the available experimental data from light (vector and pseudoscalar) to heavy mesons. The new D states measured at different factories are studied. The 0 ++ light mesons are analyzed as q ¯ q pairs or tetraquark structures.

The spectra and branching ratios of the weak semi-leptonic B meson decays to the first excited D mesons are predicted, taking into account the confined effects of quarks using the covariant oscillator quark model (COQM). In the COQM the same relation between general weak transition form factors as that in HQET is derived, and the concrete form of the IsgurWise function is given with no free par...

After a brief discussion of the promise and limitations of the lattice technique, I review lattice QCD results for several quantities of phenomenological interest. These are: matrix elements for heavy-to-light meson decays, leptonic decay constants f B and f D , the parameters B B and B K for neutral B and K meson mixing respectively, the strong coupling constant, light quark masses and the lig...
