The f0(980) and a0(980) Productions in Two-Photon Collisions and Radiative φ Meson Decays
نویسنده
چکیده
We study how the scalar f0(980) and a0(980) states are produced in the two-photon collisions and radiative decays of the φ meson through unitarized Born amplitudes with the charged pion and kaon loops followed by S-wave meson-meson scattering amplitudes. We found in a previous paper that f0(980) is generated as the bound state resonance, but a0(980) as the cusp, and find here that the nature of the generation of both states is consistent with the features of the production processes. @ @ @ @ @ @@ @ @

Study of Scalar Mesons and Related Radiative Decays
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)−...
متن کاملRadiative decays of φ-meson and nature of light scalar resonances
Based on gauge invariance, we show that the new threshold phenomenon is discovered in the φ radiative decays φ → γa0 → γπη and φ → γf0 → γππ. This enables to conclude that production of the lightest scalar mesons a0(980) and f0(980) in these decays is caused by the four-quark transitions, resulting in strong restrictions on the large NC expansions of the decay amplitudes. The analysis shows tha...
متن کاملDecay of light scalar mesons into vector-photon and into pseudoscalar mesons
The decays of a light scalar meson into a vector meson and a photon (S → V γ) are evaluated in the tetraquark and quarkonium assignments of the scalar states. A link with the radiative decays φ → Sγ is established: experimental results for S → V γ will allow to understand if the direct, quark-loop contribution to φ→ Sγ or the kaon-loop contribution is dominant. Also strong decays S → PP -where ...
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 کاملFinite width effects in φ radiative decays
The decay widths φ → γf0(980) and φ → γa0(980) are calculated taking into account the finite widths of the scalar resonances f0(980) and a0(980). The latter are shown to be essential in order to obtain meaningful results. Simultaneously we also study the decays φ → γππ and γπη where a good reproduction of the recent experimental data is obtained, pointing out the necessity of a φγKK̄ contact ver...
