Insights on scalar mesons from their radiative decays

چکیده
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.

The nature of the light scalar mesons from their radiative decays
The nature of the light scalar mesons is one of the most intriguing open challenges in hadronic spectroscopy. It is argued that radiative decays involving these scalars can serve as an important decisive tool in establishing their nature. In particular, special emphasis is made on the radiative decays of the scalars themselves (in addition to the radiative decays of the φ-meson with the scalars...
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 کاملStudy 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 کاملSome Developments in Light Quark Spectroscopy
Among the many unresolved questions in light quark spectroscopy, the underlying structure of the scalar mesons and the identification of states with a gluonic content rank high. Recently, new information has come from φ radiative decays, J/ψ, τ , D and Ds meson decays. Other papers in this conference review radiative transitions of φ and J/ψ. This paper discusses new information on the scalar s...
