We study scalar, pseudoscalar, vector, and axial-vector mesons with non-strange strange quantum numbers in the framework of a linear sigma model global chiral $U(N_f)_L \times U(N_f)_R$ symmetry. perform fit meson masses, decay widths, as well amplitudes. The quality is, for hadronic that does not consider isospin-breaking effects, surprisingly good. also investigate question whether scalar $\bar{q}q$ states lie below or above 1 GeV find to be preferred states. Additionally, we describe resonances

When the quark masses are lighter than those in QCD, standard lore is that a chiral transition of first order must emerge for three light flavors. Recently, however, numerical simulations on lattice suggest second limit. Using an extended linear sigma model mean field approximation, we study relation between terms which break anomalous, <a:math xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><a:mi>U</a:mi><a:mo stretchy="false">(</a:mo><a:mn>1</a:mn><a:msub><a:mo...

A chiral invariant Lagrangian describing the tetraquark-quarkonia interaction is considered at leading and subleading order in large-${N}_{c}$ expansion. Spontaneous symmetry breaking generates mixing of scalar tetraquark quarkonia states nonvanishing condensates. In particular, strength related to decay strengths into pseudoscalar mesons. The results show that below 1 GeV are mainly four-quark scalars between 2 quark-antiquark states, probably mixed with glueball isoscalar sector.

In this paper we present a novel method to extract information on hadron-hadron interactions using for the first time femtoscopic data constrain low-energy constants of QCD effective Lagrangian. This offers new way investigate nonperturbative regime in sectors where scattering experiments are not feasible, such as multistrange and charm ones.

In this work we study the spectral functions of scalar mesons in one- and two-channel cases by using nonlocal interaction Lagrangian(s). When propagators satisfy K\"allen-Lehman representation, a normalized function is obtained, allowing one to take into account finite-width effects evaluation decay rates. one-channel case, suitable light $\ensuremath{\sigma}$ $k$ mesons, can deviate consistently from Breit-Wigner shape. case with subthreshold channel, evaluated well approximated Flatt\'e...

The by now well-established scalar-isoscalar resonance ${f}_{0}(500)$ (the $\ensuremath{\sigma}$ meson) seems potentially relevant in the evaluation of thermodynamic quantities a hadronic gas since its mass is low. However, we recall that contribution to isospin-averaged observables is, surprising accuracy, canceled repulsion from pion-pion scalar-isotensor channel. As result, practice one should not incorporate standard resonance-gas models for studies quantities. In our analysis use...

Light scalar hadrons can be understood as dynamically generated resonances. These arise `companion poles' in the propagators of quark-antiquark seed states when accounting for meson-loop contributions to self-energies latter. Along this line, we extend previous calculations T\"ornqvist and Roos Boglione Pennington, where resonance $a_{0}(980)$ appears companion pole propagator $a_{0}(1450)$ which is predominantly a state. We also construct an effective Lagrangian couples pseudoscalar mesons...

We study the light scalar sector up to $1.8$ GeV by using a quantum field theoretical approach which includes single kaonic state in Lagrangian with both derivative and non-derivative interactions. By performing fit $πK$ phase shift data $I=1/2,$ $J=0$ channel, we show that $K_{0}^{\ast}(800)$ (or $κ$) emerges as dynamically generated companion pole of $K_{0}^{\ast }(1430)$. This is result investigating fluctuations one kaon pion circulating loops dressing $K_{0}^{\ast}(1430)$. determine...

An excess of charged versus neutral kaons has been recently reported by the NA61/SHINE collaboration. Similar excesses were also present in previous experiments, even if with larger errors. Models for hadron productions heavy ion collisions systematically underestimate measured charge-toneutral kaon ratio. In this report, we comment on role charge-symmetry as a specific isospin transformation. particular, show that ensemble initial colliding nuclei being charge-symmetric is sufficient...
