Overview
Pseudoscalars
Vectors
Scalars
The 1 2 GeV region
(1) Overview: mass spectra of mesons below 1 GeV
Pseudoscalar multi-plet:
qq states with L=0; S=0 JPC=0-+
Vector multi-plet:
qq states with L=0; S=1 JPC=1--
Scalar multi-plet:
s(500), k(700), f0(980), a0(980)
qq states with L=1; S=1 JPC=0++ (??)
BUT: provided s and k are there
the scalars have an “Inverted Spectrum”
This talk will review:
Recent measurements on P and V
(“refinement” measurements)
Several recent measurements on S
(many open questions)
(2) Pseudoscalars-I: the h – h’ mixing angle
2 recent results on the mixing angle:
KLOE measures
R = BR(f h’) / BR(fh) [Phys.Lett.B541(2002)45 + new preliminary]
BES measures
R = BR(J/ h’) / BR(J/h) [Phys.Rev.D73,052008(2006)]
KLOE extracts the angle in the flavor basis
[according to A.Bramon et al. Eur. Phys. J. C7 (1999)]

(2) Pseudoscalars-II: the h’ gluonium content
Allow the h’ (not the h) to have a gluonium content Zh’ (new KLOE analysis preliminary)

Consistency check of the hyp. Zh’ =0

Introduce a further angle fG
and extract it using all available data
X h cos P ; Yh sin P
X h ' sin P cosG ; Yh ' cos P cosG ; Zh ' sin G
Work is in progress:
3 experimental constraints for 2 angles
c2 fit worse fP resolution, estimate of fG
Space to improve the check ?
G(h’) is poorly known, at~8%
BR(h’w), BR(h’r0) known at 10% and 3%
G(h’), G(p0) known at 3.5% and 7%
G(wp0) known at 3%
(2) Pseudoscalars-III: the h mass
3 recent “precision” measurements done with different methods:
NA48 (CERN) high statistics, invariant mass of h p0p0p0 decay [Phys.Lett.B533,196 (2002)]
GEM (Julich) h production through: p+d 3He + h [Phys.Lett.B619,281 (2005)]
KLOE (Frascati) decay f h using position photon directions [new preliminary]

NA48 vs. GEM == 8s discrepancy:

with NA48 and in disagreement with GEM

Mass shift and broadening expected [see the talk by B.Kaempfer]
Several experiments: positive evidences reported:

2 important consequences: if 4q hipothesys is correct
the s(500) and the k(800) have to be firmly established
the s-quark content of f0 and a0 should be sizeable
f0 and a0 couplings with f (ss) and with kaons
[N.N.Achasov and V.Ivanchenko, Nucl.Phys.B315,465(1989)]
(4) Scalars-II: the 4-quark hipothesys
Renewed interest after B-factory results:
new scalar meson “zoology” above 2.3 GeV
reconsider the low mass spectrum
Assuming 2 quarks interacting by a single
gluon exchange. Find other configurations:
Color triplet diquarks and anti-diquarks
Attractive interaction between diquark and anti-diquark
giving a color singlet [R.L.Jaffe, Phys.Rev.D15,267(1977)]
it is possible to build up 4-quarks scalar meson
(4) Scalars-III: are there the s(500) and the k(800) ?
Latest theoretical evaluation: [I.Caprini,
G.Colangelo,H.Leutwyler Phys.Rev.Lett.96 (2006) 132001]
s as the lowest resonance in QCD

(4) Scalars-V: results from f radiative decays
The signal due to the scalar is “lost” in a large and partly unknown background:
Fit needed to extract the relevant amplitude model dependence
(a) Branching Ratios ( integral of the scalar spectrum) [KLOE analysis – model dependent]:
[Phys.Lett.B536,209(2002),Phys.Lett.B537,21(2002),Phys.Lett.B634,148(2006)]
BR(f f0(980) p0p0) = (1.07 ± 0.07) ×10-4 (includes
BR(f f0(980) pp) = (2.1 2.4) ×10-4
BR(f a0(980) hp0) = (0.70 ± 0.07) ×10-4
a small contribution from s(500))
Few remarks:
BR(f f0(980) pp) ~ 2 × BR(f f0(980) p0p0) as expected (Isospin)
BR(f f0(980)) ~ 4 5 × BR(f a0(980)) (assuming f0, a0 KK negligible)
both too large to be compatible to qq states [Achasov, Ivanchenko, Nucl.Phys.B315,465(1989)]

(4) Scalars-VI: results from J/ decays

Message: s(500) has a u-d quark structure, f0(980) has large s content
(4) Scalars-VII: widths
Another “strong” argument in favour of non qq nature of low mass scalars.
f0(980) and a0(980) have small G compared to f2(1270) and a2(1320) [PDG 2004 values]:
G(f0(980))
= 0.39 ± 0.13 keV
G(a0(980))
= 0.30 ± 0.10 keV
G(f2(1270))
= 2.60 ± 0.24 keV
G(a2(1320)) = 1.00 ± 0.06 keV
Large G compact object promptly annihilating in 2
BUT: experimentally very “poor” measuraments. Low Energy physics still to be done
A recent result by BELLE
(not yet published):
pp for W>700 MeV
f0(980) peak is observed.
G(f0(980)) ~ 0.15 keV
[N.N.Achasov and G.N.Shestakov,
Phys.Rev.D72,013007 (2005)]
A recent estimate of
G(s(500)) = 4.3 keV
[M.R.Pennington Phys.Rev.Lett.97,0011601 (2006)]
A complete low energy physics program can be pursued at DAFNE-2
[see F.Ambrosino et al. hep-ex/0603056, see also F.Nguyen, F.Piccinini, A.Polosa hep-ph/0602205]
(4) Scalars-VIII: summary and outlook
Most analyses seem to point to a non q-qbar nature of the low mass scalar mesons:
Tetraquarks [discussed by many authors...]
Extended objects: f0(980), a0(980) as K-Kbar molecules [J.Weinstein,N.Isgur,Phys.Rev.D27(1979)588]
They are not elementary particles but are composite objects [V.Baru et al.,Phys.Lett.B586 (2004) 53]
New experimental checks (quark counting):
(1) BABAR – ISR measures e+e- fh and e+e- ff0(980) vs. √s quark counting
[S.Pacetti, talk given at QNP06 Madrid]
4 elementary fields for f0
need of data at higher √s
(2) Heavy ions: elliptic-flow counts
the valence quarks
[see M.Lisa talk here]
(5) 1 ÷ 2 GeV region-I: the second scalar multi-plet
1. again: hint of an inverted spectrum 4-quark structure
2. 3 I=0 states: probably one is a glueball (Maiani, Piccinini, Polosa, Riquer hep-ph/0604018)
3. Ratio [f0(1370)KK]/[f0(1370)pp] sensitive to the quark structure and
to the glueball-tetraquark mixing scheme.
(5) 1 ÷ 2 GeV region-II: around the nucleon threshold
BES: J/ radiative decays:
Threshold effect on pp
Peak in pph’ (7.7s)
Threshold effect in fw
Consistent masses and widths
Not a vector: (0-+ or 0++)
Properties similar to h’
M = 1830.6 6.7 MeV
G = 0 93 MeV
M = 1833.7 7.2 MeV
G = 68 22 MeV

Conclusions
Many other things not mentioned:
hybrids, 1-+ states, BES f0(1790) ?, new states above 2 GeV,...
The experimental activities are mostly concentrated on the Scalar sector
(the most fundamental and the most elusive) but also on Pseudoscalar
and on Vector states.
SCALARS:
(1) Convergence of theory and experiments on the s as a resonance;
(2) There are now many hints of a non standard (non q-qbar)
structure for the lowest mass scalar multi-plet and some also
for the second scalar multi-plet.
VECTORS and PSEUDOSCALARS: precision measurements are coming.
In all cases the main difficulty is to extract “model-independent”
conclusions from data: a positive collaboration between theorists and
experimentalists is crucial.
