New Look at Scalar Mesons

Abstract: Light scalar mesons are found to fit rather well a diquark-antidiquark description. The resulting nonet obeys mass formulas which respect, to a good extent, the Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka (OZI) rule. OZI allowed strong decays are reasonably reproduced by a single amplitude describing the switch of a qq pair, which transforms the state into two colorless pseudoscalar mesons. Predicted heavy states with one or more quarks replaced by charm or beauty are briefly described; they should give rise to narrow states with exot… Show more

“…A diquark-antidiquark model was proposed in Ref. [382] by Maiani, Piccinini, Polosa, and Riquer to explain the X(3872), based on their previous studies on the lightest scalar mesons [567]. We note that this is the "type-I" diquark-antidiquark model, and the "type-II" diquark-antidiquark model [385] has been reviewed in Sec.…”

“…Among the exotic hadrons, four-quark state scenarios are of both theoretical and experimental interest. A four-quark state was predicted to exist early in a consistent description of the hadron scattering amplitudes [1], and their properties have been studied in many models [2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12].…”
