    We calculate the radiative decay widths of the a0(980)a_0(980) and f0(980)f_0(980) scalar mesons into ργ\rho\gamma and ωγ\omega\gamma considering the dynamically generated nature of these scalar resonances within the realm of the Chiral Unitary Approach. The main ingredient in the evaluation of the radiative width of the scalar mesons are the loops coming from the decay into their constituent pseudoscalar-pseudoscalar components and the subsequent radiation of the photon. The dominant diagrams with only pseudoscalar mesons in the loops are found to be convergent while the divergence of those with a vector meson in the loop are written in terms of the two meson loop function easily regularizable. We provide results for all the possible charge channels and obtain results, with uncertainties, which differ significantly from quark loops models and some version of vector meson dominance

    Decays of doubly charmed meson molecules

    Several observed states close to the DDˉD\bar{D}^* and D(s)Dˉ(s)D^*_{(s)}\bar{D}^*_{(s)} thresholds, as the X(3872) and some XYZ particles can be described in terms of a two-meson molecule. Furthermore, doubly charmed states are also predicted. These new states are near the DDD^*D^* and DDsD^*D^*_s thresholds, % Therefore, if the previous XYZ are molecules, then, there should be doubly charmed mesons with JP=1+J^P=1^+ around the DDD^*D^* threshold. %For this reason, it is important to evaluate observables related to them. Because of the spin=1=1, they do not decay into DDDD. In this article we compute decays to DDDD^* and radiative decays of doubly charmed meson molecules into DD(s)γDD_{(s)}\gamma. and have spin-parity JP=1+J^P=1^+. Their natural decay modes are D(s)DD_{(s)}D^*, DD(s)πDD_{(s)}\pi and DD(s)γDD_{(s)}\gamma and DD(s)γD^*D_{(s)}\gamma. We evaluate the widths of these states, named here as Rcc(3970)R_{cc}(3970) and Scc(4100)S_{cc}(4100), and obtain 44 MeV for the non-strangeness, and 24 MeV for the doubly charm-strange state. Essentially, the decay modes are DD(s)πDD_{(s)}\pi and DD(s)γDD_{(s)}\gamma, being the DπD\pi and DγD\gamma emitted by one of the DD^* meson which forms the molecule.Comment: 31 pages, 9 figures, 20 table

    Recent topics of mesic atoms and mesic nuclei -- ϕ\phi mesic nuclei exist ?--

    Full text link
    We study ϕ\phi-meson production in nuclei to investigate the in-medium modification of the ϕ\phi-meson spectral function at finite density. We consider (pˉ,ϕ{\bar p},\phi), (γ,p\gamma,p) and (π,n\pi^-,n) reactions to produce a ϕ\phi-meson inside the nucleus and evaluate the effects of the medium modifications to reaction cross sections. The structures of the bound states, ϕ\phi-mesic nuclei, are also studied. For strong absorptive interaction cases, we need to know the spectrum shape in a wide energy region to deduce the properties of ϕ\phi.Comment: Talk given at EXA08, Vienna, September 2008.
