An Analysis of \pi\pi-Scattering Phase Shift and Existence of \sigma(555) particle
In most of the Nambu:Jona-Lasinio(NJL)-type models, realizing the hidden
chiral symmetry, the existence of a scalar particle \sigma is needed with a
mass m_\sigma=2 m_q, as a partner of the Nambu-Goldstone boson \pi. However,
the results of many analyses on \pi\pi phase-shift thus far made have been
negative for its existence. In this paper we re-analyze the phase-shift,
applying a new method, the interfering amplitude method, which treats the
T-matrix directly and describes multi-resonances in conformity with the
unitarity. As a result, the existence of \sigma has been strongly suggested
from the behavior of the \pi\pi-->\pi\pi phase shift between the \pi\pi- and
the KK- thresholds, with mass = 553.3 +- 0.5_{st} MeV and width= 242.6 +-
1.2_{st} MeV. The most crucial point in our analysis is the introduction of a
negative background phase, possibly reflecting a ``repulsive core" in \pi\pi
interactions. The properties of f_0(980) are also investigated from data
including those over the KK threshold. Its mass is obtained as 993.2 +-
6.5_{st} +- 6.9_{sys} MeV. Its width is about a hundred MeV, although this
depends largely on the treatment of the elasticity and the \pi\pi-->KK phase
shift, both of which may have large experimental uncertainties.Comment: 22 pages, Latex with Prog. Theor. Phys. format PTPTEX.sty, 4 EPS

pi^0 pi^0 Scattering Amplitudes and Phase Shifts Obtained by the pi^- P Charge Exchange Process
The results of the analysis of the pi^0 pi^0 scattering amplitudes obtained
with pi^- P charge exchange reaction, pi^- P --> pi^0 pi^0 n, data at 9 GeV/c
are presented. The pi^0 pi^0 scattering amplitudes show clear f_0(1370) and
f_2(1270) signals in the S and D waves, respectively. The pi^0 pi^0 scattering
phase shifts have been obtained below Kbar K threshold and been analyzed by the
Interfering Amplitude method with introduction of negative background phases.
The results show a S wave resonance, sigma. Its Breit-Wigner parameters are in
good agreement with those of our previous analysis on the pi^+ pi^- phase shift
data.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures. Proceedings of the int. conf. Hadron'99 at

Mixing among light scalar mesons and L=1 q\bar{q} scalar mesons
Following the re-establishment of the \sigma(600) and the \kappa(900), the
light scalar mesons a_0(980) and f_0(980) together with the \sigma(600) and the
\kappa(900) are considered as the chiral scalar partner of pseudoscalar nonet
in SU(3) chiral symmetry, and the high mass scalar mesons a_0(1450),
K^*_0(1430), f_0(1370) and f_0(1710) turned out to be considered as the L=1
q\bar{q} scalar mesons. We assume that the high mass of the L=1 q\bar{q} scalar
mesons is caused by the mixing with the light scalar mesons. For the structure
of the light scalar mesons, we adopted the qq\bar{q}\bar{q} model in order to
explain the "scalar meson puzzle". The inter-mixing between the light scalar
nonet and the high mass L=1 q\bar{q} nonet and the intra-mixing among each
nonet are analyzed by including the glueball into the high mass scalar nonet.Comment: 16 pages, 5 figure
Superconducting anisotropy and evidence for intrinsic pinning in single crystalline MgB
We examine the superconducting anisotropy
of a metallic high- superconductor MgB by measuring the magnetic
torque of a single crystal. The anisotropy does not depend
sensitively on the applied magnetic field at 10 K. We obtain the anisotropy
parameter . The torque curve shows the sharp
hysteresis peak when the field is applied parallel to the boron layers. This
comes from the intrinsic pinning and is experimental evidence for the
occurrence of superconductivity in the boron layers.Comment: REVTeX 4, To be published in Physical Review
