New parameterization of the resonant production amplitudes near an inelastic threshold
New formulae for the resonant scattering and the production amplitudes near
an inelastic threshold are derived. It is shown that the Flatte formula,
frequently used in experimental analyses, is not sufficiently accurate. Its
application to data analysis can lead to a substantial distortion of the
effective mass spectra and of the resonance pole positions.
A unitary parameterization, satisfying a generalized Watson theorem for the
production amplitudes, is proposed. It can be easily applied to study
production processes, multichannel meson-meson interactions and the resonance
properties, including among others the scalar resonances a0(980) and f_0(980).Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure, contribution to MESON 2008, Tenth International

Multichannel Interaction Analysis of Scalar Mesons Below 1800 MeV
Properties of scalar--isoscalar mesons in a mass range from pi-pi threshold
up to 1800 MeV are analysed using an unitary model with separable interactions
in three decay channels: pi-pi, K-anti K and an effective 2pi-2pi. Different
solutions are obtained by fitting pi-pi and K-anti K data. Analytical structure
of the meson-meson multichannel amplitudes is studied with a special emphasis
on the important role played by the S-matrix zeroes. The dependence of the
positions of S-matrix singularities on the interchannel coupling strength is
investigated. Poles, located in the complex energy plane not too far from the
physical region, are interpreted as scalar resonances: a wide f0(500), a narrow
f0(980) and a relatively narrow f0(1400). In all our solutions two resonances,
lying on different sheets, in the energy region between 1300 MeV and 1500 MeV
are found. These states may be compared with the resonances f0(1370) and
f0(1500) seen in the experiments at CERN. Total, elastic and inelastic channel
cross sections, branching ratios and coupling constants are evaluated and
compared with available data.Comment: Talk given at Workshop on Hadron Spectroscopy, Frascati (Rome) -

Anaysis of high energy K+K- photoproduction on hydrogen
We have analyzed the K+K- photoproduction on hydrogen in the effective mass
region around the mass of the phi(1020) meson. The interference of the S-wave
contribution with the P-wave has been studied. Both scalar resonances f0(980)
and a0(980) have been taken into account. We have obtained a good description
of the available experimental data, in particular the mass distributions and
the moments of the kaon angular distribution. Our calculations give values of
the integrated S-wave total photoproduction cross section between 4 and 7 nb
for the K+K- effective mass range around the phi(1020) mass and at the
laboratory photon energy near 5 GeV. These numbers favor lower experimental
estimates obtained at DESY.Comment: 3 pages, 3 eps figures, needs ws-ijmpa.cls style, talk given by

Final state interactions in B+- to K+ K- K+- decays
Charged B decays to three charged kaons are analysed in the framework of the
QCD factorization approach. The strong final state K+K-interactions are
described using the kaon scalar and vector form factors. The scalar non-strange
and strange form factors at low K+K- effective masses are constrained by chiral
perturbation theory and satisfy the two-body unitarity conditions. The latter
stem from the properties of the meson-meson amplitudes which describe all
possible S-wave transitions between three coupled channels consisting of two
kaons, two pions and four pions. The vector form factors are fitted to the data
on the electromagnetic kaon interactions. The model results are compared with
the Belle and BaBar data. Away from phi(1020) resonance, in the S-wave
dominated K+K- mass spectra, a possibility for a large CP asymmetry is
identified.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, modified version published in Physics Letters
Amplitudes Fitted to Experimental Data and to Roy's Equations
The scalar-isoscalar, scalar-isotensor and vector-isovector pi-pi amplitudes
are fitted simultaneously to experimental data and to Roy's equations. The
resulting amplitudes are compared with those fitted only to experimental data.
No additional constraints for the pi-pi threshold behaviour of the amplitudes
are imposed. Threshold parameters are calculated for the amplitudes in the
three waves. Spectrum of scalar mesons below 1.8 GeV is found from the analysis
of the analytical structure of the fitted amplitudes.Comment: 3 pages, 1 figure. Talk given at MESON 2004: 8th International

Three channel model of meson-meson scattering and scalar meson spectroscopy
New solutions on the scalar -- isoscalar phase shifts are analysed
together with previous results using a separable potential model of
three coupled channels (, and an effective
system). Model parameters are fitted to two sets of solutions obtained in a
recent analysis of the CERN-Cracow-Munich measurements of the reaction on a polarized target. A relatively
narrow (90 -- 180 MeV) scalar resonance is found, in contrast
to a much broader ( MeV) state emerging from the analysis
of previous unpolarized target data.Comment: 10 Latex pages + 6 postscript figure
Properties of scalar--isoscalar mesons from multichannel interaction analysis below 1800 MeV
Scalar-isoscalar mesons are studied using an unitary model in three channels:
pi-pi, K-anti K and an effective 2pi-2pi.
All the solutions, fitted to the pi-pi and K-anti K data, exhibit a wide
f0(500), a narrow f0(980) and two relatively narrow resonances, lying on
different sheets between 1300 MeV and 1500 MeV.
These latter states are similar to the f0(1370) and f0(1500) seen in
experiments at CERN. Branching ratios are compared with available data. We have
started investigations of some crossing symmetry and chiral constraints imposed
near the pi-pi threshold on the scalar-isoscalar, scalar-isotensor and P-wave
pi-pi amplitudes.Comment: Talk given at XVth Particles and Nuclei Int. Conf. (PANIC99),

K Kbar photoproduction and S-P wave interference
Results of a new analysis of the photoproduction at two photon
energies and with a particular emphasis on the
-wave production are presented. We show that the proper treatment of all the
helicity components of the - and -waves enables one to eliminate the
reported discrepancies in extraction of the -wave photoproduction cross
section from experimental data.Comment: 25 pages, 5 figures, new predictions at 8 GeV added in Fig.
Strong and Weak Interactions in B to pi+ pi- K Decays
To describe the weak three-body B decays into pi+ pi- K, we recently derived
amplitudes based on two-body QCD factorization followed by pi+ pi- final state
interactions in isoscalar S- and isovector P-waves. We study here the
sensitivity of the results to the values of the B to f0(980) transition form
factor and to the effective decay constant of the f0(980).Comment: Contribution to the Few Body 18 conference in Santos, Brazil, August

Interference between f0(980) and rho(770) resonances in B --> pion-pion-kaon decays
We study the contribution of the strong interaction between the two pions in
S- and P-waves to the weak B --> pion pion kaon decay amplitudes. The
interference between these two waves is analyzed in the pion-pion effective
mass range of the rho(770) and f0(980) resonances. We use a unitary pion-pion
and antikaon-kaon coupled-channel model to describe the S-wave interactions and
a Breit-Wigner function for the P-wave amplitude. The weak B-decay amplitudes,
obtained from QCD factorization, are supplemented with charming penguin
contributions in both waves. The four complex parameters of these long distance
terms are determined by fitting the model to the BaBar and Belle data on
B^{+,-,0} --> pi+ pi- K^{+,-,0} branching fractions, CP asymmetries, pion-pion
effective mass and helicity-angle distributions. This set of data, and in
particular the large direct CP-asymmetry for B^{+,-} --> rho0(770) K^{+,-}
decays, is well reproduced.
The interplay of charming penguin amplitudes and the interference of S- and
P-waves describes rather successfully the experimental S and A values of the
CP-violating asymmetry for both B0 --> f0(980) K0S and B0 --> rho0(770) K0S
decays.Comment: 12 pages, 7 figures, subsection VD, Appendix A and one reference
