A chiral qbarqbarqq nonet?
We point out that meson spectrum indicates the existence of a degenerate
chiral nonet in the energy region around 1.4 GeV with a slightly inverted
spectrum with respect to a qq nonet. Based on this observation, the
approximately linear rising of the mass of a hadron with the number of
constituent quarks, and the existence of a cuasidegenerate pseudoscalar nonet,
we conjecture the existence of a tetraquark chiral nonet in this energy region
with chiral symmetry implemented directly. We realize this idea in a chiral
model and take into account the mixing of the tetraquark chiral nonet with a
conventional qq nonet. We find that the mass spectrum of mesons below 1.5 GeV
is consistent with this picture. In general, pseudoscalar states arise as
mainly qq states but scalar states turn out to be strong admixtures of qq and
tetraquark states.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figure
Mechanism for a next-to-lowest lying scalar meson nonet
Recent work suggests the existence of a non-conventional lowest-lying scalar
nonet containing the a0(980). Then the a0(1450) and also the K0*(1430) are
likely candidates to belong to a conventional p-wave nonet. However
a comparison of their properties with those expected on this basis reveals a
number of puzzling features. It is pointed out that these puzzles can be
resolved in a natural and robust way by assuming a ``bare'' conventional p-wave
scalar nonet to mix with a lighter four quark
scalar nonet to form new ``physical'' states. The essential mechanism is driven
by the fact that the isospinor is lighter than the isovector in the unmixed multiplet.Comment: 22 pages, 6 figure
The Lightest Scalar Nonet as Higgs Bosons of Strong Interactions
I discuss how an extra light scalar meson multiplet could be understood as an
effective Higgs nonet of a hidden local U(3) symmetry. There is growing
evidence that low energy data requires in addition to a conventional (q bar q)
nonet near 1.4 GeV, another light scalar nonet-like structure below 1 GeV,
(sigma(600), a_0(980), f_0(980), kappa), which could be interpreted as such a
Higgs nonet.Comment: 9 pages in Latex. (The mesons which aquire mass changed to the axial

Effects of Flavor-dependent Annihilation on the Mixing Angle of the Isoscalar Octet-Singlet and Schwinger's Nonet Mass Formula
By incorporating the flavor-dependent quark-antiquark annihilation amplitude
into the mass-squared matrix describing the mixing of the isoscalar states of a
meson nonet, the new version of Schwinger's nonet mass formula which holds with
a high accuracy for the , , , and
nonets is derived and the mixing angle of isoscalar octet-singlet for these
nonets is obtained. In particular, the mixing angle of isoscalar octet-singlet
for pseudoscalar nonet is determined to take the value of , which
is in agreement with the value of deduced from a
rather exhaustive and up-to-date analysis of data. It is also pointed out that
the omission of the flavor-dependent annihilation effect might be a
factor resulting in the invalidity of Schwinger's original nonet mass formula
for pseudoscalar nonet.Comment: Latex, 7 page
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
The multiplets of finite width 0++ mesons and encounters with exotics
Complex-mass (finite-width) nonet and decuplet are investigated by
means of exotic commutator method. The hypothesis of vanishing of the exotic
commutators leads to the system of master equations (ME). Solvability
conditions of these equations define relations between the complex masses of
the nonet and decuplet mesons which, in turn, determine relations between the
real masses (mass formulae), as well as between the masses and widths of the
mesons. Mass formulae are independent of the particle widths. The masses of the
nonet and decuplet particles obey simple ordering rules. The nonet mixing angle
and the mixing matrix of the isoscalar states of the decuplet are completely
determined by solution of ME; they are real and do not depend on the widths.
All known scalar mesons with the mass smaller than (excluding
) and one with the mass belong to two
multiplets: the nonet and the
decuplet .
It is shown that the famed anomalies of the and widths
arise from an extra "kinematical" mechanism, suppressing decay, which is not
conditioned by the flavor coupling constant. Therefore, they do not justify
rejecting the structure of them. A unitary singlet state (glueball)
is included into the higher lying multiplet (decuplet) and is divided among the
and mesons. The glueball contents of these particles
are totally determined by the masses of decuplet particles. Mass ordering rules
indicate that the meson does not mix with the nonet particles.Comment: 22 pp, 1 fig, a few changes in argumentation, conclusions unchanged.

Nonet Symmetry and Two-Body Decays of Charmed Mesons
The decay of charmed mesons into pseudoscalar (P) and vector (V) mesons is
studied in the context of nonet symmetry. We have found that it is badly broken
in the PP channels and in the P sector of the PV channels as expected from the
non-ideal mixing of the \eta and the \eta'. In the VV channels, it is also
found that nonet symmetry does not describe the data well. We have found that
this discrepancy cannot be attributed entirely to SU(3) breaking at the usual
level of 20--30%. At least one, or both, of nonet and SU(3) symmetry must be
very badly broken. The possibility of resolving the problem in the future is
also discussed.Comment: 9 pages, UTAPHY-HEP-
