Final State Interactions in Hadronic D decays
We show that the large corrections due to final state interactions (FSI) in
the D^+\to \pi^-\pi^+\pi^+, D^+_s\to \pi^-\pi^+\pi^+, and D^+\to K^-\pi^+\pi^+
decays can be accounted for by invoking scattering amplitudes in agreement with
those derived from phase shifts studies. In this way, broad/overlapping
resonances in S-waves are properly treated and the phase motions of the
transition amplitudes are driven by the corresponding scattering matrix
elements determined in many other experiments. This is an important step
forward in resolving the puzzle of the FSI in these decays. We also discuss why
the \sigma and \kappa resonances, hardly visible in scattering experiments, are
much more prominent and clearly visible in these decays without destroying the
agreement with the experimental \pi\pi and K\pi low energy S-wave phase shifts.Comment: 22 pages, 6 figures, 5 tables. Minor changes. We extend the discusion

Identification of a Scalar Glueball
We have performed a coupled channel study of the meson-meson S-waves
involving isospins (I) 0, 1/2 and 3/2 up to 2 GeV. For the first time the
channels \pi\pi, K\bar{K}, \eta\eta, \sigma\sigma, \eta\eta', \eta'\eta',
\rho\rho, \omega\omega, \omega\phi$, \phi\phi, a_1\pi and \pi^*\pi are
considered. All the resonances with masses below 2 GeV for I=0 and 1/2 are
generated by the approach. We identify the f_0(1710) and a pole at 1.6 GeV,
which is an important contribution to the f_0(1500), as glueballs. This is
based on an accurate agreement of our results with predictions of lattice QCD
and the chiral suppression of the coupling of a scalar glueball to \bar{q}q.
Another nearby pole, mainly corresponding to the f_0(1370), is a pure octet
state not mixed with the glueball.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure. More data are included and reproduced. Some
discussions have been rephrase
Scalar-Pseudoscalar scattering and pseudoscalar resonances
The interactions between the f_0(980) and a_0(980) scalar resonances and the
lightest pseudoscalar mesons are studied. We first obtain the interacting
kernels, without including any ad hoc free parameter, because the lightest
scalar resonances are dynamically generated. These kernels are unitarized,
giving the final amplitudes, which generate pseudoscalar resonances, associated
with the K(1460), \pi(1300), \pi(1800), \eta(1475) and X(1835). We also
consider the exotic channels with I=3/2 and I^G=1^+ quantum numbers. The former
could be also resonant in agreement with a previous prediction.Comment: 3 pages, 2 figures; Contributed oral presentation in (QCHS09) The IX

Aspects of Strangeness -1 Meson-Baryon Scattering
We consider meson-baryon interactions in S-wave with strangeness -1. This is
a sector populated by plenty of resonances interacting in several two-body
coupled channels. We consider a large set of experimental data, where the
recent experiments are remarkably accurate. This requires a sound theoretical
description to account for all the data and we employ Unitary Chiral
Perturbation Theory up to and including O(p^2). The spectroscopy of our
solutions is studied within this approach, discussing the rise from the pole
content of two \Lambda(1405) resonances and of the \Lambda(1670),
\Lambda(1800), \Sigma(1480), \Sigma(1620) and \Sigma(1750). We finally argue
about our preferred fit.Comment: 6 figures, 3 figures, talk given in the IVth International Conference
