Scalar mesons at a f-factory
How a f-factory can contribute to the
understanding of the scalar mesons

• Scalar Mesons Spectroscopy
• f0(980), s(600) and a0(980)
• are accessible (k not accessible)
• through f ? Sg
• Questions
• 1. Is s(600) needed to describe
• the mass spectra ?
• 2. couplingsof f0(980) and
• a0(980) to f ? ssgt and to KK,
• pp and hp.
• ? 4-quark vs. 2-quark states

The scalar amplitude description
We use three different approaches in the
description of the scalar amplitude
g

• Kaon-loop KL (Achasov-Ivanchenko, NPB315 1989)
  for each scalar meson S there are three free
  parameters of the fit gSpp, gSKK, MS
• No-Structure NS (by G.Isidori and L.Maiani) a
  modified BW a polynomial continuum gfSg, gSpp,
  gSKK, MS pol. cont. parameters
• Scattering Amplitudes SA
• (M.E.Boglione, M.R.Pennington, Eur. Phys.,
  J. C30 (2003))
• A ? (a1b1m2c1m4) T(pp?pp)
  (a2b2m2c2m4) T(pp?KK) ? pole residual gf

pp-g _at_ large angle looking for f0
Events/1.2 MeV

• ee-? ??-? events with the
• photon at large angle (45?lt??lt135?)
• Main contributions
• ISR (radiative return to ?, ?)
• FSR
• Search for the f0 signal as a deviation
• of M (??-) spectrum from the
• expected ISR FSR shape
• 676,000 events selected (20012002)

M(pp) (MeV)

Fit to the m(pp) spectrum

• (491 bins, 1.2 MeV wide,
• m(pp) 420 to 1009 MeV)
• Fit ISR FSR rp
• scalar interf(SCAL FSR)
• Kaon-Loop and No-Structure fits
• Good description in both cases
• of signal and background
• (Kuhn-Santamaria)
• negative interference
• The introduction of a s(600)
• doesnt improve the fit.

Scattering Amplitude Fit

3 10-5 similar conclusion from Boglione
Pennington analysis of p0p0g data (KLOE SND)
Summarizing The peak at 980 MeV is well
interpreted in both KL and NS approaches as due
to the decay f ? f0(980)g with a negative
interference with FSR. The couplings suggest the
f0(980) to be strongly coupled to kaons and to
the f. Scattering Amplitude gives a marginal
agreement.

p0p0g final state VMD vs scalar

• Fit with No-Structure approach in progress
• Fit Dalitz plot with improved Kaon loop
  parametrization
• (Achasov Kiselev hep-ph/0512047)
• Insertion of a KK scattering phase
• New parametrization of pp scattering phase
• Scalar contributions f0(980) and s(600)
• Combined fit to pp scattering data and to
  already published KLOE data on f?Sg gives six
  sets of parameters able to describe both
  distributions

• parameter values are from best fit
• The first error is statistical error from fit,
  the second one reflects the changes related to
  the other fit variants with acceptable c2
