The classification of scalar and vector mesons is reviewed within the framework of the Resonance-Spectrum Expansion (RSE). This method allows a simple and straightforward description of non-exotic meson–meson scattering, incorporating the effects of quark confinement and OZI-allowed decay in a fully nonperturbative way. Results for resonances and bound states are compared to experiment, on the basis of computed pole positions and cross-sections. New predictions for open-charm and -bottom scalar mesons are presented.Concretely, observed vector states for [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are reproduced, and others are predicted. In the light scalar sector, the now established two nonets, one below 1 GeV and one in the region 1.3–1.5 GeV, are easily described, through the appearance of extra poles in the S-matrix. The recently found [Formula: see text](2317) meson is accurately reproduced by the same mechanism, as a quasi-bound state in the coupled [Formula: see text] system.In S-wave Dπ and Bπ scattering, new resonances are foreseen close to threshold, i.e. a [Formula: see text] at 2.16±0.05 GeV some 250 MeV wide, and a [Formula: see text] at 5.47±0.05 GeV with a width of about 50 MeV. Additional predictions concern the existence of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] scalar mesons, stable with respect to OZI-allowed decay to BK and BD, respectively, namely at 5.61±0.05 GeV resp. 6.64±0.05 GeV.

A collisional model for hadron resonances appearing in hadron collisions is proposed. The given approach leads to a simple explanation of the scalar sector below 1 GeV with correct predictions for masses and dominant decay modes.

We investigate relativistic bound states for a hypothetical light scalar gluino pair (gluinonium), in the framework of the covariant Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE). In this paper, we derive, from the covariant BSE for a fermion-anti-fermion system, using charge conjugation, the corresponding bound-state equation for a gluino pair and we then formulate, for a static harmonic kernel, the coupled differential equations for the corresponding static Bethe-Salpeter amplitude. The steps of our approach then include a numerical solution of the Bethe-Salpeter amplitude for a two-body interaction consisting of scalar, pseudo-scalar, and four-vector components and the determination of the energy spectrum for the ground and the radially excited states of massive gluinonium. We found the energy spectrum and radial distributions of fundamental and excited states of gluinonium. The comparison of the values obtained in the extreme relativistic case with the corresponding values predicted by a harmonic oscillator potential model shows that there is good agreement between the two formulations. The predictions of the binding energy of glunionium in the non-relativistic model are however systematically higher.

The two-nucleon interaction, via the exchange of scalar mesons, is examined in a nonperturbative manner. 'Schrödinger' equations are derived, and nonlocal potentials arise naturally. Both scattering and bound states are examined. A half-off-shell T matrix is obtained, and corresponding phase shifts are evaluated. In the bound state, a variational calculation is employed to determine the coupling constant.

We study the boundary S matrix for the reflection of bound states of the two-dimensional sine-Gordon integrable field theory in the presence of a boundary.

Though being weakly interacting, QED can support bound states. In principle, this can be expected for the weak interactions in the Higgs sector as well. In fact, it has been argued long ago that there should be a duality between bound states and the elementary particles in this sector, at least in leading order in an expansion in the Higgs quantum fluctuations around its expectation value. Whether this remains true beyond the leading order is being investigated using lattice simulations, and support is found. This provides a natural interpretation of peaks in cross-sections as bound states. This would imply that (possibly very broad) resonances of Higgs and W and Z bound states could exist within the Standard Model.

We calculate the decay rate of light scalar mesons, using a diquark chiral effective theory, recently proposed to describe exotic hadrons. In the effective theory the light scalar mesons are postulated to be bound states of diquark and antidiquark. We find our results are in good agreement with experimental data. The axial couplings of diquarks with pions and kaons are found to be quite small and the perturbation is reliable. It shows that the diquark picture captures the correct physics of light scalar mesons.

The possibility of the formation of a local parity breaking in a quark-hadron medium is described as a result of a violation of chiral symmetry, i.e, the difference between the average numbers of right and left -handing quarks in the fireball after HIC.The phenomenology of LPB in the fireball induces the introduction of a topological charge and, accordingly, a topological (chiral) chemical potential. Using the effective meson Lagrangian motivated by QCD in the chiral medium the properties of light scalar and pseudoscalar mesons are analyzed. It is establish that exotic decays of scalar mesons arise as a result of mixing of π and a0 vacuum states in the presence of chiral imbalance. The pion electromagnetic formfactor obtains a parity-odd supplement which generates a photon polarization asymmetry in pion polarizability. We consider that the above-mentioned properties of LPB can be revealed in experiments on LHC, RHIC, CBM FAIR and NICA accelerators.

We have prepared Ag / BSCCO and Fe / Ag / BSCCO planar junctions to study the effect of Fe exchange field on the tunneling spectra. The junctions were constructed so that the tunneling direction is within the ab-plane, either along the maximum or minimum gap direction. Andreev bound states were observed as zero energy peak in the minimum gap direction. The exchange field caused major splitting of the zero energy peak, which did not occur in Ag / BSCCO junctions. We had detected a few percent (6 to 7%) of s-wave subcomponent at the interface in many of these junctions. This s-wave subcomponent had a Tc of about 20K.

Abstract We investigate unbound single-particle states in pair-correlated drip-line nuclei by describing a low-energy elastic scattering of a neutron in the $s$-wave within the framework of the coordinate space Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov (Bogoliubov–de Genne) equation. A numerical study is performed for a neutron drip-line carbon isotope where the neutron $2s_{1/2}$ orbit is located close to zero energy. Analyzing the S-matrix poles of the elastic scattering, we discuss properties of the $s$-wave quasiparticle resonance and, in particular, behaviors characteristic to drip-line nuclei. It is found that the S-matrix has two pairs of poles; one pair appears as either a weakly bound state, a virtual state or a resonance while the other pair makes a contribution analogous to a bound single-particle state. The $s$-wave quasiparticle resonance emerges with a large variation depending on the pairing gap and the single-particle energy of the $s$-orbit.
