We show that two nonets and a glueball provide a consistent description of data on scalar mesons below 1.7 GeV. Above 1 GeV the states form a conventional (q bar q) nonet mixed with the glueball of lattice QCD. Below 1 GeV the states also form a nonet, as implied by the attractive forces of QCD, but of more complicated nature. Near the center they are 4 quark states of the Jaffe type in S-wave, with some (q bar q) in P-wave, but further out they rearrange in colour to two colourless (q bar q) pairs and finally as meson-meson states. A simple effective chiral model for such a system with two scalar nonets can be made involving two coupled linear sigma models. One of these could be looked upon as the Higgs sector of nonpertubative QCD.

  1. Light scalar mesons in D^+, D_s^+ decays into three pseudoscalars

    hep-ph 2025-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A fit of D_s^+ -> K Kbar pi amplitudes supports a tetraquark plus instanton-mixing picture of light scalar mesons, with mixed success in other charm decay channels.
