Mesons of the $f_0$-family in the processes $\pi\pi\to\pi\pi,K\bar{K},\eta\eta$ up to 1.9 GeV

Abstract

In combined 2- and 3-channel analyses of experimental data on the coupled processes $\pi\pi\to\pi\pi,K\bar{K},\eta\eta$ in the channel with $I^GJ^{PC}=0^+0^{++}$, various scenarios of these reactions(with different numbers of resonances) are considered. In a model-independent approach, confirmation of the $\sigma$-meson below 1 GeV and definite indications of the QCD nature of other $f_0$ resonances are obtained. The conclusion on the linear realization of chiral symmetry is drawn.
