Abstract

We rederive the new SU(3) multiplet mass formula 2M2(ss)+3M2(nn, I=1)=4M2(sn)+M2(nn,I=0) (n=u,d, obtained in our previous paper by using Regge phenomenology, for the pseudoscalar and scalar mesons in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with instanton-induced interaction. We apply this formula to the problem of the correct qq assignment for the scalar meson nonet. Our results strongly favor the masses of the scalar isoscalar mostly octet and mostly singlet states in the vicinity of 1.45 GeV and 1.1 GeV, respectively
