Photoproduction of scalar mesons on protons and nuclei

Abstract

We study the photoproduction of scalar mesons close to the threshold of f0(980) and a0(980) using a unitary chiral model. Peaks for both resonances show up in the invariant mass distributions of pairs of pseudoscalar mesons. A discussion is made on the photoproduction of these resonances in nuclei, which can shed light on their nature, a subject of continuous debate.
