We perform calculations for the $bar B_s^0 to J/psi pi^0 f_0(980)$ and $bar B_s^0 to J/psi pi^0 a_0(980)$ reactions, showing that the first one is isospin-suppressed while the second one is isospin-allowed. The reaction proceeds via a triangle mechanism, with $bar B_s^0 to J/psi K^* bar K +c.c.$, followed by the decay $K^* to Kpi$ and a further fusion of $Kbar K$ into the $f_0(980)$ or $a_0(980)$. We show that the mechanism develops a singularity around the $pi^0 f_0(980)$ or $pi^0 a_0(980)$ invariant mass of 1420 MeV where the $pi^0 f_0$ and $pi^0 a_0$ decay modes are magnified and also the ratio of $pi^0 f_0$ to $pi^0 a_0$ production. Using experimental information for the $bar B_s^0 to J/psi K^* bar K +c.c.$ decay, we are able to obtain absolute values for the reactions studied which fall into the experimentally accessible range. The reactions proposed and the observables evaluated, when contrasted with actual experiments should be very valuable to obtain information on the nature of the low lying scalar mesons.
We make a theoretical study of the $eta(1405) to pi^{0} f_0(980)$ and $eta(1405) to pi^{0} a_0(980)$ reactions with an aim to determine the isospin violation and the mixing of the $f_0(980)$ and $a_0(980)$ resonances. We make use of the chiral unitary approach where these two resonances appear as composite states of two mesons, dynamically generated by the meson-meson interaction provided by chiral Lagrangians. We obtain a very narrow shape for the $f_0(980)$ production in agreement with a BES experiment. As to the amount of isospin violation, or $f_0(980)$ and $a_0(980)$ mixing, assuming constant vertices for the primary $eta(1405)rightarrow pi^{0}Kbar{K}$ and $eta(1405)rightarrow pi^{0}pi^{0}eta$ production, we find results which are much smaller than found in the recent experimental BES paper, but consistent with results found in two other related BES experiments. We have tried to understand this anomaly by assuming an I=1 mixture in the $eta(1405)$ wave function, but this leads to a much bigger width of the $f_0(980)$ mass distribution than observed experimentally. The problem is solved by using the primary production driven by $eta to K^* bar K$ followed by $K^* to K pi$, which induces an extra singularity in the loop functions needed to produce the $f_0(980)$ and $a_0(980)$ resonances. Improving upon earlier work along the same lines, and using the chiral unitary approach, we can now predict absolute values for the ratio $Gamma(pi^0, pi^+ pi^-)/Gamma(pi^0, pi^0 eta)$ which are in fair agreement with experiment. We also show that the same results hold if we had the $eta(1475)$ resonance or a mixture of these two states, as seems to be the case in the BES experiment.
The $a_0^0(980)-f_0(980)$ mixing is one of the most potential tools to learn about the nature of $a_0^0(980)$ and $f_0(980)$. Using the $f_0(980)$-$a_0^0(980)$ mixing intensity $xi_{af}$ measured recently at BESIII, we calculate the the branching ratio of the the isospin violation decay $J/psi rightarrowgammaeta_c rightarrow gamma pi^0 a_0^0(1450)rightarrow gamma pi^0 a_0^0(980)f_0(500)rightarrow gamma pi^0 f_0(980) f_0(500) rightarrow gamma pi^0 pi^+pi^- pi^+pi^-$. The value of the branching ratio is found to be $O(10^{-6})$, which can be observed with $10^{10}$ $J/psi$ events collected at BESIII. The narrow peak from the $f_0(980)$-$a_0^0(980)$ mixing in the $pi^+pi^-$ mass square spectrum can also be observed. In addition, we study the non-resonant decay $a_0^0(1450)rightarrow f_0(980) pi^+pi^-(text{non-resonant})$, which is dominated by the $a_0^0(980)$-$f_{0}(980)$ mixing. We find that the non-resonant decay $a_0^0(1450)rightarrow f_0(980) pi^+pi^-$ and the decay $a_0^0(1450)rightarrow f_0(980) f_0(500)$ can be combined to measure the mixing intensity $xi_{af}$ in experiment. These decays are the perfect complement to the decay $chi_{c1}rightarrow f_{0}(980)pi^{0}topi^{+}pi^{-}pi^{0}$ which had been observed at BESIII, the observations of them will make the measurement of the mixing intensity $xi_{af}$ more precisely.
Using a sample of 1.31 billion $J/psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, the decays $J/psi to phi pi^{+}pi^{-}pi^{0}$ and $J/psi to phi pi^{0}pi^{0}pi^{0}$ are investigated. The isospin violating decay $J/psi to phi pi^{0} f_{0}(980)$ with $f_{0}(980) to pipi$, is observed for the first time. The width of the $f_{0}(980)$ obtained from the dipion mass spectrum is found to be much smaller than the world average value. In the $pi^{0} f_{0}(980)$ mass spectrum, there is evidence of $f_1(1285)$ production. By studying the decay $J/psi to phieta$, the branching fractions of $eta to pi^{+}pi^{-}pi^{0}$ and $eta to pi^{0}pi^{0}pi^{0}$, as well as their ratio, are also measured.
We study the decay processes of $bar{B}^0 to J/psi bar{K}^{*0} K^0$ and $bar{B}^0 to J/psi f_1(1285)$ to analyse the $f_1(1285)$ resonance. By the calculation within chiral unitary approach where $f_1(1285)$ resonance is dynamically generated from the $K^*bar{K}-c.c.$ interaction, we find that the $bar{K}^{*0} K^0$ invariant mass distribution has a clear broad peak. Such broad peak has been understood as the signal of the $f_1(1285)$. Finally, we obtain a theoretical result $R_t=Gamma_{bar{B}^0 to J/psi bar{K}^{*0} K^0}/Gamma_{bar{B}^0 to J/psi f_1(1285)}$ which is expected to be compared with the experimental data.
We present measurements of time-dependent CP asymmetries in $B^0 to omega K_S^0$, $f_0 (980) K_S^0$, $K_S^0 pi^0$ and $K^+ K^- K_S^0$ based on a sample of 535 $times 10^6$ $Bbar{B}$ pairs collected at the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB energy-asymmetric $e^+ e^-$ collider. One neutral $B$ meson is fully reconstructed in one of the specified decay channels, and the flavor of the accompanying $B$ meson is identified from its decay products. CP-violation parameters for each of the decay modes are obtained from the asymmetries in the distributions of the proper-time intervals between the two B decays.
