Introduction and motivation Introduction and motivation The nature of the light scalar mesons is a topic of long-standing debate. In the Quark Model: meson Comparing with the Quark Model’s predictions, there exist much more light scalar mesons. Scalar mesons below 1 GeV: Possible structures: 3

Introduction and motivation In the Chiral Unitary Approach: [Oller and Oset, NPA620(1997)438]

Introduction and motivation The weak decay of B mesons is a good place for testing the structure of the light scalar mesons.

Introduction and motivation Using these experimental information, we can investigate the production of the light scalar mesons in Considering the final state interactions between the light pseudoscalar meson pairs in chiral unitary approach, can be produced dynamically. 7

Formalism are the matrix elements of the CKM matrix, related to the Cabbibo angle: 8

The pair is allowed to hadronize into a pair of pseudoscalar mesons. 9 9

divergent 3-momentum cut off renormalization scheme following the Bethe-Salpeter Equation in coupled channels:

The V matrix elements are taken from V is the potential which is obtained from the lowest order chiral Lagrangian for PS-PS interaction, ——the pion decay constant There are 5 coupled channels: The V matrix elements are taken from [Oller and Oset, NPA620(1997)438] [Gamermann, Oset, PRD76(2007)074016]

Exp. Conclusion: Our results agree with the experimental results. This gives a strong support to the idea of the low lying scalar mesons as being formed from the interaction of pairs of pseudoscalar mesons. Exp.

Formalism The Cabibbo favored dominant mechanism: a vector meson or a pair of PS mesons Assume: 21

Let these PS mesons interact. a pair of PS mesons Let these PS mesons interact. 22
