Introduction Structures of scalar mesons are still not clear. two-quark state, multi-quark state, meson-meson states, glueball… Two nonets above or below/near 1 GeV : 1. f_0(600), f_0(980), K_0^{*} (800), a_0(980) 2. f_0(1370), f_0(1500)/ f_0(1710), K_0^{*} (1430), a_0(1450) It has been suggested that the scalar mesons above 1 GeV can be identified as conventional two-quark states, even with some possible gluon component. The light scalar mesons below or near 1GeV are dominated by multi-quark states. F. Close and N.A. Tornqvist, J. Phys. G 28, 249 (2002)

Study on production of scalar mesons in B meson decay can provide much useful information about their inner structure of scalar mesons. Wei Wang, Yue-Long Shen, Ying Li and Cai-Dian Lu, hep-ph/ However, only twist-2 distribution amplitudes (DAs) of scalar mesons are available now. So it is necessary to calculate the moments of twist-3 DAs in order to give more accuracy predictions. Twist-3 DAs of pion are very important for B decays to pion pion, so it is necessary to investigate the effects of twist-3 DAs of scalar mesons in B decays to scalar mesons. Introduction

Introduction The idea of the QCDSR formulism is to approach the bound state problem in QCD from the asymptotic freedom side, i.e., to start at short distances and move to larger distances where confinement effects become important, asymptotic freedom starts to break down and resonances emerge as a reflection of the fact that quarks and gluons are permanently confined within hadrons. The breakdown of asymptotic freedom is signalled by emergence of power corrections due to non- perturbative effects in the QCD vacuum. These are introduced via nonvanishing vacuum expectation values of quark and gluon condensates operators. L.J. Reinders, H.R. Rubinstein, S. Yazaki, Phys. Rep. 127, 1 (1985).

Sum rules for the moments of scalar mesons Definition of twist-3 DAs for scalar mesons: The decay constants \bar{f}_s is defined as: Here.

Sum rules for the moments of scalar mesons Setting y=-x=z and expanding the above definitions around z^2=0, we have In general, the above two twist-3 DAs have the following form:

In order to calculate the moments of distribution amplitudes, we consider the following two correlation functions Sum rules for the moments of scalar mesons The correlation functions can be calculated by virtue of OPE in deep Euclidean region (-q^2>>0). The results can be written as

The numerical parameters at 1 GeV scale used in this paper are taken as Moments for twist-3 DA \phi_{a_0}^{s} of a_0

Here a_0 indicate that the scalar meson is composed of u \bar{d}. In order to obtain the value of its moments from Eq. (16), we should calculate the mass and decay constant for a_0 before. The mass can be obtained by taking logarithm of both sides of Eq. (16), and then applying differential operator to both sides of Eq. (16), while the decay constant can be immediately calculated from Eq. (16) once the mass is known. For the sum rules of mass, the threshold value and Borel parameter are taken as.

From the above figures, we can find that the value of these two moments are in the range of [0.0017,0.0023] and [0.21,0.29] respectively. It is obvious that the first moment corresponding to SU(3) symmetry breaking effect is tiny. Moments for twist-3 DA \phi_{k^{*}_0}^{s} of k^{*}_0

Summary and Outlook In this work, we have calculated the moments of twist-3 DAs for scalar mesons. For convenience, we collect the results of mass, decay constant and Gegenbauer moments at 1 GeV scale as follows.

Our results indicates that the Gegenbauer moments of twist-3 DAs for scalar mesons are small. The twist-3 DAs of scalar mesons can be applied to various approaches, such as PQCD, QCDF, LCSR, to explore the inner structure of scalar mesons in the exclusive process of scalar meson production in heavy flavor hadron decay. We can also investigate the DAs of glueball component for scalar mesons to help us discover the mystery of scalar meson. Summary and Outlook
