Chiral Dynamics of scalar mesons: radiative $ϕ$ decay and $σ$ in the medium through $π^0 π^0$ nuclear photoproduction

arXiv:nucl-th/0307034 · doi:10.1063/1.1632190

Abstract

In order to assess the relevance of chiral dynamics in the scalar sector we address two recent problems: radiative decay of the $ϕ$, for which there are quite recent data from Frascati, and the modification of the $σ$ properties in the nuclear medium seen through the $π^0 π^0$ photoproduction in nuclei.
