Light scalars as tetraquarks: decays and mixing with quarkonia

Francesco Giacosa

Published 2007-11-20, updated 2007-11-25Version 2

The tetraquark assignement for light scalar states below 1 GeV is discussed on the light of strong decays. The next-to-leading order in the large-N expansion for the strong decays is considered. Mixing with quarkonia states above 1 GeV is investigated within a chiral approach and the inclusion of finite-width effects is taken into account.
