Abstract

Attention is paid to the production mechanisms of light scalars that reveal their nature. We reveal the chiral shielding of the \sigma(600) meson. We show that the kaon loop mechanism of the \phi radiative decays, ratified by experiment, points to the four-quark nature of light scalars. We show also that the light scalars are produced in the two photon collisions via four-quark transitions in contrast to the classic P wave tensor q\bar q mesons that are produced via two-quark transitions $\gamma\gamma\to q\bar q$. The history of spontaneous breaking of symmetry in quantum physics is discussed in Appendix.
