Abstract

The s-wave pion scattering amplitude is analysed with the aim to clarify the mass spectrum of scalar mesons and to find evidence of lightest glueball. The S-matrix ππ and K¯K coupled channel formalism is used. The existence of scalar mesons S* and ɛ is implied by the data. The production ππ → K¯K and the elastic K¯K→K¯K coupled amplitudes are predicted from the ππ →ππ scattering data. The couplings c f S* to ππ and K¯K states are determined.
