Lattice QCD study of the scalar mesons a0(1450) and sigma(600)
We study the a{sub 0} and {sigma} mesons with the overlap fermion in the chiral regime with the pion mass as low as 182 MeV in the quenched approximation. After the {eta} N ghost states are separated, we find that the a{sub 0} mass with q{bar q} interpolation field to be almost independent of the quark mass in the region below the strange quark mass. The chirally extrapolated results are consistent with a{sub 0}(1450) being the u{bar d} meson and K{sub 0}*(1430) being the u {bar s} meson. We also calculate the scalar mesonium with a tetraquark interpolation field. In addition to the two pion scattering states, we found a state at {approx} 550 MeV. Through the study of volume dependence, we confirm that this state is a one-particle state, in contrast to the two-pion scattering states. This suggests that the observed state is a tetraquark mesonium which is quite possibly the {sigma}(600) meson.
