Towards resolution of the scalar meson nonet enigma

Abstract

By the application of a linear mass spectrum to a composite system of both the pseudoscalar and scalar meson nonets, we find three mass relations for the masses of the scalar states which suggest the $q\bar{q}$ assignment for the scalar meson nonet: $a_0(1320),$ $K_0^{\ast }(1430),$ $f_0(1500),$ $f_0^{\prime }(980).$
