Scientific paper

We discuss how the lightest scalars, in particular the broad sigma resonance, can be understood as unitarized (qbar q) states within a unitarized quark model (UQM). The bare (qbar q) scalars are strongly distorted by hadronic mass shifts, and the (ubar u+ dbar d) state becomes a very broad resonance, with its pole at 470-i250 MeV. This is the sigma meson required by models for spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry. We also discuss the less well known phenomenon that with a large coupling there can appear two physical resonance poles on the second sheet although only one bare quark-antiquark state is put in. The f_0(980) and f_0(1370) resonance poles can thus be two manifestations of the same (sbar s) quark state. Both of these are dominant in the E791 Dalitz plot of D_s-> 3pi, where (sbar s) intermediate states should be dominant. Recently this light sigma has clearly been observed in D-> sigma pi-> 3pi by the E791 experiment at Fermilab. We discuss how this decay channel can be predicted in a Constituent Quark Meson Model (CQM), which incorporates heavy quark and chiral symmetries.
