Dynamical study of the light scalar mesons below 1 GeV in a flux-tube model
The light scalar mesons below 1 GeV as tetraquark states are studied in the framework of the flux-tube model, the multi-body confinement instead of the additive two-body confinement is used. From the calculated results, we find that the light scalar mesons, $σ$, $κ$ could be well accommodated in the diquark-antidiquark tetraquark picture in the flux-tube model and they could be color confinement resonances. The mass of the first radial excited state of $[ud][\bar{u}\bar{d}]$ is 1019 MeV, which is close to the mass of $f_0(980)$. Whereas $a_0(980)$ can not be fitted in this interpretation.
