Vector meson-vector meson interaction and dynamically generated resonances

Abstract

Abstract. Using the local hidden gauge formalism for the vector meson-vector meson interaction within a unitary approach we find that 11 states get dynamically generated. Five of them are associated to the f 0 (1370), f 0 (1710), f 2 (1270), f ′ 2 (1525), and K * 2 (1430) resonances, by comparing the mass, width, and decay pattern of these states with those of their experimental counterparts. At the same time we predict six other states with the quantum numbers of h 1 , a 0 , b 1 , a 2 , K * 0 , and K 1 which could be tested by future experiments.
