Description

We derive a new parametrization for the scalar pion form factors that allows us to analyze data over a large energy range via the inclusion of resonances, and at the same time to ensure consistency with the high-accuracy dispersive representations available at low energies. As an application the formalism is used to extract resonance properties of excited scalar mesons from data for anti B0s → J/ψππ. In particular we find for the pole positions of f0(1500) and f0(2020) 1465 ± 18 - i(50 ± 9) MeV and 1910 ± 50 - i(199 ± 40) MeV, respectively. In addition, from their residues we calculate the respective branching ratios into ππ to be (58 ± 31)% and (1.3 ± 1.8)%. (orig.)
