[en] Meson production near threshold is a spectroscopic tool in the studies of meson structure. Some interesting features of meson production near threshold in few body reactions are emphasized. In particular, the region of KK-bar thresholds studied in pd→3He X at LNS could be an excellent tool to bring new information about the a0 (983) and f0 (975) meson structure dilemma.
