Mass spectrum and strong decays of isoscalar tensor mesons.

In this work, we present a systematic study of the observed isoscalar tensor f2 states. With the detailed analysis of the mass spectrum and calculation of the f2 two-body strong decays, we extract information from their underlying structures and try to categorize them into the conventional tensor meson family [n³P2 (n = 1, 2, 3, 4) and m³F2 (m = 1, 2)]. We also give predictions for other decay modes of these tensor mesons, which are useful for further experimental investigations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
