Dynamical study of light scalar mesons below 1GeV in a flux-tube model

The light scalar mesons below 1GeV configured as tetraquark systems are studied in the framework of the flux-tube model. Comparative studies indicate that a multi-body confinement,instead of the additive two-body confinement, should be used in a multiquark system.The σ and κ mesons could be well accommodated in the diquark-antidiquark tetraquark picture, and could be colour-confinement resonances. The a0（980） and fo（980） mesons are not described as KK molecular states and ns diquark-antidiquark states.However, the mass of the first radial excited state of the diquark-antidiquark state, nn is 1019 MeV,is close to the experimental data of the fo （980）.
