Within such a scheme, the N(C) dependence of sigma and rho masses and widths is discussed. Robust conclusions are drawn in the case of the rho resonance, confirming that it is a stable meson in the limit of a large number of QCD colors, N(C). Less definitive conclusions are reached in the scalar-isoscalar sector. With the present quality of data, we cannot firmly conclude whether or not the N(C) = 3 f(0)(600) resonance completely disappears at large N(C) or if it has a subdominant component in its structure, which would become dominant for a number of quark colors sufficiently large.", optnote="WOS:000296890300012", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=799), last updated on Thu, 01 Dec 2011 15:47:06 +0000", issn="1550-7998", doi="10.1103/PhysRevD.84.096002", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1107.3247", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.84.096002", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1107.3247", language="English" }
