Study of scalar mesons in chiral Lagrangian frameworks
  We review two approaches to studying pseudoscalar meson-meson scattering amplitudes to beyond 1 GeV using non-linear and linear chiral Lagrangians. These approaches use two different unitarisation techniques - a generalised Breit Wigner prescription and K-matrix unitarization respectively. We also report some preliminary findings on K-matrix unitarisation of the I=J=0 pion-pion scattering amplitude in the non-linear chiral Lagrangian approach and make some remarks about the light scalar mesons.
