Light scalars in semi-leptonic decays of heavy quarkonia
  We study the mechanism of production of the light scalar mesons in the $D_s^+\to\pi^+\pi^- e^+\nu$ decays: $D_s^+\to s\bar s e^+\nu\to [\sigma(600)+f_0(980)] e^+\nu\to\pi^+\pi^- e^+\nu$, and compare it with the mechanism of production of the light pseudoscalar mesons in the $D_s^+\to (\eta/\eta') e^+\nu$ decays: $D_s^+\to s\bar s e^+\nu\to (\eta/\eta')e^+\nu$. We show that the $s\bar s\to\sigma(600)$ transition is negligibly small in comparison with the $s\bar s\to f_0(980)$ one. As for the the $f_0(980)$ meson, the intensity of the $s\bar s\to f_0(980)$ transition makes near thirty percent from the intensity of the $s\bar s\to\eta_s$ ($\eta_s=s\bar s$) transition. So, the $D_s^+\to\pi^+\pi^- e^+\nu$ decay supports the previous conclusions about a dominant role of the four-quark components in the $\sigma(600)$ and $f_0(980)$ mesons.
