Mass spectrum and strong decays of isoscalar tensor mesons

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