RT Journal Article T1 Spectral-statistics properties of the experimental and theoretical light meson spectra A1 Muñoz Muñoz, Laura A1 Fernández Ramírez, César A1 Relaño Pérez, Armando A1 Retamosa Granado, Joaquín AB We present a robust analysis of the spectral fluctuations exhibited by the light meson spectrum. This analysis provides information about the degree of chaos in light mesons and may be useful to get some insight on the underlying interactions. Our analysis unveils that the statistical properties of the light meson spectrum are close, but not exactly equal, to those of chaotic systems. In addition, we have analyzed several theoretical spectra including the latest lattice QCD calculation. With a single exception, their statistical properties are close to those of a generic integrable system, and thus incompatible with the experimental spectrum.
