Abstract: (arXiv)
In this work, we present a systematic study of the observed isoscalar tensor f2f_2 states. With the detailed analysis of the mass spectrum and calculation of the f2f_2 two-body strong decays, we extract information of their underly structures, and try to categorize them into the conventional tensor meson family (n3P2n^{3}P_{2} (n=1,2,3,4)(n=1,2,3,4) and m3F2m^{3}F_{2} (m=1,2m=1,2)). We also give predictions for other decay modes of these tensor mesons, which are useful for further experimental investigations.
