Abstract: A unitarized non-relativistic meson model which is successful for the description of the heavy and light vector and pseudo-scalar mesons yields in its extension to the scalar mesons for the same model parameters a complete nonet below 1 GeV. In the unitarization scheme real and virtual meson meson decay channels are coupled to the quark antiquark confinement channels. The flavor dependent harmonic oscillator confining potential itself has bound states epsilon(1.3 GeV), S(1.5 GeV), delta(1.3 GeV), kappa(1.4 GeV), similar to the results of other bound state qqbar models. However, the full coupled channel equations show poles at epsilon(0.5 GeV), S(0.99 GeV), delta(0.97 GeV), kappa(0.73 GeV). Not only these pole positions can be calculated in our model also cross sections and phase shifts in the meson scattering channels which are in reasonable agreement with the available data for pion-pion, pion-eta and kaon-pion S-wave scattering.
