VMD , the WZW Lagrangian and ChPT : The Third Mixing Angle
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that the Hidden Local Symmetry Model, supplemented with well-known procedures for breaking flavor SU(3) and nonet symmetry, provides all the information contained in the standard Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT) Lagrangian L (0) + L (1). This allows to rely on radiative decays of light mesons (V P γ and P γγ) in order to extract some numerical information of relevance to ChPT: a value for Λ 1 = 0.20 ± 0.04, a quark mass ratio of 21.2 ± 2.4, and a negligible departure from the Gell-Mann–Okubo mass formula. The mixing angles are θ 8 = −20.40 • ±0.96 • and θ 0 = −0.05 • ±0.99 •. We also give the values of all decay constants. It is shown that the common mixing pattern with one mixing angle θ P is actually quite appropriate and algebraically related to the η/η mixing pattern presently preferred by the ChPT community. For instance the traditional θ P is functionally related to the ChPT θ 8 and fulfills θ P θ 8 /2. The vanishing of θ 0 , supported by all data on radiative decays, gives a novel relation between mixing angles and the violation of nonet symmetry in the pseudoscalar sector. Finally, it is shown that the interplay of nonet symmetry breaking through U(3) → SU(3)× U(1) satisfies all requirements of the physics of radiative decays without any need for additional glueballs.

متن کاملChiral–loop and Vector–meson Contributions to Η → Ππγγ Decays
The process η → π 0 π 0 γγ is discussed in Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT). Special attention is devoted to one-loop corrections, η-η ′ mixing effects and vector-meson dominance of ChPT counter-terms. The less interesting η → π + π − γγ transition is briefly discussed too. The rare decay modes η → π 0 π 0 γγ and η → π + π − γγ have been recently discussed by several authors in the context of ...
متن کاملDetermination of the Anomalous Chiral Coefficients of order p 6
Symmetries affected by the anomaly do not survive quantization and cannot be understood classically. They are of fundamental importance and offer an opportunity of expanding the theoretical framework. We examine the theory of the anomalous sector, starting from lowest order Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT), leading up to the construction of the recently developed Lagrangian of O ( p ) describi...
متن کاملElectromagnetic couplings of the ChPT Lagrangian from the perturbative chiral quark model
We apply the perturbative chiral quark model (PCQM) to the study of the low-energy πN interaction. Using an effective chiral Lagrangian we reproduce the Weinberg-Tomozawa result for the S-wave πN scattering lengths. After inclusion of the photon field we give predictions for the electromagnetic O(p2) low-energy couplings (LECs) of the ChPT effective Lagrangian that define the electromagnetic ma...
متن کاملAn Effective Approach to VMD at One Loop Order and the Departures from Ideal Mixing for Vector Mesons
We examine the mechanisms producing departures from ideal mixing for vector mesons within the context of the Hidden Local Symmetry (HLS) model. We show that kaon loop transitions between the ideal combinations of the ω and φ mesons necessitate a field transformation in order to get the mass eigenstates. It is shown that this transformation is close to a rotation for processes involving, like me...
