چکیده
We discuss the consistency of the traditional vector meson dominance (VMD) model for photons coupling to matter, with the vanishing of vector meson-meson and meson-photon mixing self-energies at q 2 = 0. This vanishing of vector mixing has been demonstrated in the context of rho-omega mixing for a large class of effective theories. As a further constraint on such models, we here apply them to a study of photon-meson mixing and VMD. As an example we compare the predicted momentum dependence of one such model with a momentum-dependent version of VMD discussed by Sakurai in the 1960's. We find that it produces a result which is consistent with the traditional VMD phenomenology. We conclude that comparison with VMD phenomenology can provide a useful constraint on such models.

The Okamoto - Nolen - Schiffer anomaly without ρ - ω mixing
We examine the effect of isospin-violating meson-nucleon coupling constants and meson mixing on the binding-energy differences of mirror nuclei using a relativistic mean-field approximation to the Walecka model. We find no important binding-energy corrections from the vector-meson sector; our model possesses no contribution from ρ-ω mixing at Q 2 = 0, and isospin violation in the vector-meson–n...
متن کاملIsospin-violating meson-nucleon vertices as an alternate mechanism of charge-symmetry breaking.
We compute isospin-violating meson-nucleon coupling constants and their consequent charge-symmetry-breaking nucleon-nucleon potentials. The couplings result from evaluating matrix elements of quark currents between nucleon states in a nonrelativistic constituent quark model; the isospin violations arise from the difference in the up and down constituent quark masses. We find, in particular, tha...
متن کاملTwo Model-Independent Results for the Momentum Dependence of ρ-ω Mixing ADP-95-35/T189 nucl-th/9506024
Two model-independent results on the momentum-dependence of ρ-ω mixing are described. First, an explicit choice of interpolating fields for the vector mesons is displayed for which both the mixing in the propagator and the isospin-breaking at the nucleon-vector meson vertices (and hence also the one-vector-meson-exchange contribution to NN charge symmetry breaking) vanish identically at q2 = 0....

Simple quark models for the low lying vector mesons suggest a mixing between the u– and d–flavors and a violation of the isospin symmetry for the ρ − ω system much stronger than observed. It is shown that the chiral dynamics, especially the QCD anomaly, is responsible for a restoration of the isospin symmetry in the ρ − ω system. We should like to report on an interesting phenomenon , thus far ...
