Quark Structure of Pseudoscalar Mesons
نویسنده
چکیده
I review to which extent the properties of pseudoscalar mesons can be understood in terms of the underlying quark (and eventually gluon) structure. Special emphasis is put on the progress in our understanding of η-η mixing. Process-independent mixing parameters are defined, and relations between different bases and conventions are studied. Both, the low-energy description in the framework of Chiral Perturbation Theory and the high-energy application in terms of light-cone wave functions for partonic Fock states, are considered. A thorough discussion of theoretical and phenomenological consequences of the mixing approach will be given. Finally, I will discuss mixing with other states (π, ηc, . . . ).

Pseudoscalar mesons and their radial excitations from the Effective Chiral Lagrangian
Effective Chiral Lagrangian is derived from QCD in the framework of Field Correlator Method. It contains the effects of both confinement and chiral symmetry breaking due to a special structure of the resulting quark mass operator. It is shown that this Lagrangian describes light pseudoscalar mesons, and Gell-Mann-OakesRenner relations for pions, eta and K mesons are reproduced. Spectrum of radi...
متن کاملThe Second Moment of the Structure Function for Pseudoscalar Mesons in QCD Sum Rules
We calculate the values of the second moment M s 2 of the flavorsinglet structure function F s 2 for the pion and the kaon in QCD sum rules, and investigate how the results depend on their flavor structure (quark contents). Our calculations give similar values of M s 2 for these two mesons, because of cancellation among several non-small factors. We emphasize that decay constants, meson masses ...
متن کاملThe light-by-light contribution to the muon (g-2) from lightest pseudoscalar and scalar mesons within nonlocal chiral quark model
The light-by-light contribution from the lightest neutral pseudoscalar and scalar mesons to the anomalous magnetic moment of muon is calculated in the framework of the nonlocal SU(3) × SU(3) quark model. The model is based on chirally symmetric four-quark interaction of the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio type and Kobayashi–Maskawa– ’t Hooft UA(1) breaking six-quark interaction. Full kinematic dependence of...
متن کاملPhenomenology of Spin Zero Mesons and Glueballs
We discuss the phenomenology of scalar and pseudoscalar mesons, emphasizing those which do not carry manifest flavor quantum numbers. Many of the properties of these mesons are still not fully understood. Some of them probably do not have the usual two-quark (quark-antiquark) structure, but may be mixed with glueball states or other exotics. We construct or discuss simple models for these meson...
متن کاملDecay Constants and Semileptonic Form Factors of Pseudoscalar Mesons
A relativistic constituent quark model is adopted to give an unified description of the leptonic and semileptonic decays of pseudoscalar mesons (π, K, D, Ds, B, Bs). The calculated leptonic decay constants and form factors are found to be in good agreement with available experimental data and the results of other approaches. Eventually, the model is found to reproduce the scaling behaviours of ...
