Quark loop model of radiative meson decays

Radiative meson decays are computed from quark loop anomalies, taking into account the SU(3) splitting of the quark masses. Predicted rates for ?→ηγ,K ^*→Kγ, and η→ππγ are brought into satisfactory agreement with experiment. Formulas are given for the radiative decay rates of charmed las are given for the radiative decay rates of charmed mesons, and a mechanism suggested for suppression of the radiative decays of mesons containing a charmed quark.     

The evaluation of the branching ratios of the decays φ(1020)→2π<Superscript>+</Superscript>2π<Superscript>−</Superscript>π<Superscript>0</Superscript>, π<Superscript>+</Superscript>π<Superscript>−</Superscript>3π<Superscript>0</Superscript>

Combining the Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka rule in the decay φ→ρπ→π⁺π^?π⁰ with the ρ→4π decay amplitudes, we calculate the φ→2π⁺2π^?π⁰ and φ→π⁺π^?3π⁰ ones. The partial widths of the above φ decays are evaluated, and the excitation curves in e⁺e^? annihilation are obtained, assuming reasonable particular relations among the parameters characterizing the anomalous terms of the HLS Lagrangian. The evaluated branching ratios B_φ→π⁺_π^?_3π⁰ ≈ 2 × 10^?7 and B_φ→2π⁺_2π^?_π⁰ ≈ 7 × 10^?7 are such that, with the luminosity L=500 pb^?1 attained at DAΦNE φ factory, one may already possess about 1685 events of the decays φ→5π.     

Radiative decays of radially excited pseudoscalar mesons in the extended Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model

In the extended NJL model the radiative decay widths of the radially excited states of the pseudo-scalar π, η, and η′ mesons are calculated. The predictions for the decay widths of the processes π(1300) → (ρ⁰, ω)γ, η(1295) → (ρ⁰, ω, φ)γ, and η(1475) → (ρ⁰, ω, φ)γ are given. Nowadays, there are no solid experimental data for these processes. The comparison of the results obtained in the framework of the standard and the extended NJL models for decays of the ground states of mesons is given. It is shown that these calculations correspond to each other and are also in satisfactory agreement with experimental data. This allows one to expect that the extended NJL can give reliable predictions for the excited states of mesons.     

Pionic and radiative decays of vector mesons in the chiral bag model

It is shown that a mechanism, within the framework of the cloudy bag model, analogous to that fore ⁺ e ^?→2ψ in QED accounts qualitatively for the decays ?→2π, ω→πψ and ?→πψ with a bag radii 0.8–1.0 fm, and averaged momenta for decay particles. For the radiative decays, the process identical to that in the vector-dominance model gives about 60% of the total calculated width. It also explains small decay widths previously calculated, using the single quark transition process.     

Photon production in heavy-ion collisions at SPS energies

Single photon spectra in heavy-ion collisions at SPS energies are studied in the relativistic transport model that incorporates self-consistently the change of hadron masses in dense matter. We separate the total photon spectrum into “background” arising from the radiative decays of π⁰ and η mesons, and the “thermal” one from other sources. For the latter we include contributions from radiative decays of ρ, ω, η′, and a₁, radiative decays of baryon resonances, as well as two-body processes such as ππ → ργ and πρ → πγ. It is found that more than 95% of all photons come from the decays of π⁰ and η mesons, while the thermal photons account for less than 5% of the total photon yield. The thermal photon spectra in our calculations with either free or in-medium meson masses do not exceed the upper bound set by the experimental measurement of the WA80 Collaboration.     

Gluon effects and nonet mixing in the current quark picture

The effects on the meson mass spectrum of gluon interactions, and in particular of quark annihilation diagrams, are investigated in the current quark framework. The resulting mixing scheme leads to mixing angles θp ? ?13° and θ_V ? ? 52° for the pseudoscalar and vector nonets respectively, in moderate agreement with present data on radiative decays. For virtual electromagnetic processes additional gluon diagrams play a role. In η → 3π the net effect is to almost double the current algebra prediction, while in ω → 2π the ω → ?⁰ transition amplitude is correctly predicted in both sign and magnitude. The relation between the Hamiltonian approach and the U(1) problem, as formulated in terms of axial divergences, is briefly discussed.     

Isospin violation in mixing and decays of <Emphasis Type="Italic">ρ</Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">ω</Emphasis> mesons

The influence of isospin-violating (ρ⁰, ω) mixing is discussed for any pair of decays of ρ⁰, ω into the same final state. It is demonstrated, in analogy to the CP violation in neutral kaon decays, that isospin violation can manifest itself in various forms: direct violation in amplitudes and/or violation due to mixing. In addition to the known decays (ρ⁰, ω) → π⁺π^? and (ρ⁰, ω) → π⁰γ, the pair of decays to e⁺e^? and the whole set of radiative decays with participation of ρ⁰, ω (in initial or final states) are also shown to be useful and promising for studies. Existing data on these decays agree with the universal character of the mixing parameter and indirectly support enhancement of ρ⁰ → π⁰γ in respect to ρ^± → π^±γ. Future precise measurements will allow one to separate different forms of isospin violation and elucidate their mechanisms.     

First measurement of the Λ→nγ branching ratio

In an experiment performed at the CERN-SPS charged hyperon beam, we have observed the radiative decay Λ→nγ, using well identified Λ from the decays of Ο^? of 116 GeV/c momentum. Neutrons and photons from the Λ decays were observed in liquid argon and lead glass detectors. From a sample of 31 candidates, containing an estimated background of 7.3 events, the decay branching ratio was measured to be Γ(Λ→nγ)/Γ(Λ→all)=(1.02±0.33)×10^?3.
