TL;DR: In this article, a potential model for mesons is presented, which combines quark confinement and strong decay in a realistic approach, and the multichannel Schr\"odinger formalism is employed to describe a system of one or more permanently closed quark-antiquark channels in interaction with several two-meson channels.
Abstract: A potential model for mesons is presented, which combines quark confinement and strong decay in a realistic approach. The multichannel Schr\"odinger formalism is employed to describe a system of one or more permanently closed quark-antiquark channels in interaction with several two-meson channels. For the potential in the $q\overline{q}$ channels a harmonic oscillator with constant frequency is taken. As for the meson channels only Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka-rule-allowed decays into two mesons of the pseudoscalar or vector type are considered. Final-state interactions between these mesons are not yet taken into account. The communication between confined and free channels is supposed to take place via the $^{3}P_{0}$ mechanism, for which a locally approximated transition potential is derived. In order to obtain an analytic solution for the $S$ matrix, the transition potential is treated by using a multi-$\ensuremath{\delta}$-shell method. Kinematically relativistic corrections and color splitting allow a fairly successful treatment of pseudoscalar as well as vector mesons for all quark flavors. The results are confronted with the data and discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the decay of a pseudoscalar meson into a lepton pair has been estimated for the case of the neutral pion into electron and positron.
Abstract: QED radiative corrections to the decay of a pseudoscalar meson into a lepton pair have been estimated. The results are applied to the decay of the neutral pion into electron and positron. Formulas are also given for a pseudoscalar Higgs-like particle decaying to a lepton or quark pair. The results are also of relevance for QCD sum rules for the pseudoscalar current, where conflicting calculations exist in the literature.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, neutral mesons were used to test the quark-line rule for a given hadronic system and the pseudoscalar mixing angle theta/sub PS/ in agreement with theoretical estimates.
Abstract: Production of several neutral mesons in reactions involving u, d, u-bar, and d-bar quarks only can be used to test the quark-line rule for a given hadronic system. Recent data on pp-bar..-->..(two neutral pseudoscalars) are analyzed yielding restrictions on the pseudoscalar mixing angle theta/sub PS/ in agreement with theoretical estimates. It is emphasized that production of neutral mesons at LEAR can provide meaningful tests of the quark-line rule and theoretical predictions of theta/sub PS/. .AE

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the effects of some electroweak interaction models with a composite W at present energies and found that the width of the W into pairs of pseudoscalar bosons can be appreciable and may reduce its leptonic branching ratio by about 20%.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors determined the value of mixing parameter x from the transition energies between pi -mesoatomic states in nuclei from 12C to 209Bi as x=-0.32+or-0.01.
Abstract: Recently it was shown that the nuclear stability against pion condensation can be caused by interference between pseudovector and pseudoscalar pi N interactions. The authors determined the value of the mixing parameter x from the transition energies between pi -mesoatomic states in nuclei from 12C to 209Bi as x=-0.32+or-0.01. For such values of x the nuclear matter is close to pion condensation at densities 0.25n0

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, a discrepancy is observed between higher-order QED calculations and a recent experiment on the decay rate of the orthopositronium, and it is conjectured that this can be due to a possible pseudoscalar interaction of the electron-positron field.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the chiral Ward identities for the pseudoscalar mesons including the recently identified glueball state G(1440) were reanalyzed in the hope that the solution for the decay constants will shed light on the interpretation of G( 1440) as a gluonic bound state.
Abstract: We reanalyze the chiral Ward identities for the pseudoscalar mesons including the recently identified glueball state G(1440), in the hope that the solution for the decay constants will shed light on the interpretation of G(1440) as a gluonic bound state. Even when supplemented with experimental rates for (psi..-->..eta'..gamma..)/(psi..-->..eta..gamma..) and (eta'..--> gamma gamma..)/(eta..--> gamma gamma..)/(..pi../sup 0/+..gamma gamma..) we cannot obtain definite predictions for the pseudoscalar decay constants and for G..--> gamma gamma.., because the solutions are exceedingly sensitive to poorly known parameters. Classes of solutions are presented, which are functions of B(G..-->..KK-bar..pi..); a solution is only possible if B(G..-->..KK-bar..pi..) gamma gamma..) is 5 keV, although much smaller values are quite reasonable.

TL;DR: Spin is incorporated into the hadronic topological expansion scheme in this article, where spin analogs of Chan-Paton factors are introduced in a way that avoids the troubles encountered in earlier attempts.
Abstract: Spin is incorporated into the hadronic topological expansion scheme. Spin analogs of Chan-Paton factors are introduced in a way that avoids the troubles encountered in earlier attempts. Those troubles, at the meson level, were, first, the occurrence of twice the wanted number of pseudoscalar and vector mesons; second, the occurrence of parity-doublet partners of the pseudoscalar and vector mesons; and third, the occurrence of these parity-doublet partners as particles of negative metric, called ghosts. These troubles are all avoided by introducing a new topological level, called zero entropy, that lies below the ordered level. At the zero-entropy level quarks of opposite chirality are treated as distinct particles. The theory has been extended to all hadrons, and the basic particles are exactly those of the constituent-quark model, which for baryons start with the (56/sup +/) and (70/sup -/). The theory is formulated in the M-function framework, where the ''quarks'' are represented by two-component spinors, and it entails SU(6)/sub W/ symmetry of the hadronic vertices at a low level of the topological expansion.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that parity and time reversal, as basic geometric symmetry operations, are conserved in strong interactions and the neutrino plays an essential role in these considerations.
Abstract: We show that it is possible to consider parity and time reversal, as basic geometric symmetry operations, as being absolutely conserved. The observations of symmetry-violating pseudoscalar quantities can be attributed to the fact that some particles, due to their internal structure, are not eigenstates of parity or CP, and there is no reason that they should be. In terms of a model it is shown how, in spite of this, pseudoscalar terms are small in strong interactions. The neutrino plays an essential role in these considerations.

TL;DR: In this article, two inequivalent spin 1/2 baryon field operators that can be constructed directly out of three quark field operators are associated with a pair of parity partners.
Abstract: There are two inequivalent spin 1/2 baryon field operators that can be constructed directly out of three quark field operators. These are associated with a pair of parity partners. Their chiral transformation properties yield some unexpected results. In particular.U(1) axial transformations can mix the two operators. With these chiral transformation properties the spin 1/2 baryon parity partners are incorporated in an effective chiral lagrangian together with the spin 0 meson fields. The mass splitting of these parity partners is then found to be related to their coupling to the flavour singlet pseudoscalar, $$M_ - - M_ + \simeq F_\pi g_{\mathop {flavour}\limits_{singlet} N_ - N_ + } $$ The further selection rule, in the exact chiral limit, $$g_{\pi N_ + N_ - } = 0$$ is also found. Using these results, and their extension to the non-chiral limit, the enhancement of the decay ofN− intoN+ η, as opposed toN+ π, is elucidated even though it is suppressed by phase space. Two flavours is given principle consideration although three flavours is also briefly discussed.
