$\eta$ and $\eta'$ decays and what can we learn from them?

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v2 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

In this talk a short overview of η\eta and η\eta' decays is given with an emphasis on what can be learned for the strong interaction from them. The talk consists of a short introduction to ChPT, a discussion of η3π\eta\to3\pi beyond p4p^4 and some of the physics involved in ηηππ,3π\eta'\to\eta\pi\pi,3\pi as well as an overview of anomalous processes.
