$\eta-\eta^{\prime}$ Mixing Angle from Vector Meson Radiative Decays
Abstract
The octet-singlet mixing mass term could have a derivative term as found in recent analysis of the system. This term gives rise to an additional momentum-dependent pole contribution which is suppressed by a factor for relative to the amplitude. The processes with meson can then be described, to a good approximation, by the momentum-independent mixing mass term which gives rise to a new mixing angle , like the old mixing angle used in the past, but a momentum-dependent mixing term , like in the two-angle mixing scheme used in the parametrization of the pseudo-scalar meson decay constants in the current literature, is needed to describe the amplitudes with . In this paper, we obtain sum rules relating and to the physical vector meson radiative decays with and , as done in our previous work for meson two-photon decay, and with nonet symmetry for the amplitude, we obtain a mixing angle , from and decays, for , , , and for , , . A larger value of for is obtained directly from the nonet symmetry expression for the amplitude. This indicates that more precise vector meson radiative decay measured branching ratios and higher order SU(3) breaking effects could bring these values for closer and allows a better determination of .
