Flavour symmetry of mesonic decay couplings

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v3

Abstract

We present flavour-symmetric results for the couplings of quark-antiquark systems to meson-meson channels in the harmonic-oscillator expansion. We tabulate their values for all possible open and closed decay channels of pseudo-scalar, vector and scalar mesons. We compare the predictions of a model that employs these flavour-symmetric couplings, both with the results of a model which uses explicitly flavour-dependent couplings, and with experiment.
