Meson PVV Interactions are determined by Quark Loops

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

We show that all abnormal parity three-body meson interactions can be adequately described by quark loops, evaluated at zero external momentum, with couplings determined by U(Nf)U(N_f) symmetry. We focus primarily on radiative meson decays which involve one pseudoscalar. The agreement with experiment for non-rare decays is surprisingly good and requires very few parameters, namely the coupling constants gπqqg_{\pi qq} and gρqqg_{\rho qq} and some mixing angles. This agreement extends to some three-body decays that are dominated by pion pairs in a P-wave state.
