Abstract

A value for the η\eta-η\eta^\prime mixing angle is extracted from the data on VPγVP\gamma transitions using simple quark-model ideas. The set of data covers {\it all} possible radiative transitions between the pseudoscalar and vector meson nonets. Two main ingredients of the model are the introduction of flavour-dependent overlaps for the various qqˉq\bar{q} wave functions and the use of the quark-flavour basis to describe the η\eta-η\eta^\prime system. In this basis the mixing angle is found to be ϕP=(37.7±2.4)\phi_P=(37.7\pm 2.4)^\circ.
