Scalar sigma meson effects in radiative rho^0-meson decays

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

We study the radiative ρ0π+πγ\rho^0\to \pi^+\pi^-\gamma and ρ0π0π0γ\rho^0\to \pi^0\pi^0\gamma decays and we calculate their branching ratios using a phenomenological approach by adding to the amplitude calculated within the framework of chiral perturbation theory and vector meson dominance the amplitude of σ\sigma-meson intermediate state. Our results for the branching ratios are in good agreement with the experimental values.
