SU(3) Clebsch-Gordan coefficients at large $N_c$

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-12-09 v2

Abstract

It is argued that several papers where SU(3) Clebsch-Gordan coefficients were calculated in order to describe properties of hadronic systems are, up to a phase convention, particular cases of analytic formulae derived by Hecht in 1965 in the context of nuclear physics. This is valid for irreducible representations with multiplicity one in the corresponding Clebsch-Gordan series. For multiplicity two, Hecht has proposed an alternative which can provide correct 1/Nc1/N_c sub-leading orders in large NcN_c studies.
