Abstract

In a model of isospin symmetry breaking we obtain the (ee+ππ+e^{-} e^{+} \rightarrow \pi^{-} \pi^{+}) amplitude QQ and the isospin I=0I=0 and I=1I=1 relative phase ψ\psi at the ϕ(1020)\phi (1020) resonance in aproximate agreement with experiment. The model predicts Γ(ϕωπ0)4104  \mboxMeV\Gamma(\phi \rightarrow \omega \pi^{0}) \approx 4 \cdot 10^{-4} \;\mbox{MeV}. We have also obtained Γ(ϕηγ)=5.2104  \mboxMeV\Gamma (\phi \rightarrow \eta' \gamma)=5.2 \cdot 10^{-4} \;\mbox{MeV}. Measuring this partial width would strongly constrain η\eta-η\eta' mixing. The branching ratios BRBR of the isospin violating decays ρ+π+η\rho^{+} \rightarrow \pi^{+} \eta and ηρ±π\eta' \rightarrow \rho^{\pm} \pi^{\mp} are predicted to be BR(ρ+π+η)=3105BR(\rho^{+} \rightarrow \pi^{+} \eta)=3 \cdot 10^{-5} and BR(ηρ±π)=4103BR(\eta' \rightarrow \rho^{\pm} \pi^{\mp})=4 \cdot 10^{-3}, respectively, leading to BR[ϕρ±π(π±η)π(π±γγ)π]=106BR[\phi \rightarrow \rho^{\pm} \pi^{\mp} \rightarrow (\pi^{\pm} \eta)\pi^{\mp} \rightarrow (\pi^{\pm} \gamma \gamma)\pi^{\mp}]=10^{-6} and BR[ϕηγ(ρ±π)γ]=2106BR[\phi \rightarrow \eta' \gamma \rightarrow (\rho^{\pm} \pi^{\mp})\gamma]=2\cdot 10^{-6}.
