As a consequence of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking the pion Bethe-Salpeter amplitude necessarily contains terms proportional to gamma_5 gamma.P and gamma_5 gamma.k, where k is the relative and P the total momentum of the constituents.…
The $\phi \to \omega \pi^0$ decay is studied using the method of phenomenological chiral Lagrangians. It is shown that the weak hadronic current between $\omega$-and $\pi^0$ -mesons is equal to zero and this decay channel proceeds only due…
We discuss radiative transitions of a charged kaon to a pion and two photons. In particular, we have a closer look at radiative corrections for the $K^+\to\pi^+\ell^+\ell^-$ decays and present the branching ratio of the…
We present a two-flavour linear sigma model with global chiral symmetry and vector and axial-vector mesons. We calculate pion-pion scattering lengths and the decay widths of scalar, vector, and axial-vector mesons. It is demonstrated that…
A partial-wave analysis is performed on the decay $J/\psi\to\gamma\pi^{0}\pi^{0}\pi^{0}$ within the $\pi^{0}\pi^{0}\pi^{0}$ invariant-mass region below 1.6 GeV$/c^{2}$, using $(10.09~\pm~0.04)\times10^{9} ~J/\psi$ events collected with the…
A microscopic model for the $N\bar N\to\pi\pi$ process is presented in the meson exchange framework, which in the pseudophysical region agrees with available quasiempirical information. The scalar ($\sigma$) and vector ($\rho$) piece of…
We discuss ${\gamma}{\gamma}\to {\pi}{\pi}$ reactions, starting from the two-pion threshold up to about $\sqrt{s_{{\gamma}{\gamma}}}$ = 6 GeV. We include the dipion continuum due to pion exchange (for ${\pi}^+{\pi}^-$) and ${\rho}^\pm$…
We take an approach to the Lambda non-mesonic weak decay in nuclei based on the exchange of mesons. The one pion and one kaon exchange are considered, together with the exchange of two pions, either correlated, leading to an important…
We study the radiative decay into $\gamma$ and a baryon of the SU(3) decuplet of ten resonances that are dynamically generated from the interaction of vector mesons with baryons of the decuplet. We obtain quite different partial decay…
In order to assess the relevance of chiral dynamics in the scalar sector we address two recent problems: radiative decay of the $\phi$, for which there are quite recent data from Frascati, and the modification of the $\sigma$ properties in…
The process e^+e^-\to\pi^0\gamma in the energy range \sqrt{s}=0.60-1.06 GeV was studied at VEPP-2M collider with SND detector using 14 pb^{-1} of integrated luminosity. Data were analyzed in the framework of the vector meson dominance…
We make a theoretical study of the charge and forward-backward pion asymmetries in the e+e- --> pi+ pi- gamma process on and off the phi resonance energy. These observables are rather sensitive to the inner details of the theoretical models…
The KLOE measurement of phi radiative decays and of the ratio Gamma(Ks->pi+pi-(gamma))/Gamma(Ks->pi0pi0) are discussed. The first measurement aims at understanding the real nature of the scalar mesons a0 and f0, whose possible compositions…
At the Frascati phi-factory DAPHNE the pion formfactor is measured by means of the 'radiative return', i.e. by using events in which one of the collider electrons (positrons) has radiated an initial state radiation photon, lowering in such…
We reexamine radiative corrections to $\pi_{l2}$ and $K_{l2}$ decays. We perform a matching calculation, including vector and axial vector resonances as explicit degrees of freedom in the long distance part. By considering the dependence on…
This report describes the transitions pion -> meson_1 + meson_2 and also pion -> multi-pion for high energy pions interacting with target nuclei (Z,A). The physics interests are: A) Nuclear inelastic coherent diffraction cross sections for…
We present an approach to study the decay modes of the $J/\psi$ into a vector meson and a tensor meson, taking into account the nature of the $f_2(1270)$, $f'_2(1525)$, $\bar{K}^{* 0}_2(1430)$ resonances as dynamically generated states from…
We study the properties of axial vector mesons a1 and b1 as relativistic S-wave states which are predicted in the U~(12)-scheme, through the analyses of their radiative and pionic decays. Specifically, partial widths of the strong a1 (b1)…
The $f_0$ mesons are studied in a combined analysis of data on the isoscalar S-wave processes $\pi\pi\to\pi\pi,K\overline{K},\eta\eta$ and on decays $J/\psi\to\phi(\pi\pi, K\overline{K})$, $\psi(2S)\to J/\psi(\pi\pi)$, and…
We study the vector and axial-vector form factors of radiative kaon decay within the framework of the gauged nonlocal effective chiral action from the instanton vacuum, focusing on the effects of flavor SU(3) symmetry breaking. The general…
