Constituent quark masses can be determined quite well from experimental data in several ways and one can obtain fairly accurate values for all six $m_q$. The strong quark-meson coupling $g=2\pi /\sqrt{3}$ arises from the quark-level linear…
The interference of the $\rho^0$ and $\omega$ mesons has been studied in the hadronic and leptonic decay channels, i.e., dipion and dilepton decay channels respectively, but this interference is not studied yet in the semihadronic or…
