We reconcile the 1/N_c expansion with the observed eta-eta' mass spectrum. The chiral corrections introduced for that purpose are natural and consistent with the octet-singlet mixing angle theta=-(22\pm 1)^{\circ} extracted from…
We present a calculation of the $\eta$-$\eta'$ mixing in the framework of large-$N_c$ chiral perturbation theory. A general expression for the $\eta$-$\eta'$ mixing at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) is derived, including…
We investigate eta-eta' mixing in infrared regularized U(3) chiral perturbation theory by calculating the eta and eta' masses up to one-loop order. From this analysis it becomes obvious that even at leading order eta-eta' mixing does not…
A systematic study of the $\eta$-$\eta'$ mixing in Large-$N_c$ chiral perturbation theory is presented with special emphasis on the role of the next-to-next-to-leading-order contributions in the combined momentum, quark-mass, and $1/N_c$…
Using chiral perturbation theory and the large-$N_c$ expansion, we obtain expressions for the $\eta'$ mass and $\eta - \eta'$ mixing in terms of low-energy chiral Lagrangian parameters. This is accomplished through an intermediate step of…
We determine the $\eta-\eta'$ mixing angle via a procedure relatively independent of theoretical assumptions by simultaneously fitting $\eta- eta'$ reactions involving the anomaly--$\eta,\eta'\to\gamma\gamma, \pi^+\pi^-\gamma$. We extract…
We obtain explicit expressions for the \eta and \eta' masses and decay constants using U_L(3) x U_R(3) chiral perturbation theory at next-to-leading order in a combined expansion in p^2 and 1/Nc. A numerical fit of the parameters appearing…
Although eta-eta' mixing is qualitatively well understood as a consequence of the U(1)_A anomaly in QCD together with a broken SU(3) flavor symmetry, until recently the values of decay and mixing parameters of the eta and eta' were only…
We present a calculation of the decays $\eta^{(')}\to\pi^+\pi^-\gamma^{(\ast)}$ at the one-loop level up to and including next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in large-$N_c$ chiral perturbation theory. The numerical evaluation of the…
The hadronic decays eta' -> eta pi pi are studied in the frameworks of large-Nc Chiral Perturbation Theory, at lowest and next-to-leading orders, and Resonance Chiral Theory in the leading 1/Nc approximation. Higher order effects such as…
We discuss $\pi^0$ -$\eta$ mixing and its implication for $\epsilon'/ \epsilon$ to next-to-leading order in the low-energy expansion. The big effect due to $\eta$-$\eta'$ mixing is shown to be largely cancelled by other contributions…
We analyze the $\gamma p \to \eta p$ process from threshold up to 1.2 GeV, employing an effective Lagrangian approach that allows for a mixing of eta couplings of pseudoscalar and pseudovector nature. The mixing ratio of the couplings may…
A two mixing angle description of the pseudoscalar decay constants associated to the $\eta$-$\eta^\prime$ system is used to parametrize the theoretical amplitudes of the radiative decays $(\eta,\eta^\prime)\to\gamma\gamma$ and the coupling…
The approach to the eta'-eta complex employing chirally well-behaved quark-antiquark bound states and incorporating the non-Abelian axial anomaly of QCD through the generalization of the Witten-Veneziano relation, is extended to finite…
We propose a method for implementing the large-Nc, large-Nf limit of QCD at the effective Lagrangian level. Depending on the value of the ratio Nf/Nc, different patterns of chiral symmetry breaking can arise, leading in particular to…
We include in a systematic way the eta' in baryon chiral perturbation theory. The most general relativistic effective Lagrangian describing the interaction of the lowest lying baryon octet with the Goldstone boson octet and the eta' is…
The composition of the eta and eta' mesons has long been a source of discussion and is of current interest with new experimental results appearing. We investigate what can be learnt from a number of different processes: V to P gamma and P…
We investigate what can be learnt about the $\eta$ -$\eta'$ mixing by means of dispersive representation of axial anomaly. We show that our method leads to the strong bounds for the $\eta-\eta'$ mixing angle: $\theta = -15.3^o \pm 1^o$.…
The tetra-maximal neutrino mixing pattern predicts a relatively large reactor mixing angle theta_13 \approx 8.4^\circ, which is in good agreement with the latest best-fit value theta_13 = 9^\circ. However, its prediction for theta_12…
We study the decay $\eta'\to\eta\pi\pi$ in two different chiral invariant approaches: Large-$N_c$ Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT) and Large-$N_c$ Resonance Chiral Theory (RChT). We analyze the Dalitz plot and the invariant mass spectra.…
