We study the properties of the light pseudoscalar mesons in a three flavor chiral quark model with nonlocal separable interactions. We concentrate on the evaluation of meson masses and decay constants, considering both the cases of Gaussian…

Lattice QCD allows a first-principles study of QCD with the freedom to vary the number and masses of the quarks. I present results on the flavour singlet correlations (this illuminates OZI violating effects) for mesons. Concentrating on the…

Patterns of chiral symmetry violation and tests of the conservation of the fundamental C, P and CP symmetries are key physics issues in studies of the pi0, eta and eta' meson decays. These tests include searches for rare or forbidden decays…

The hadronic decays eta, eta-prime -> 3 pi and eta-prime -> eta pi pi are investigated within the framework of U(3) chiral effective field theory in combination with a relativistic coupled-channels approach. Final state interactions are…

We discuss the effect of $\eta$--$\eta'$ mixing and of axial current anomalies on various decay processes. We describe the 2$\gamma$ decays of $\eta$ and $\eta'$, the radiative decays of low-lying vector mesons as well as the decays…

An introduction to the physics of eta and eta' meson decays is given. A historical account of the discovery of the mesons is presented. It is followed by an overview and classification of the common decay modes and the relevance of the…

We study the mixing of the QCD/QCD-like axion and light-flavor mesons $\pi^0, \eta, \eta'$ within the framework of $U(3)$ chiral perturbation theory up to next-to-leading order in this work. The axion-meson mixing formulas are calculated…

Within the framework of the $U(3)$ chiral perturbation theory, we revisit the masses, decay constants and the mixing parameters of the light pseudoscalar mesons $\pi, K, \eta$ and $\eta'$. The low energy constants up to…

Involving of elastic rescattering and annihilation of quark-antiquark pairs in a final state allows us to explain a dependence of ratio for cross sections of $\eta'$ and $\eta$ mesons versus transfer momentum in charge exchange reactions.…

We present results for the $\eta$ and $\eta^\prime$ masses and their four independent decay constants at the physical point as well as their anomalous gluonic matrix elements $a_{\eta^{(\prime)}}$. The chiral and continuum limit…

The key assumption used recently by Feldmann, Kroll and Stich [Phys.Rev. D58, 114006 (1998)] that the decay constants f_\eta, and f_\eta ' of the respective eta and eta ' mesons in the quark flavor basis follow the pattern of strange and…

The combined absence of physical realizations of the UA(1) symmetry possessed by the classical QCD action in the chiral limit, and of an isoscalar Goldstone boson associated with its spontaneous breakdown, has been dubbed the UA(1) problem.…

Using flavor basis we relate flavor axial anomalies to the mass matrix of pseudoscalar isoscalar fields in the context of a Linear Sigma Model which includes U_A(1) symmetry breaking. We incorporate additional contributions to these…

We present further tests and applications of the new eta-eta' mixing scheme recently proposed by us. The particle states are decomposed into orthonormal basis vectors in a light-cone Fock representation. Because of flavor symmetry breaking…

In this paper, we take into account the intrinsic charm and gluonic contents into the $\eta-\eta^\prime$ mixing scheme and formulate the tetramixing $\eta-\eta^\prime-G-\eta_c$ to study the mixing properties of $\eta^{(\prime)}$ mesons.…

We reanalyze the eta-gamma and eta'-gamma transition form factors within the modified hard scattering approach on the basis of new experimental data from CLEO and L3. Our approach perfectly describes the experimental data over a wide range…

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 known ratio of the branching fractions for D_s^* --> D_s pi^0 and D_s^* --> D_s gamma may be used to extract the coupling of eta mesons to strange quarks once the value of the pi^0-eta mixing angle is known. This requires that realistic…

In case of chiral U_A(1) symmetry restoration the mass of the eta' boson (the ninth, would-be Goldstone boson) is decreased, thus its production cross section is heavily enhanced. The eta' decays (through one of its decay channels) into…

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…
