Vector-meson dominance with photon-vector-meson coupling strengths dependent on the photon momentum squared

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

The photon momentum dependence is brought into photon-vector-meson coupling strengths by taking account of the contribution of the intermediate quark-antiquark state. The data on cross-sections for photoproductions and leptonic widths of vector mesons, cross-sections for ψ production by off-shell photons and the pion form factor can be reproduced simultaneously by using the coupling strengths with the photon momentum dependence.

Riassunto

Si introduce una dipendenza dell’impulso del fotone nelle ampiezze dell’accoppiamento fotone-mesone vettoriale tenendo conto del contributo dello stato intermedio quark-antiquark. I dati sulle sezioni d’urto per la fotoproduzione e le ampiezze leptoniche dei mesoni vettoriali, le sezioni d’urto per la produzione di ψ mediante fotoni all’esterno dello strato e il fattore di forma del pione si possono riprodurre simultaneamente mediante le ampiezze di accoppiamento con la dipendenza dall’impulso del fotone.

  25. In a colour gauge theory like QCD (23)S. Weinberg:Phys. Rev. Lett.,31, 494 (1973); the symmetry of flavour is broken only through the quark mass differences. Therefore, we assume the symmetry of flavour for dimensionless constants. Besides, in this type of theories, the effective interactions are relatively stronger at long distances, while they are weaker at short distances. For this property of the strong interactions, even the deviations from the symmetry in parameters with the dimension of mass at low momentum squared will be smaller than the mass breaking due to gluon corrections.
