(8) a rather large D-wave in A1 decay was required while there is now experimental evidence showing that it is S-wave. See, for instance, ref. (5).

  10. A 1 +D resonance with mass ~1.65 GeV and width 0.4 GeV was recently reported in ref. ( 5). This could be the first radial excitation of theA 1 (in agreement with our eq. (19)). Although there are reports of a strange pseudoscalar at 1.4 GeV (see G. W. Brandenburg, R. K. Carnegie, R. J.Cashmore, M. Davier, W. M. Dunwoodie, T. A. Lasinski, D. W. G. S. Leith, J. A. J. Matthews. P. Walden and S. H. Williams:Phys. Rev. Lett.,36, 1239 (1976)) no π -like exoitation has been seen up to date. Even if such excitations existed their decay constants C π-2(n) should be negligible in comparison with C π-2. See,H. Sazdjian:Nucl. Phys.,129 B, 319 (1977);N. H. Fuchs andH. Sazdjian: preprint IPNO/78-3 (1978).
