Heavy-quark content of light hadrons and implications for the γ-family

Состав легких адронов и следствия дляТ семейства

Summary

The role of the η, η′ and ε mesons in the decays of the γ-family is investigated. By analogy with the ψ system these light mesons, because of their heavy-quark content, are expected to exhibit special affinity for γ. The effect, however, is anticipated to be much less pronounced, for γ than it is for ψ. We predictΓ (γ′→(η, ππ)γ)≲2 keV, a value consistent with a bound of ≅10 keV derived from the observed ratio of the μ+μ- signal for γ and γ′. The latter data also favor a value of Λ(γ→direct hadrons) of at least 1 keV in contrast to expectations from duality.

Riassunto

Si analizza il ruolo dei mesoni η, η, η′ e ε nei decadimenti della famiglia γ. Per analogia con il sistema ψ ci si aspetta che questi mesoni leggeri, a causa del loro contenuto in quark pesanti, mostrino una speciale affinità per γ. Comunque., si anticipa che questo effetto è molto meno pronunciato per γ di quanto non lo sia per ψ. Si predice un'ampiezzaΓ (γ′→(η, ππ)γ)≲2 keV, un valore che è consistente con un legame di ≅10 keV derivato dal rapporto osservato del segnale μ+μ- per γ e γ′. Questi ultimi dati rendono anche possibile un valore di Λ(γ→adroni diretti) di almeno 1 keV un contrasto a quello che ci si aspetterebbe secondo la dualità.

Резюме

Исследуется роль η, η, η′ и э мезонов в распадах γ семейства. В связи с аналогией между ψ системой и этими легкими мезонами, которая связана с их составом из тяжелых кварков, предполагаерся, что имеется сродство для γ. Однако, ожидается, что этот эффект менее выражен для γ, чем для ψ. Мы предсказываемΓ (γ′→(η, ππ)γ)≲2 кэВ. Эта величина согласуется с границей=10 кэВ, выведенной из наблюденного отношения μ+μ- ситнала для γ и γ and γ′. Пплученные данные отдают предпочтение величине Λ(γ→прямые адроны), по крайней мере, 1 кэВ, в противоположностъ предсказаниям дуалъности.
