National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Study of Scalar Mesons and Related Radiative Decays.

DE2004824452

Publication Date	2004
Personal Author	Balc, D.; Harada, M.; Schechter, J.
Page Count	14
Abstract	After a brief review of the puzzling light scalar meson sector of QCD, a brief summary will be given of a paper concerning radiative decays involving the light scalars. There, a simple vector meson dominance model is constructed in an initial attempt to relate a large number of the radiative decays involving a putative scalar nonet to each other. As an application it is illustrated why a(sub 0)(980)-f(sub 0)(980) mixing is not expected to greatly alter the f(sub 0)/a(sub 0) production ratio for radiative(phi) decays.
