Axial Anomaly and Polarized Radiative Decays
نویسندگان
چکیده
We extend the approach of Dolgov and Zakharov to the axial anomaly to study polarized radiative decays. We analyse the pattern of mass singularity cancellation in the corresponding decay rates. We compare polarized and unpolarized cases. The cancellation of the infrared and collinear singularities is verified to all powers of the lepton mass for the π+ and Z0 polarized radiative decays.

Axial Anomaly Effects in Pion and Z0 Radiative Decays
We discuss a connection between axial anomaly and polarized radiative processes. By comparison with the corresponding unpolarized cases, we consider some physical outputs for the π+ and Z0 polarized radiative decays. We analyse in detail the pattern of mass singularity cancellation. PACS 11.30.Rd, 13.20.Cz, 11.15.Bt
متن کاملLight Mesons and Muon Radiative Decays and Photon Polarization Asymmetry
We systematically compute and discuss meson and muon polarized radiative decays. Doubly differential distributions in terms of momenta and helicities of the final lepton and photon are explicitly computed. The undergoing dynamics giving rise to lepton and photon polarizations is examined and analyzed in the soft and hard region of momenta. The particular configurations made by right-handed lept...
متن کاملPhenomenological Evidence for the Gluon Content of η and η ′
We discuss the effect of η–η mixing and of axial current anomalies on various decay processes. We describe the 2γ decays of η and η, the radiative decays of low-lying vector mesons as well as the decays η → 3π, J/ψ → ηγ and J/ψ → ηγ in one unified framework, in which they are related to the electromagnetic and strong axial current anomalies, respectively. We also discuss briefly the enhancement...
متن کاملRadiative η ′ Decays , the Topological Susceptibility and the Witten – Veneziano Mass Formula
The formulae describing the radiative decays η ′ (η) → γγ in QCD beyond the chiral limit are derived. The modifications of the conventional PCAC formulae due to the gluonic contribution to the axial anomaly in the flavour singlet channel are precisely described. The decay constants are found to satisfy a modified Dashen formula which generalises the Witten–Veneziano formula for the mass of the ...
متن کاملInstanton-induced charm contribution to polarized deep-inelastic scattering
Recent data on B decays involving η′ may be explained if the singlet axial current of charmed quarks has a large matrix element to η′, and instantons were shown to be able to generate this effect. We study the magnitude of charm contributions to nucleon polarized structure functions generated in a similar way. Comparing the charm contribution, which is related to a dim(6) gluonic operator, to t...
