Final-state interactions in η0 → 3π decay

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

It is shown that the ϱ-mesonic final-state interaction could give rise to the observed asymmetries in the η0 → 3π decay. A dynamical model is presented which explains both the branching ratioP0→3π0)/P0→π+)+π-0) and the existence of a large asymmetric component in the (η0→π+)+π-0) decay. The model predicts a relatively small symmetric constant amplitude. It is shown that, in this model, the symmetric constant amplitude vanishes in the limit of the exact 8U3 symmetry and of a constant η-π coupling. A similar discussion is given for the K → 3π decay. Possible effects of the σ0 dipion are also discussed.

Riassunto

Si dimostra che l’interazione dello state finale p-mesonico può dar luogo alle simmetrie osservate nel decadimento η0 → 3π. Si presenta un modello dinamico che spiega sia il rapporte di suddivisioneP0→3π0)/P0→π+)+π-0) e l’esistenza di una grande componente asimmetrica nel decadimento (η0→π+)+π-0) Il modello predice un’ampiezza costante simmetrica relativamente piccola. Si dimostra che, in questo modello, l’ampiezza costante simmetrica tende a zero al limite dell’esatta simmetriaSU3 e di un coatante accoppiamento η-π. Si esprme una simile disenssione per il decadimento K-3πT. Si discutono anche i possibili effetti del.dipione σ0.
