Effect of the a{sub 1}(1260) resonance on the {rho} {sup {yields}} 4{pi} and {omega},o {sup {yields}} 5 {pi} decay widths

Journal Article · · Physics of Atomic Nuclei

The contribution of the a{sub 1}(1260) meson to the {rho}(770) {sup {yields}} 4{pi},{omega}(782) {sup {yields}} 5{pi}, and o(1020) {sup {yields}} 5{pi} decay amplitudes is analyzed on the basis of the chiral model of pseudoscalar, vector, and axial-vector mesons that is based on generalized hidden local symmetry and which is supplemented with terms induced by the Wess-Zumino anomaly. It is shown that the intensities of the above decays are enhanced upon taking into account the a{sub 1} meson in intermediate states. For the a{sub 1}-meson mass m{sub a{sub 1}} varying from 1.23 GeV to m{sub p}{radical}2=1.09 GeV, the enhancement factor grows from 1.3 to 1.9.
