Strong U{sub A}(1) breaking in radiative {eta} decays and baryon systems
Abstract
We study the {eta}{r_arrow}{gamma}{gamma}, {eta}{r_arrow}{gamma}{mu}{sup {minus}}{mu}{sup +}, and {eta}{r_arrow}{pi}{sup 0}{gamma}{gamma} decays using an extended three-flavor Nambu{endash}Jona-Lasinio model that includes the `t Hooft instanton induced interaction. We find that the {eta}-meson mass, the {eta}{r_arrow}{gamma}{gamma}, {eta}{r_arrow}{gamma}{mu}{sup {minus}}{mu}{sup +}, and {eta}{r_arrow}{pi}{sup 0}{gamma}{gamma} decay widths are in good agreement with the experimental values when the U{sub A}(1) breaking is strong and the flavor SU(3) singlet-octet mixing angle {theta} is about zero. The calculated {eta}{gamma}{gamma}{sup {asterisk}} transition form factor has a somewhat weaker dependence on the squared four-momentum of the virtual photon. The effects of the U{sub A}(1) anomaly on the scalar quark contents in the nucleon, the {Sigma}{sub {pi}N} and {Sigma}{sub KN} terms, and the baryon number one and two systems are also studied. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
