Filippov, A T

A review is given of the most recent experimental data on light meson resonances together with a phenomenological analysis incorporating all the basic ideas of QCD. The following topics are discussed in greater detail: (1) the scalar meson problem; (2) the axial meson problem; (3) spin-spin and spin-orbit splitting in meson multiplets; (4) SU/sup f//sub 3/ and OZI (Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka) breaking in meson spectra and decays; (5) SU/sup f//sub 3/ breaking in Regge trajectories and in radial excitations; (6) quark mixing in isoscalar mesons (eta--eta',..omega..--phi,f--f '); (7) experimental determinations of the eta--eta' mixing angle, and (8) radiative decays of vector and pseudoscalar mesons.
