Title: Pseudoscalar-meson mixing problem, spectral-function sum rules, and chiral symmetry. [Width, effective chiral lagrangian]

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., D; (United States)

The pseudoscalar-meson spectrum is first discussed in connection with SU(4) extended spectral-function sum rules. The spectrum can be fitted into the sum rule to within a well-known ambiguity in assigning the eta' particle. In order to remove this ambiguity, the eta' decay width as well as its mass are next investigated in the effective-chiral-Lagrangian approach. Experimental data seem to favor the assignment of eta' = X (958).
