The decays ρ−→ηπ−\rho^{-}\to\eta\pi^{-} and τ−→η(η′)π−ν\tau^{-}\to\eta(\eta')\pi^{-}\nu in the NJL model

The widths of the decays $\rho^{-}\to\eta\pi^{-}$ and $\tau^{-}\to\eta(\eta')\pi^{-}\nu$ are calculated in the framework of the NJL model. It is shown that these decays are defined by the $u$ and $d$ quark mass difference. It leads to the suppression of these decays in comparison with the main decay modes. In the process $\rho^{-}\to\eta\pi^{-}$ the intermediate scalar $a_0^{-}$ state is taken into account. For the $\tau$ decays the intermediate states with $a_0^{-}$, $\rho^{-}(770)$ and $\rho^{-}(1450)$ mesons are used. Our estimates are compared with the results obtained in other works.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures, 1 tabl

The processes e+e−→ππ(π′)e^{+}e^{-} \to \pi\pi(\pi') in the extended NJL model

The process $e^{+}e^{-} \to \pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ is described in the framework of the extended NJL model. Intermediate vector mesons $\rho^0(770)$, $\omega(782)$ and \rho'(1450)$are taken into account. Our results are in satisfactory agreement with experimental data. The prediction for the process$e^{+}e^{-} \to \pi\pi'(1300)$is given. Here the main contribution is given by the diagram with intermediate$\rho'(1450)$ meson.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figure

Pion Polarizability in the NJL model and Possibilities of its Experimental Studies in Coulomb Nuclear Scattering

The charge pion polarizability is calculated in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model, where the quark loops (in the mean field approximation) and the meson loops (in the $1/N_c$ approximation) are taken into account. We show that quark loop contribution dominates, because the meson loops strongly conceal each other. The sigma-pole contribution $(m^2_\sigma-t)^{-1}$ plays the main role and contains strong t-dependence of the effective pion polarizability at the region $|t|\geq 4M_\pi^2$. Possibilities of experimental test of this sigma-pole effect in the reaction of Coulomb Nuclear Scattering are estimated for the COMPASS experiment.Comment: 11 pages, 8 figure

Production of π0ρ0\pi^0\rho^0 pair in electron-positron annihilation in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model

The process $e^+e^- \to \pi^0\rho$ is described in the framework of the expanded NJL model in the energy region from 0.9 GeV to 1.5 GeV. The contribution of intermediate state with vector mesons $\omega(782), \,\,\phi(1020)$, and $\omega'(1420)$, where $\omega'$ is the first radial excitation of $\omega$ - meson was taken into account. Results obtained are in satisfactory agreement with experimental data.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure, 1 tabl

Strong decays of radially excited mesons in a chiral approach

We study radial excitations of pseudoscalar and vector (q bar q) mesons within a chiral approach. We derive a general form for a chiral Lagrangian describing processes involving excited pseudoscalar and vector mesons. The parameters of the chiral Lagrangian are fitted using data and previous calculations in the framework of the 3P0 model. Finite-width effects are examined and predictions for mesons previously not discussed are given. Available experimental data is analyzed whenever possible. Possible hints for exotic mesons and open interpretation-issues are discussed.Comment: 16 page

τ−→π−π0ντ\tau^{-} \to \pi^{-} \pi^{0} \nu_\tau decay in the extended NJL model

The width of the decay $\tau^{-} \to \pi^{-} \pi^{0} \nu_\tau$ was calculated in the extended NJL model. Contact interaction of $W$ boson with pion pair as well as the contribution of the $\rho$ mesons in ground and first radial-exited states are taken into account. The sum of the contact diagram and diagram with intermediate $\rho$ meson in the ground state leads to the result which coincides with the result of the vector-dominance model. Our results are in satisfactory agreement with experimental data.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, 1 tabl

rho(omega)-> pi^0 pi^0 gamma, rho(omega) -> eta pi^0 gamma decays in the local quark Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model

The branching ratios and photon spectra of the rare processes rho(omega)-> pi^0 pi^0 gamma, rho(omega) -> eta pi^0 gamma are calculated in the framework of the standard local quark Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model. Three types of diagrams are considered: the quark box and the pole diagrams with scalar (sigma,a_0(980)) and vector (rho,omega) mesons. The obtained estimations for the widths of the processes rho(omega)-> pi^0 pi^0 gamma are in satisfactory agreement with existing experimental data. Predictions are made for the widths of the processes rho(omega) -> eta pi^0 gamma.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure

NJL interaction derived from QCD: vector and axial-vector mesons

In previous works effective non-local $SU(2)\times SU(2)$ NJL model was derived in the framework of the fundamental QCD. All the parameters of the model are expressed through QCD parameters: current light quark mass $m_0$ and average non-perturbative $\alpha_s$. The results for scalar and pseudo-scalar mesons are in satisfactory agreement to existing data. In the present work the same model without introduction of any additional parameters is applied for a description of masses and strong decay widths of $\rho$- and $a_1$-mesons. The results for both scalar and vector sectors agree with data with only one adjusted parameter $m_0$, with account of average $\alpha_s \simeq 0.415$, which is obtained in a previous work as well.Comment: 19 pages, 2 figures, 1 tabl

Excited scalar mesons in a chiral quark model

First radial excitations of the isoscalar and isovector scalar mesons f_0(400-1200), f_0(980) and a_0(980) are investigated in the framework of a nonlocal version of a chiral quark model of the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio type. It is shown that f_0(1370), f_J(1710) and a_0(1450) are the first radially excited states of f_0(400-1200), f_0(980) and a_0(980) which are ground states of the scalar meson nonet. The mesons' masses and strong decay widths are calculated. The scalar resonance f_0(1500) is supposed to be a glueball. The status of K_0^*(1430) is discussed.Comment: LaTeX, 1 figure, minor misprints eradicate
