τ--> pi eta' nu_tau分支分数的估计

Estimate of the Branching Fraction of tau --> pi eta' nu_tau

Shmuel Nussinov, Abner Soffer

摘要:

我们计算预期的分支分数的第二类电流衰减τ--> π eta' nu,最近的实验上限确定这个数量的动机。假设a0(980)标量介子是一个$\bar ud$态,则对分支分数的贡献最大.较小的贡献来自a0(1450)、rho(770)和rho(1450)。我们的计算值大大低于实验上限,如果a0(980)是一个四夸克态,就像经常建议的那样,更小。因此,精确的测量或严格的上限有可能确定a0(980)的性质,以及寻找新的标量相互作用。

英文摘要:

We calculate the expected branching fraction of the second-class-current decay tau --> pi eta' nu, motivated by a a recent experimental upper-limit determination of this quantity. The largest contribution to the branching fraction is due to the intermediate a0(980) scalar meson, assuming it is a $\bar ud$ state. Smaller contributions arise from a0(1450), rho(770), and rho(1450). Our calculated values are substantially below the experimental upper limit, and are smaller still if the a0(980) is a four-quark state, as often suggested. Thus, a precise measurement or tight upper limit has the potential to determine the nature of the a0(980), as well as search for new scalar interactions.
