Decays of light mesons in the relativistic quark model

Abstract

In the framework of the relativistic quark model based on the point form of the Poincaré-invariant quantum mechanics, the parameters were fixed using the integral representations of the lepton decay constants of pseudoscalar and vector mesons containing u-, d- and s-quarks. As a result of numerical calculations using the oscillator wave function, the basic parameters of the model are obtained using the pseudoscalar density constant and current quark masses. The analysis showed that the obtained calculation results in the framework of the model and the experimental data on the lepton decays of hadrons agree well with each other. As a result, the calculation method is generalized to the case of hadronic transitions with γ-quantum emission and a subsequent calculation of the integral representations of radiative decay constants of pseudoscalar and vector mesons. The obtained values of the anomalous magnetic moments are compared with the baryon data. As a test of the model, the authors studied the behavior of the form-factors of radiative decays of vector mesons with a subsequent comparison to the modern experimental data in the q < 0.5 GeV range where the resonance effects are insignificant. As a result, self-consistent descriptions of lepton and radiative transitions were obtained within the framework of the model proposed by the authors.
