Experimental consequences of φ-ω mixing

Abstract

In this paper a simple model is proposed in which the observed φ and ω resonant states are considered as mixtures of "pure" states |Y〉 and |B〉 corresponding to hypercharge and baryonic mesons. The implications of this model for the isoscalar nucleon form factor; the decays of the φ, ω, and π0 mesons; the role of the ω and φ mesons in nuclear forces; the mass distribution of Dalitz pairs in the decay π0→γ+e++e-; and the photoproduction of η mesons are briefly considered.
