Abstract: (APS)
A model for estimating continuum contributions to vector-meson propagators is constructed and used to predict the rate of vector-meson decay into lepton pairs, and a modification of the SU(3) prediction for the rate of ϕ decay into K+K¯. We also compare the pion electromagnetic form factor obtained in our model with that determined by the Novosibirsk group using the reaction e++e−→π++π−.
