Abstract: (Springer)
From a set of lowest-order quark-loop diagrams for static mesic amplitudes involving vector and axial vector vertices, we determine the effective quark mass and the meson-quark-quark coupling constants for three types of quark models. These parameters are applied to evaluate certain mesic decays and theSU3 mass splitting of the 0− octet and 1− nonet, which serve as tests for the quark models. Adler’s low-energy theorem for the π0 → 2γ decay is derived in our approach without invoking the Adler-Schwinger anomaly. The test favors the Nambu-Han model of integrally charged quarks. Critical examinations of the underlying assumption of the quark-loop dominance are made, and a speculation on a physical model which allows such a situation will be proposed.
