Flavor SU(4) breaking between effective couplings

arXiv:1111.3647 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.85.031502

Abstract

Using a framework in which all elements are constrained by Dyson-Schwinger equation studies in QCD, and therefore incorporates a consistent, direct and simultaneous description of light- and heavy-quarks and the states they constitute, we analyze the accuracy of SU(4)-flavor symmetry relations between πρπ, KρK and DρD couplings. Such relations are widely used in phenomenological analyses of the interactions between matter and charmed mesons. We find that whilst SU(3)-flavor symmetry is accurate to 20%, SU(4) relations underestimate the DρD coupling by a factor of five.
