Meson vacuum phenomenology in a three-flavor linear sigma model with (axial-)vector mesons

arXiv:1208.0585 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.87.014011

Abstract

We study scalar, pseudoscalar, vector, and axial-vector mesons with non-strange and strange quantum numbers in the framework of a linear sigma model with global chiral symmetry. We perform a global fit of meson masses, decay widths, as well as decay amplitudes. The quality of the fit is, for a hadronic model that does not consider isospin-breaking effects, surprisingly good. We also investigate the question whether the scalar states lie below or above 1 GeV and find the scalar states above 1 GeV to be preferred as states. Additionally, we also describe the axial-vector resonances as states.
