On the eta-eta' complex in the SD-BS approach

Abstract

The bound-state Schwinger-Dyson and Bethe-Salpeter (SD-BS) approach is chirally well-behaved and provides a reliable treatment of the eta-eta' complex although a ladder approximation is employed. Allowing for the effects of the SU(3) flavor symmetry breaking in the quark-antiquark annihilation, leads to the improved eta-eta' mass matrix.
