Experimental Consequences ofφ−ωMixing

Abstract

In this paper a simple model is proposed in which the observed $\phi$ and $\omega$ resonant states are considered as mixtures of "pure" states $|Y〉$ and $|B〉$ corresponding to hypercharge and baryonic mesons. The implications of this model for the isoscalar nucleon form factor; the decays of the $\phi$, $\omega$, and ${\pi }^0$ mesons; the role of the $\omega$ and $\phi$ mesons in nuclear forces; the mass distribution of Dalitz pairs in the decay ${\pi }^0\to \gamma +e^{+}+e^{-}$; and the photoproduction of $\eta$ mesons are briefly considered.
