\sigma -Meson and \omega --\rho Mixing Effects in \omega \rightarrow \pi +\pi -\gamma Decay

A. Gokalp, A. Kucukarslan, S. Solmaz, O. Yilmaz

We calculate the branching ratio of \omega \rightarrow \pi +\pi -\gamma decay in a phenomenological framework in which the contributions of VMD, chiral loops, \sigma -meson intermediate state amplitudes and the effects of \omega --\rho mixing are considered. We conclude that the \sigma -meson intermediate state amplitude and \omega --\rho mixing make substantial contribution to the branching ratio.
