$\eta^{'} \to \gamma \gamma$ and the topological susceptibility
The radiative decays $\eta'(\eta)\rta\gamma\gamma$ are discussed. The modifications of the conventional PCAC formulae due to the gluonic contribution to the flavour singlet axial anomaly are given. The decay constants satisfy a modified Dashen formula which generalises the Witten--Veneziano for...

Sumario: | The radiative decays $\eta'(\eta)\rta\gamma\gamma$ are discussed. The modifications of the conventional PCAC formulae due to the gluonic contribution to the flavour singlet axial anomaly are given. The decay constants satisfy a modified Dashen formula which generalises the Witten--Veneziano formula for the mass of the $\eta'$. It is shown how the topological susceptibility in QCD with massive, dynamical quarks may be extracted from measurements of |
