Abstract

The radiative decays of the pseudoscalar mesons P = (π0,η,η′) are of special interest as they provide an experimental window on the electromagnetic and colour chiral UA(1) anomalies. π0 → γγ is well described by the electromagnetic UA(1) anomaly under the assumption that π0 is a Goldstone boson for...
