| Fecha: | 2025 |
| Resumen: | In light of the recent measurement of the η → πγγ decay by the KLOE-2 Collaboration, a previous analysis including vector- and scalar-meson exchange contributions using the vector meson dominance and linear sigma model frameworks, respectively, is extended in the present study to incorporate the effects of the a2(1320) tensor meson within a chiral context. Although the individual contribution of the a2 is negligible, its destructive interference with the vector-meson resonances is found to be significant, representing approximately 18% of the total signal and substantially affecting the diphoton invariant-mass distribution, especially at low mγγ values. The total decay rate is calculated to be Γ(η → πγγ) = 0. 154(22) eV, which corresponds to a branching ratio of BR(η → πγγ) = 1. 17(17) × 10. This result is approximately 5σ below the reported value of the particle data group, 2. 55(22) × 10, while it is in very good agreement with the KLOE-2 measurement, 0. 98 (11stat) (14syst) × 10. In contrast, the total contribution of the a2 is found to be negligible in η →■ πγγ, as this process is completely dominated by the exchange of an on-shell ω vector resonance. |
