The coupling constant g$_{\rho\sigma\gamma}$ as derived from QCD sum rules

Abstract

We employ QCD sum rules to calculate the coupling constant g$_{\rho\sigma\gamma}$ by studying the three point ${\rho\sigma\gamma}$-correlation function. Our results is consistent with the value of this coupling constant obtained using vector meson dominance of the electromagnetic current and the experimental $\rho^0$-photoproduction data.
