Mesonic Width Effects on the Momentum Dependence of the Rho-Omega Mixing Matrix Element

Abstract

It is shown, in a model independent way, that the large difference in rho and omega widths gives rise to a new source of momentum dependence for the rho-omega mixing matrix element. The q2 dependence arising due to the meson widths leads to a significant alteration of the result obtained in the zero-width approximation usually discussed in the literature. The origin of this strong momentum dependence lies in the difference between the rho and omega meson widths.
