Abstract

The decay of Ψ′ → Ψ + ππ is described by a chiral ε model. The general features of the observed dipion spectrum are well reproduced. Comparison with the hadronic decay ρ′ → ρ + ππ indicates that the Ψ′Ψε coupling is relatively suppressed by a factor ∼10-2.

Keywords: high energy, hadrons, unstable particles, chiral symmetry, propagation functions
