Weak decay constant of pseudoscalar mesons in a QCD-inspired model

Abstract

We show that a linear scaling between the weak decay constants of pseudoscalars and the vector meson masses is supported by the available experimental data. The decay constants scale as f m/f p = MV/Mr (f m decay constant and M V vector meson ground state mass). This simple form is justified within a renormalized lightfront QCD-inspired model for quark-antiquark bound states.
