CHIRAL PERTURBATION THEORY AT THE QUARK LEVEL

Abstract
The chiral perturbation theory is developed at the quark level within the extended Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model, which we used for the low-energy approximation of QCD in the leading order of the large N expansion. In terms of constituent-quark loop diagrams we analyze all of the main low-energy effects caused by the first order corrections in the current-quark-mass expansions. For the correct description of the η→3π decays we confirm the important role of the final-state interaction quoted by Gasser and Leutwyler.
