SUBSTRUCTURE EFFECT ON ρ-ω MIXING IN CHARGE-SYMMETRY VIOLATION

Abstract
In generating a charge-symmetry breaking potential using ρ-ω mixing it is usually assumed that the mixing amplitude is constant (at the on-mass-shell value). Since the exchanged meson is actually far off-shell one must question the validity of this assumption. By constructing a simple quark model in which the mixing is generated by the u-d quark mass difference, we find that the assumption seems to be a very poor one.
