Decays of the hatrho(1⁻⁺) Exotic Hybrid and η-η' Mixing

QCD sum-rules are used to calculate the $\hat\rho(1^{-+})\to\pi\eta, \pi\eta'$ decay widths of the exotic hybrid in two different $\eta-\eta'$ mixing schemes. In the conventional flavour octet-singlet mixing scheme, the decay widths are both found to be small, while in the recently-proposed quark mixing scheme, the decay width $\Gamma_{\hat\rho\to\eta\pi}\approx 250 MeV$ is large compared with the decay width $\Gamma_{\hat\rho\to\eta^\prime\pi}\approx 20 MeV$. These results provide some insight into $\eta$-$\eta'$ mixing and hybrid decay features.
