We propose a new eta-eta' mixing scheme where we start from the quark flavor basis and assume that the decay constants in that basis follow the pattern of particle state mixing. On exploiting the divergences of the axial vector currents - which embody the axial vector anomaly - all basic parameters are fixed to first order of flavor symmetry breaking. That approach naturally leads to a mass matrix, quadratic in the masses, with specified elements. We also test our mixing scheme against experiment and determine corrections to the first order values of the basic parameters from phenomenology. Finally, we generalize the mixing scheme to include the eta(c). Again the divergences of the axial vector currents fix the mass matrix and, hence, mixing angles and the charm content of the eta and eta'.

  1. A Phenomenological Model of Mesons for Charged Current Weak Decays

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A symmetry-guided phenomenological model organizes leading current-current operators for charged-current decays of heavy-light mesons and reproduces heavy-quark scaling relations for decay constants and form factors.

  2. QCD-factorization amplitudes from flavour symmetries: beyond the $SU(3)$ symmetric case

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A data-driven SU(3)-breaking analysis of B to PP decays yields QCD-factorization amplitudes that resemble dynamical predictions and require no enhanced annihilation terms.

  3. Study of $\eta^\prime \to \eta \pi\pi $ Decays in Large-$N_C$ Chiral Perturbation Theory

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Including ππ final-state interactions in large-Nc ChPT improves agreement with η′ → η ππ data and yields Dalitz parameters a = -0.085(18)stat(4)syst, b = -0.081(10)stat(6)syst, d = -0.045(6)stat(8)syst.
