Abstract

The photon low-energy theorem due to Low, and to Adler and Dothan is applied to the two-body radiative decays of the Ω particle. The decay amplitudes are evaluated in the resulting pole model. With the usual assumptions of octet dominance and CP invariance for the weak Hamiltonian, it is shown that the parity-violating amplitude for ΩΞ*γ should be zero for a current × current weak interaction. The weak vertex parameters obtained from a fit to the experimental data on the nonleptonic decays of the hyperons are used to estimate the decay amplitudes and the decay rates. The implications of the results obtained earlier by Raszillier and Burlacu on the three-body radiative decays ΩB8+P+γ are discussed. Theoretical estimates for the decay rates of weak decay modes of the Ω particle have been compiled.
