Strong transitions of decuplet to octet baryons and pseudoscalar mesons

Abstract

The strong coupling constants of light pseudoscalar pi, K and eta mesons with decuplet-oclet baryons are studied within light cone QCD sum rules, where SU(3)(f) symmetry breaking effects are taken into account It is shown that all coupling constants under the consideration are described by only one universal function even if SU(3)(f) symmetry breaking effects are considered.
