Can one see the number of colors in eta, eta-prime --> pi^+ pi^- gamma?

We investigate the decays eta, eta-prime --> pi^+ pi^- gamma up to next-to-leading order in the framework of the combined 1/N_c and chiral expansions. Counter terms of unnatural parity at next-to-leading order with unknown couplings are important to acommodate the results both to the experimental decay width and the photon spectrum. The presence of these coefficients does not allow for a determination of the number of colors from these decays.

Ground-state energy of pionic hydrogen to one loop

We investigate the ground-state energy of the pi- p atom (pionic hydrogen) in the framework of QCD+QED. In particular, we evaluate the strong energy-level shift. We perform the calculation at next-to-leading order in the low-energy expansion in the framework of the relevant effective field theory. The result provides a relation between the strong energy shift and the pion-nucleon S-wave scattering lengths - evaluated in pure QCD - at next-to-leading order in isospin breaking and in the low-energy expansion. We compare our result with available model calculations.

Hadronic potentials from effective field theories

We construct the potentials that describe the spectrum and decay of electromagnetic bound states of hadrons, and are consistent with ChPT. These potentials satisfy the matching condition which enables one to express the parameters of the potential through the threshold scattering amplitudes calculated in ChPT. We further analyze the ambiguity in the choice of the short-range hadronic potentials, which satisfy this matching condition.
