1.Introduction P-Wave excited states? chiral partner S-Wave ground states SU(2)σpartner The a1 Problems • The sigma meson as chiral partner of the pi meson will be different from 3P0 state in the conventional non-relativistic (NR) classification scheme. • From this viewpoint, it is worthy to reconsider whether the a1 meson, as a chiral partner of the rho meson, is really simply-identified 3P1 state in the NR classification. Still not defined yet!
1.Introduction U~(12)-scheme S. Ishida, M. Ishida, and T.M., PTP104 (2000) • In recent years, we have proposed the U~(12)-scheme, a relativistic covariant level-classification scheme of hadrons. • In this scheme, the light scalar sigma meson has been identified as ``the relativistic qqbar S-wave state'' as well as pi meson, and they play mutually the role of chiral partners. chiral partner These denote the spin wave-function (WF) of sigma- and pi- meson in U(12)-scheme, respectively. More about them will be discussed in later.
1.Introduction The other `` Relat. qqbar S-wave states'' • U~(12)-scheme leads a just appropriate candidate of the axial vector meson as chiral partner of the rho meson. • Here it is notable that these new-type of ``S-wave states’’ are expected to have the light mass compared with those of the P-wave states. chiral partner • U~(12)-scheme also includes the another axial vector state with JPC=1+- , corresponding to b1 meson. chiral partner
1.Introduction Purpose of this work • In this theoretical analysis, we identify the experimentally known states, a1(1260), b1(1235), to our relativistic S-wave states, a1(N), b1(N), respectively. • Then, by using the wave function determined by U~(12)- scheme,we study the following decay properties of a1 and b1 mesons. • Radiative decay : • Strong decay : • Through the above analyses, we will examine whether or not these identifications arepromising.

2. Wave Functions in the U~(12)-Scheme Basic framework of our level-classification scheme is what is called `boosted LS-coupling scheme’. The WF of qqbar ground state meson are given by the following ( bi-local Klein-Gordon ) field with one each upper and lower indices. Ground State 4-Dim. Oscillator WF C.M. Coordinate Flavor WF Relative Coordinate Spin Space-Time Here A relativistic extension of conventional NRQM by separately boosting! denotes Dirac spinor / flavor indices A remarkable point is that WFs of hadron are described as the direct product of spin part and space-time part.
2. Wave Functions in the U~(12)-Scheme -Spin Degree of Freedom Important feature of U~(12)-scheme is that it contains extra SU(2) spin degree of freedom, called ‘‘rho-spin’’ . Chiral Group As a result, spin WFs are classified to the representation of the chiral group. Expansion bases of spinor WF are given by Dirac spinor with hadron on-shell 4-velocity , as Here, u+ corresponds to conventional constituent quark degree of freedom, while u- represents relativistic effect for confined system. They form the chiral partner in basic rep. of chiral group. Chirality : Parity :

3. Radiative Decays of a1 and b1 Mesons In the following section, I will present some associated model predictions. At first, we will consider the radiative decay of a1 and b1 mesons. Due to the our assignments of a1, and b1 to the S-wave states, following gauge invariant spin-type coupling are considered. Here we introduced 2 independent coupling parameters g and g’. The g term contributes only quark chirality conserving transitions, while the g’ term does chirality non-conserving one.
