PARAMETER $\Lambda $ IN ${{\mathit \omega}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \pi}^{0}}{{\mathit \ell}^{+}}{{\mathit \ell}^{-}}$ DECAY

In the pole approximation the electromagnetic transition form factor for a resonance of mass $\mathit M$ is given by the expression: $\vert \mathit F\vert ^2$ = (1 $−$ ${{\mathit M}^{2}}/{{\mathit \Lambda}^{2}}){}^{-2}$, where for the parameter $\Lambda $ vector dominance predicts $\Lambda $ = $\mathit M_{p}$ $\approx{}$ 0.770 GeV. The ARNALDI 2009 measurement is in obvious conflict with this expectation. Note that for ${{\mathit \eta}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \gamma}}{{\mathit \mu}^{+}}{{\mathit \mu}^{-}}$ decay ARNALDI 2009 and DZHELYADIN 1980 obtain the value of $\Lambda $ consistent with vector dominance.
