Özet

Recent measurements of the branching ratios for the decays omega --> pi(0) pi(0)gamma and rho(0) --> pi(0)pi(0)gamma lead to coupling constants of the Vsigmagamma interaction (V is a vector meson) one order of magnitude smaller than previously assumed to describe the threshold cross section of gamma + p --> p + rho(0) and the HERMES effect. The new g(Vsigmagamma)(2) a couplings are in contradiction with the predictions of the QCD sum rules, but are in agreement with vector meson dominance estimation of the sigma --> gammagamma width.
