Abstract

Some of the important W± and Z decay amplitudes, relating to the chiral anomalies of the quark sector in the Standard Model, are given by means of the interactions determined by the effective Lagrangian (action) of the nonlinear σ model for the pseudogoldstone bosons. The corresponding decay rates are calculated. It is shown that the decay rates are quite large, especially, the rate of the decay W →πγ and probably that of W → Dsγ are predicted being unexpectedly great (ΓW→πγ = 0.35 GeV). This indicates that the chiral anomalies and our approach should receive tests from SPPS and Tevantron experiments.
