On QCD and $\omega-\rho$ mixing
Abstract
The evaluation of sum rules and vacuum condensates used in the calculation of the mixing parameters of the $\omega -\rho$ system involve dangerous cancellations of large numbers. In this note the contribution of the continuum is eliminated in order to avoid such a large source of uncertainty. It is also seen that the hypothesis of vacuum saturation used in the estimate of the dimension 6 condensate is inadequate. The value obtained for the parameter $\beta$ which governs the off-shell variation of the $\omega -\rho$ mixing is $\beta=.25$.
