Description

We suggest that the measurement of vector-meson radiation decays V → Pγ in the Primakoff-effect experiments on nuclei should be reanalyzed including isovector hadronic exchange. Its inclusion invalidates the assumption, made in data analyses, of A independence of the strength of the strong-production amplitude and could well remove the disagreement between theory and experiment for GAMMA (rho → πγ) and GAMMA
