Description

The scattering of neutral vector mesons from a pseudoscalar-meson target is considered. It is shown that, using the SL(2,C) description for the vector particles, one obtains a clear understanding of gauge invariance in the limit of vanishing vector-meson mass, i.e., there are no gauge-invariance conditions on the invariant amplitudes. Some related properties of the description are also given
