Comment on "Radiative decays, nonet symmetry and SU(3) breaking" by M. Benayoun et al

Abstract

We comment on the paper by Benayoun, DelBuono, Eidelman, Ivanchenko, and O'Connell [Phys. Rev. {\bf D 59}, 114027 (1999)]. We show that the decay $\varphi \to {\pi }^0\gamma$ is absent in model of the nonet symmetry and SU(3) breaking suggested by authors.
