%0 Journal Article %T On the possibility of observation of $a_0$-$f_0$ mixing in the $pn \to da_0$ reaction %A A. E. Kudryavtsev %A V. E.

This effect increases near the reaction threshold. The asymmetry is estimated within the framework of a model in which the $a^0_0$-$f_0$ mixing is due to the virtual $\pi^0\leftrightarrow\eta$ transition and the difference in masses of the charged and neutral kaons in decay channels. The angular asymmetry near the threshold of the $pn\to da^0_0$ reaction was found to be large, of the order of $8\div 15$ %. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/nucl-th/0102053v1
