β¦ Synopsis
We present a vector dominance model to describe radiative decays involving the light scalar mesons. Assuming that the light scalar mesons form a nonet this model gives relations among various decay amplitudes of the form S + yy, V -+ Sy and S ---f Vy, where S and V denote scalar and vector mesons. By comparing with experimental radiative decay rates, including those recently measured for 4 -+ PP'y, we obtain a fairly large number of predictions.
We discuss briefly ongoing extensions of the present work in an attempt to describe the radiative C$ decay measurements in detail.

We study the question whether the phenomenologicaily successful VMD approach to weak radiative hyperon decays can be made consistent with Hera's theorem and still yield the pattern of asymmetries exhibited by experimentM data. It appears that an essential ingredient which governs the pattern of asym
