Abstract: To explain the anomalously large decay rate of Sigma+op+mu+mu−, it was proposed that a new mechanism where a light CP-odd pseudoscalar boson of mA10=214.3 MeV makes a crucial contribution. Later, some authors have studied the transition pi0oe+e− and UpsilonogammaA10 in terms of the same mechanism and their result indicates that with the suggested mass one cannot fit the data. This discrepancy might be caused by experimental error of Sigma+op+mu+mu− because there were only a few events. Whether the mechanism is a reasonable one motivates us to investigate the transitions pi0oe+e−;eta(etaprime)omu+mu−;etacomu+mu−;etaboau+au− within the same framework. It is noted that for pi0oe+e−, the standard model (SM) prediction is smaller than the data, whereas the experimental central value of etaomu+mu− is also above the SM prediction. It means that there should be extra contributions from other mechanisms and the contribution of A10 may be a possible one. Theoretically calculating the branching ratios of the concerned modes, we would check if we can obtain a universal mass for A10 which reconcile the theoretical predictions and data for all the modes. Unfortunately, we find that it is impossible to have such a mass with the same coupling |gell|. Therefore we conclude that the phenomenology does not favor such a light A10, even though a small window is still open.
