Hyperon Nonleptonic Decays in Chiral Perturbation Theory Reexamined

چکیده
We recalculate the leading nonanalytic contributions to the amplitudes for hyperon nonleptonic decays in chiral perturbation theory. Our results partially disagree with those calculated before, and include new terms previously omitted in the P-wave amplitudes. Although these modifications are numerically significant, they do not change the well-known fact that good agreement with experiment cannot be simultaneously achieved using one-loop Sand P-wave amplitudes.

Weak hyperon decays in heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory: Renormalization and applications
The complete renormalization of the weak Lagrangian to chiral order q2 in heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory is performed using heat kernel techniques. The results are compared with divergences appearing in the calculation of Feynman graphs for the nonleptonic hyperon decay Λ → pπ− and an estimate for the size of the counterterm contributions to the s-wave amplitudes in nonleptonic hyperon...

We examine the importance of JP = 12 + , 12 − resonances for weak nonleptonic Ω− decays within the framework of chiral perturbation theory. The spin-1/2 resonances are included into an effective theory and tree contributions to the Ω− decays are calculated. We find significant contributions to the decay amplitudes and satisfactory agreement with experiment. This confirms and extends previous re...
متن کاملRole of resonances in nonleptonic hyperon decays
We examine the importance of resonances for the non–leptonic hyperon decays in the framework of chiral perturbation theory. Lower lying resonances are included into the effective theory. Integrating out the heavy degrees of freedom in the resonance saturation scheme generates higher order counterterms in the effective Lagrangian, providing an estimate of the pertinent coupling constants. A fit ...

We study the j Ij = 3=2 amplitudes of the octet-hyperon decays B ! B0 and of the decays ! in the context of heavy-baryon chiral perturbation theory. For the octet-hyperon decays, we investigate the theoretical uncertainty of the lowest-order predictions by calculating the leading nonanalytic corrections. We nd that these corrections are within the expectations of naive power counting and, there...

We study the |∆I| = 3/2 and |∆S| = 2 amplitudes for hyperon decays of the form B → B ′ π at lowest order in chiral perturbation theory. At this order, the ∆I = 3/2 amplitudes depend on only one constant. We extract the value of this constant from experiment and find a reasonable description of these processes within experimental errors. The same constant determines the ∆S = 2 transitions which,...
