Hyperon decay form factors in chiral perturbation theory∗

چکیده
We present a complete calculation of the SU(3)-breaking corrections to the hyperon vector form factors up to O(p4) in covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory. Partial higher-order contributions are obtained, and we discuss chiral extrapolations of the vector form factor at zero momentum transfer. In addition we derive low-energy theorems for the subleading moments in hyperon decays, the weak Dirac radii and the weak anomalous magnetic moments, up to O(p4).

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...
متن کاملChiral Corrections to the Hyperon Vector Form Factors
We present the complete calculation of the SU(3)-breaking corrections to the hyperon vector form factors up to O(p4) in the Heavy Baryon Chiral Perturbation Theory. Because of the Ademollo–Gatto theorem, at this order the results do not depend on unknown low energy constants and allow to test the convergence of the chiral expansion. We complete and correct previous calculations and find that O(...
متن کاملBaryon form factors : Model – independent results ∗
Baryon form factors can be analyzed in a largely model–independent fashion in terms of two complementary approaches. These are chiral perturbation theory and dispersion relations. I review the status of dispersive calculations of the nucleon electromagnetic form factors in the light of new data. Then, I present the leading one–loop chiral perturbation theory analysis of the hyperon and the stra...

We report on a recent study of the SU(3)-breaking corrections to the hyperon vector coupling f1(0) up to O(p4) in covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory with dynamical octet and decuplet contributions. The decuplet contributions are taken into account for the first time in a covariant ChPT study and are found of similar or even larger size than the octet ones. We predict positive SU(3)-bre...
متن کاملHyperon Non - leptonic Weak Decays in the Chiral Perturbation Theory I
Hyperon non-leptonic weak decay amplitudes are studied in the chiral perturbation theory. We employ the low energy effective weak Hamiltonian which contains the perturbative QCD correction. To include the non-perturbative QCD effect, quark currents of the effective Hamiltonian are substituted with hadronic currents which are color singlet and are derived by the chiral perturbation theory. We fi...
