Electromagnetism in Nonleptonic Weak Interactions *

چکیده
We construct a low-energy effective field theory that permits the complete treatment of isospin-breaking effects in nonleptonic weak interactions to next-to-leading order. To this end, we enlarge the chiral Lagrangian describing strong and ∆S = 1 weak interactions by including electromagnetic terms with the photon as additional dynamical degree of freedom. The complete and minimal list of local terms at next-to-leading order is given. We perform the one-loop renormalization at the level of the generating functional and specialize to K → ππ decays.

On Nonleptonic Decays of Supermultiplets
By describing strong interactions between hadrons via a relativistic supermultiplet scheme and regarding weak interactions as a perturbation thereof, we derive expressions for nonleptonic weak decay amplitudes in terms of constituent quark masses and CKM angles, with no other parameters. Application of this method leads to ∆I = 1/2 dominance in some pseudoscalar meson decays if one scales down ...
متن کاملFinal - State Interactions in Nonleptonic Weak Decays of D and B Mesons ∗
We study final-state interactions in nonleptonic weak decays in statistical models by averaging over ensembles of strong interaction Smatrices. The models range from one with completely random strong interactions, which gives extensive mixing between physical states, to models with feeble final-state interactions, characterized by small phase shifts. We compute expectation values for weak decay...

We give best covariant amplitude decompositions for two-body decay processes involving ground state hadrons (0−, 1−, 1 2 + , 3 2 + ) and show how these are simply related to helicity amplitudes. After discussing how electromagnetic interactions are incorporated via meson dominance in a relativistic supermultiplet scheme, we extend the analysis to weak flavour changing nonleptonic processes. Suc...
متن کاملQcd-improved Factorization in Nonleptonic B Decays
Nonleptonic decays ofB mesons have attracted a lot of attention recently since they were observed experimentally in CLEO, BaBar and BELLE. These decays are important in extracting the information on the Cabibbo-KobayashiMaskawa (CKM) matrix elements and CP violation. On the theoretical side, it is the least understood area. Since nonleptonic decays involve nonperturbative effects such as final-...
متن کاملDibaryons with strangeness: their weak nonleptonic decay using SU(3) symmetry and how to find them in relativistic heavy-Ion collisions
Weak SU(3) symmetry is successfully applied to the weak hadronic decay amplitudes of octet hyperons. Weak nonmesonic and mesonic decays of various dibaryons with strangeness, their dominant decay modes, and lifetimes are calculated. Production estimates for the Brookhaven Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider are presented employing wave-function coalescence. Signals for detecting strange dibaryon st...
