Complete Leading Order Analysis in Chiral Perturbation Theory of the Decays K L → γγ and K

چکیده
The decays KL → γγ and KL → l+l− γ are studied at the leading order p6 in Chiral Perturbation Theory. One-loop contributions stemming from the odd intrinsic parity | ∆S |= 1 effective Lagrangian of order p4 are included and shown to be of possible relevance. They affect the decay KL → γγ adding to the usual pole terms a piece free of counterterm uncertainties. In the case of the KL → l+l− γ decays the dependence of the form factor on the dilepton invariant mass requires a counterterm. The form factor may receive a sizeable contribution from chiral logarithms. Including considerations from the KL → π+π− γ direct emission amplitude, we obtain two consistent scenarios. In one scenario the long distance contributions from the one-loop terms are important, while in the other they are marginal. In both cases the counterterm is shown to be significant.

Radiative and semileptonic decays in Chiral Perturbation Theory
I give a short overview of what has been done in radiative and semileptonic Kaon decays in Chiral Perturbation Theory. This includes for semileptonic decays the work which has been done to order p 6 including preliminary results of isospin breaking to that order in K ℓ3. For the radiative decays I mainly present some results from recent work concerning K ℓ3γ. Figure 1: The order p 4 diagrams fo...
متن کاملRare Kaon Decays in the 1/n C -expansion
We study the unknown coupling constants that appear at O(p 4) in the Chiral Perturbation Theory analysis of K → πγ * → πl + l − , K +− → π +− γγ [1] and K → ππγ [2] decays. To that end, we compute the chiral realization of the ∆S = 1 Hamilto-nian in the framework of the 1/N c-expansion of the low-energy action proposed in Ref. [3]. The phenomenological implications are also discussed.
متن کاملChiral–loop and Vector–meson Contributions to Η → Ππγγ Decays
The process η → π 0 π 0 γγ is discussed in Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT). Special attention is devoted to one-loop corrections, η-η ′ mixing effects and vector-meson dominance of ChPT counter-terms. The less interesting η → π + π − γγ transition is briefly discussed too. The rare decay modes η → π 0 π 0 γγ and η → π + π − γγ have been recently discussed by several authors in the context of ...

We present a calculation of the low energy constants describing the real and imaginary parts of the K → ππ decay amplitudes A0 and A2. Leading and next leading order chiral perturbation theory is used and its applicability assessed. A combination of statistical and systematic errors limits the precision of the results. The apparent limitations of chiral perturbation theory raise doubts about th...

A possible experimental determination of m s / ˆ m from K µ4 decays Abstract Kπ scattering and K µ4 decays are studied at leading order of improved chiral perturbation theory. It is shown that high precision K µ4 experiments at, e.g., DAΦNE should allow for a direct measurement of the quark mass ratio m s / ˆ m.
