Nonleptonic, electromagnetic decays of K‐mesons and K°–K̄° transition are treated with the effective Hamiltonians with ΔS = 1, 2. Matrix elements of four‐quark operators are calculated in the framework of Quark Confinement Model. The account of the intermediate scalar mesons turns out to allow to explain ΔI = 1/2 rule. The account of intermediate scalar and pseudo‐scalar states leads to experimental value of mass difference of KL°–KS° mesons. The obtained values for nonleptonic and electromagnetic decay widths as well as mass difference ΔmLS are in good agreement with experimental data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
