Two-meson form factors in unitarized chiral perturbation theory

Abstract

We present a comprehensive analysis of form factors for two light pseudoscalar mesons induced by scalar, vector, and tensor quark operators. The theoretical framework is based on a combination of unitarized chiral perturbation theory and dispersion relations. The low-energy constants in chiral perturbation theory are fixed by a global fit to the available data of the two-meson scattering phase shifts. Each form factor derived from unitarized chiral perturbation theory is improved by iteratively applying a dispersion relation. This study updates the existing results in the literature and explores those that have not been systematically studied previously, in particular the two-meson tensor form factors within unitarized chiral perturbation theory. We also discuss the applications of these form factors as mandatory inputs for low-energy phenomena, such as the semi-leptonic decays Bs→ π+π−ℓ+ℓ− and the τ lepton decay τ → π−π0ντ, in searches for physics beyond the Standard Model.

Improved Ke3 radiative corrections sharpen the Kμ2–Kl3 discrepancy

“…In principle the photon can also couple to K 0 due to its non-zero charge radius, so F K 0 em (q 2 ) = 0 when q 2 = 0. However, a simple ChPT calculation at O(p 4 ) indicates that |F K 0 em (q 2 )| < 0.02 when |q 2 | < 0.1 GeV 2 (see, e.g., ref [59]…”

Resonance contributions in $B^-\to K^+K^-π^-$ within the light-come sum rule approach

“…This scalar matrix element itself has been obtained in Ref. [45]. However, its exact NR component is still unknown.…”

Resonance contributions in $$B^-\rightarrow K^+K^-\pi ^-$$ within the light-cone sum rule approach

“…of the correlation function is proportional to the discontinuity in terms of the invariants p 2 V and p 2 π , and the discontinuity only comes from the denominators of the integrand in Eq. (49). It is found that p 2 V and p 2 π do not appear in the same denominator, so we can extract the two imaginary parts independently.…”
