Status of Strong ChPT

چکیده

The present status of Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT) in the strong mesonic sector is discussed. A very short introduction to ChPT is followed by an overview of existing two-loop calculations and the determination of the Low-Energy-Constants (LECs). I discuss the case of η → πππ decays in somewhat more detail and finish by mentioning some recent work on partially quenched ChPT and on the renormalization group in ChPT.

/ 00 09 20 6 v 1 1 8 Se p 20 00 π − p atom in ChPT : strong energy - level shift

The general formula of the π − p atom strong energy-level shift in the 1s state is derived in the next-to-leading order in the isospin breaking, and in all orders in chiral expansion. Isospin-breaking corrections to the level shift are explicitly evaluated at order p 2 in ChPT. The results clearly demonstrate the necessity to critically reaccess the values of the πN scattering lengths, extracte...

Recent Developments in Chiral Perturbation Theory

I briefly review the current status of chiral perturbation theory (CHPT) in the meson sector. Emphasis is given on the quest for higher precision. I discuss two examples: one where it is difficult to make a good prediction (KL → π γγ), and where CHPT, even when pushed to higher orders, cannot yield an increase in accuracy. The second one is ππ scattering where a very sharp prediction can be mad...

Positivity Constraints on Chiral Perturbation Theory Pion-Pion Scattering Amplitudes

We test the positivity property of the chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) pion-pion scattering amplitudes within the Mandelstam triangle. In the one-loop approximation, O(p4), the positivity constrains only the coefficients b3 and b4, namely one obtains that b4 and the linear combination b3 + 3b4 are positive quantities. The two-loops approximation gives inequalities involving all the six arbitr...

Chiral Perturbation Theory Beyond One Loop

The existing Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT) calculations at order p6 are reviewed. The principles of ChPT and how they are used are introduced. The main part is a review of the twoand three-flavour full two-loop calculations and their comparison with experiment. We restrict the discussion to the mesonic purely strong and semileptonic sector. The review concludes by mentioning the existing re...

STUDY OF RADIATIVE DECAYS AND RELATED ChPT TESTS AT THE NA48/2 EXPERIMENT

The latest results from the NA48/2 collaboration on charged kaon decays will be reviewed in this paper. The high statistics available, collected during 2003 and 2004 runs, allows the study of charged kaon decays up to branching ratios (BR) of ∼ 10−8. The status of the analyses of several radiative decays (K± → π±π0γ, K± → π±γγ, K± → π±e+e−γ and K± → π±e+e−) will be discussed, including BR measu...
