Abstract
In framework of Chiral Perturbation Theory with vector and axial-vector mesons we develop a model for charged and neutral kaon electromagnetic form factors. Regions of time-like and space-like photon momentum are considered. Beyond the tree level the model includes certain loop correc- tions, such as self-energy operators in vector-meson (ρ, ω, φ) propagators and “dressed” photon-meson vertices. The contribution of ρ = ρ(1450), ω = ω(1420) and φ = φ(1680) resonances is included. Results are com- pared with experimental data on form factors and good agreement is achieved without making a fit. We evaluate KK−channel contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment as well.
1 Introduction
We review here results of our recent paper [1] devoted to application of Chiral Perturbation Theory [2] (ChPT) to calculation of kaon electromagnetic (EM) form factors (FF)s. The particles of interest are K0 and K±. Quark compo- sition of mass eigenstates reads: K+ = us, K0 = ds (strangeness = +1) and 0 K− = K+ = us, K = ds (strangeness = −1), and the corresponding masses are mK+ = 493.7 MeV and mK0 = 497.6 MeV. 2 2 FFs FK (q ) for the time-like momentum q > 0 enter the matrix el- ement of EM current operator between vacuum and kaon-antikaon states: μ μ 2 K(p1)K(p2)|jem(x =0)|0 ≡(p1 − p2) FK (q ). Here p1 and p2 are kaon momenta, photon invariant mass q2 is equal to kaon pair invariant mass 2 2 ≡ μ 2 μ − q =(p1 + p2) s, and quark EM current is jem(x)= 3 u(x)γ u(x) 1 μ − 1 μ 3 d(x)γ d(x) 3 s(x)γ s(x).
