Generalized Chiral Perturbation Theory

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

The Generalized Chiral Perturbation Theory enlarges the framework of the standard χ\chiPT, relaxing certain assumptions which do not necessarily follow from QCD or from experiment, and which are crucial for the usual formulation of the low energy expansion. In this way, experimental tests of the foundations of the standard χ\chiPT become possible. Emphasis is put on physical aspects rather than on formal developements of Gχ\chiPT.
