Hyperon Nonleptonic Decays in Chiral Perturbation Theory Reexamined

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v2

Abstract

We recalculate the leading nonanalytic contributions to the amplitudes for hyperon nonleptonic decays in chiral perturbation theory. Our results partially disagree with those calculated before, and include new terms previously omitted in the P-wave amplitudes. Although these modifications are numerically significant, they do not change the well-known fact that good agreement with experiment cannot be simultaneously achieved using one-loop S- and P-wave amplitudes.
