Abstract

We calculate all of the form factors for the one-photon, KLπ+πγπ+πe+eK_L \rightarrow \pi^+ \pi^- \gamma^* \rightarrow \pi^+ \pi^- e^+e^- contribution to the KLπ+πe+eK_L \rightarrow \pi^+ \pi^- e^+e^- decay amplitude at leading order in chiral perturbation theory. These form factors depend on one unknown constant that is a linear combination of coefficients of local O(p4){\cal O}(p^4) operators in the chiral lagrangian for weak radiative kaon decay. We determine the differential rate for \K\K and also the magnitude of two CP violating observables.
