Abstract

We study the decays KππK\to\pi\pi in one-loop two-flavour Chiral Perturbation Theory. We provide arguments why the calculation of the coefficient of the pionic chiral logarithm \logm=M2logM2\logm = M^2\log M^2 is unique and then perform the calculation. As a check we perform the reduction of the known three-flavour result. The underlying arguments are expected to be valid for heavier particles and other processes as well.
