Abstract

We properly define off-shell KπK\to\pi transition amplitudes and use them to extract information for on-shell KππK\to\pi\pi amplitudes within Chiral Perturbation Theory. At order p2p^2 in the chiral expansion all three parameters of weak interaction can be determined. At order p4p^4 we are able to fix eleven additional constants out of thirteen contributing to off-shell KπK\to\pi transitions, which leaves four undetermined constants in the on-shell KππK\to\pi\pi amplitudes. All O(p4){\cal O}(p^4) contributions have been exactly derived with mπ20m_\pi^2\ne 0. We finally discuss the weak mass term issue and find contributions to on-shell ΔS=±1\Delta S=\pm 1 Kaon decays, in particular to transitions like KLγγK_L \to \gamma \gamma, KLμ+μK_L \to \mu^+ \mu^- and KSπ0γγK_S \to \pi^0 \gamma \gamma at the lowest non-zero order.
