Abstract

We present a calculation of the SU(3)-breaking corrections to the hyperon transition vector form factors to O(p4)\mathcal{O}(p^4) in heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory with finite-range regularisation. Both octet and decuplet degrees of freedom are included. We formulate a chiral expansion at the kinematic point Q2=(MB1MB2)2Q^2=-(M_{B_1}-M_{B_2})^2, which can be conveniently accessed in lattice QCD. The two unknown low-energy constants at this point are constrained by lattice QCD simulation results for the Σn\Sigma^-\rightarrow n and Ξ0Σ+\Xi^0\rightarrow \Sigma^+ transition form factors. Hence we determine lattice-informed values of f1f_1 at the physical point. This work constitutes progress towards the precise determination of Vus|V_{us}| from hyperon semileptonic decays.
