The Kaon Form Factor in the Light-Cone Quark Model

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v2 High Energy Physics - Experiment Nuclear Theory

Abstract

The electromagnetic form factor of the kaon meson is calculated in the light-cone formalism of the relativistic constituent quark model. The calculated K+K^+ form factor is consistent with almost all of the available experimental data at low energy scale, while other properties of kaon could also be interrelated in this representation with reasonable parameters. Predictions of the form factors for the charged and neutral kaons at higher energy scale are also given, and we find non-zero K0K^0 form factor at Q20Q^2 \ne 0 due to the mass difference between the strange and down quarks inside K0K^0.
