The Light-Front Zero-Mode Contribution to the Good Current in Weak Transition

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2011-07-19 v1

Abstract

We examine the light-front zero-mode contribution to the good(+) current matrix elements between pseudoscalar and vector mesons. In particular, we discuss the transition form factor f(q2)f(q^2) which has been suspected to have the light-front zero-mode contribution. While the zero-mode contribution in principle depends on the form of the vector meson vertex Γμ=γμ(PV2k)μ/D\Gamma^\mu=\gamma^\mu - (P_V -2k)^\mu/D, the form factor f(q2)f(q^2) is found to be free from the zero-mode contribution if the denominator DD contains the term proportional to the light-front energy (k)n(k^-)^{n} with the power n>0n>0. The lack of zero-mode contribution benefits the light-front quark model phenomenology. We present our numerical calculations for the BρB\to\rho transition.
