Timelike Form Factor of the Kaon for |Q^2|=M^2(J/psi)

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

The timelike form factor of the charged kaon is evaluated at |Q^2|=M^2(J/psi)=9.59 GeV^2 by relating it to B(J/psi->K+K-), B(J/psi->K_SK_L) and B(J/psi->e+e-). The resulting value, |Q^2|F_K(9.59 GeV^2)=0.81+-0.18 GeV^2 is found to be in good agreement with |Q^2|F_K(13.5 GeV^2)=0.85+-0.05 GeV^2 obtained recently by the direct measurement of the reaction e+e--> K+K-.
