We derive the order $p^8$ Lagrangian of odd intrinsic parity for mesonic chiral perturbation theory, and provide the resulting operator basis in the supplementary material. Neglecting the non-zero singlet trace, we find $999$ operators for…
We construct the relativistic chiral Lagrangians for heavy-light mesons $(Q\bar{q})$ to the $\mathcal{O}(p^4)$ order. From $\mathcal{O}(p^2)$ to $\mathcal{O}(p^4)$, there are 17, 67, and 404 independent terms in the flavor $SU(2)$ case and…

A proper estimation of the chiral low-energy constants of Chiral Perturbation Theory is a very important task. To this end resonance chiral Lagrangians have been used fruitfully. We have studied the determination of chiral couplings at…
