On the Corrections to Dashen's Theorem

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-28 v2

Abstract

The electromagnetic corrections to the masses of the pseudoscalar mesons π\pi and KK are considered. We calculate in chiral perturbation theory the contributions which arise from resonances within a photon loop at order O(e2mq)O(e^2 m_q). Within this approach we find rather moderate deviations to Dashen's theorem.
