Abstract

We recently considered K4K_{\ell 4} decays in the framework of chiral perturbation theory based on the effective Lagrangian including mesons, photons, and leptons. There, we published analytic one-loop-level expressions for form factors ff and gg corresponding to the mixed process, K0π0π+νK^0\to\pi^0\pi^-\ell^+\nu_{\ell}. We propose here a possible splitting between strong and electromagnetic parts allowing analytic (and numerical) evaluation of Isospin breaking corrections. The latter are sensitive to the infrared divergence subtraction scheme and are sizeable near the ππ\pi\pi production threshold. Our results should be used for the extraction of the PP-wave iso-vector ππ\pi\pi phase shift from the outgoing data of the currently running KTeV experiment at FNAL.
