The isospin-breaking decay eta {\to} 3pi is an ideal tool to extract information on light quark mass ratios from experiment. For a precise determination, however, a detailed description of the Dalitz plot distribution is necessary. In that…
An overview is given of Chiral Perturbation Theory and various applications to eta decays. In particular, the main decay $\eta\to3\pi$ is discussed at the one-loop level, and estimates of the higher order corrections are given. The…
We analyze the Dalitz plot parameters of eta to 3 pion decay in the framework of resummed chiral perturbation theory. This approach allows us to keep the uncertainties in the NNLO and higher orders under better control and estimate their…
I discuss isospin breaking effects within the standard model. Chiral perturbation theory presents the appropriate theoretical framework for such an investigation in the low--energy range. Recent results on the electromagnetic contributions…
We investigate the $\eta^\prime \to \eta \pi\pi$ decays within the framework of large-$N_{C}$ chiral perturbation theory, by calculating the decay amplitudes up to next-to-next-to-leading order in a simultaneous expansion in powers of…
We study the hadronic $\eta^{\prime}\to\eta\pi\pi$ decays within the framework of $U(3)_{L}\otimes U(3)_{R}$ Chiral Perturbation Theory including resonance states and the complete one-loop corrections. The amplitude is projected in partial…
Theoretical efforts to describe and explain the $\eta\to 3\pi$ decays reach far back in time. Even today, the convergence of the decay widths and some of the Dalitz plot parameters seems problematic in low energy QCD. In the framework of…
In the framework of Chiral Perturbation Theory including photons, we found that the contribution of the photon exchange between two intermediate charged Kaons to the slope parameter of the decay (\eta\rightarrow 3\pi^{0}) amounts to…
The hadronic decays eta' -> eta pi pi are studied in the frameworks of large-Nc Chiral Perturbation Theory, at lowest and next-to-leading orders, and Resonance Chiral Theory in the leading 1/Nc approximation. Higher order effects such as…
Preliminary results for the Dalitz plot distribution of $\eta^\prime\to\eta\pi\pi$ decays in the frameworks of Large-$N_c$ Chiral Perturbation Theory and Resonance Chiral Theory are given. We hope our results to be of some relevance for the…
We demonstrate that the decay eta -> 3 pi represents a sensitive probe for the breaking of chiral symmetry by the quark masses. The transition amplitude is proportional to the mass ratio (m_d^2-m_u^2)/(m_s^2-m^2). The factor of…
A study of the eta'->eta pi pi Dalitz plot distribution is presented in this talk. The size of the branching ratio is properly understood within U(3) Chiral Perturbation Theory and Resonance Chiral Theory, in the framework of the 1/Nc…
The two photon decay width of the neutral pion is analyzed within the combined framework of Chiral Perturbation Theory and the 1/Nc expansion up to order p^6 and p^4 times 1/Nc in the decay amplitude. The eta' is explicitly included in the…
We report a preliminary measurement of the slope parameter $\alpha$ for the $\eta\to 3\piz$ decay carried out with KLOE at DA$\Phi$NE; where $\alpha$ is the parameter describing the energy dependence of the square of the matrix element for…
The decays eta/eta' -> pi pi pi and eta' -> eta pi pi are studied up to leading and next-to-leading order within the framework of U_L(3)xU_R(3) Chiral Perturbation Theory. The analysis incorporates important features of the eta-eta' system,…
We present an unitary dispersive model for the $\eta \to 3 \pi$ decay process based upon the Khuri-Treiman equations which are solved by means of the Pasquier inversion method. The description of the hadronic final-state interactions for…
The $\eta \to 3 \pi$ amplitude is sensitive to the quark mass difference $m_u-m_d$ and offers a unique way to determine the quark mass ratio $Q^2 \equiv (m_s^2-m_{ud}^2)/(m_d^2-m_u^2)$ from experiment. We calculate the amplitude…
We calculate the electromagnetic corrections to the decays $\eta \rightarrow 3\pi$ in next to leading order in the chiral expansion. We find that the corrections are small in accordance with Sutherland's theorem and modify neither rate nor…
The process $K_{\ell3}$ is calculated to two-loop order ($p^6$) in Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT) in the isospin conserved case. We present expressions suitable for use with previous work in two-loop CHPT where the order $p^4$ parameters…
We study the decay $\eta'\to\eta\pi\pi$ in two different chiral invariant approaches: Large-$N_c$ Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT) and Large-$N_c$ Resonance Chiral Theory (RChT). We analyze the Dalitz plot and the invariant mass spectra.…
