The $\eta \to \pi^+ \pi^- \pi^0 \gamma$ decay is discussed in the general context of Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT), assuming that the low--energy constants (counter--terms) are saturated by vector-meson resonances. The $\eta \to \pi^+…
These lectures provide an elementary introduction to Chiral Perturbation Theory, focused on the sector of pseudoscalar meson interactions. Basic concepts and technical methods of this approach are discussed on general grounds and with the…
An analysis of electromagnetic corrections to the (dominant) octet K -> pi pi hamiltonian using chiral perturbation theory is carried out. Relative shifts in amplitudes at the several per cent level are found.
We use one-loop chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) to compare lattice results for the K+ to pi+ pi0 decay amplitude with the experimental value. Three systematic effects: quenching, finite-volume effects, and the use of unphysical values of…
The statement of the authors of the article Phys. Rev. C 77, 065211 (2008) that spurious singularities occur in the dispersion relation approach, where imaginary parts of the amplitudes of the process \gamma\gamma->\pi\pi are saturated by…
Chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) is the effective field theory of the strong interactions at low energies. We will address the issue of a consistent power counting scheme in a manifestly Lorentz-invariant formulation of baryon ChPT. As…
There has recently been an intense activity in the study of finite volume effects by means of chiral perturbation theory. In this contribution I review recent work in this field both for the epsilon-- (Mpi L \lesssim 1) and the p--regime…
We discuss the recent literature on the treatment of final state interactions in K -> pi pi. Various approaches are compared and particular emphasis is given to the possibility of combining dispersive methods with lattice input. Recent…
A brief survey of applications of chiral perturbation theory to both semileptonic and nonleptonic kaon decays is presented. Special emphasis is given to recent theoretical advances related to semileptonic decays, in particular pion pion…
Chiral perturbation theory, the low energy effective theory of the strong interactions for the light pseudoscalar degrees of freedom, is based on effective Lagrangian techniques and is an expansion in the powers of the external momenta and…
We present a calculation of the low energy constants describing the real and imaginary parts of the $K \to \pi \pi$ decay amplitudes $A_0$ and $A_2$. Leading and next leading order chiral perturbation theory is used and its applicability…
I discuss several topics in chiral perturbation theory - in particular, I recall pecularities of the chiral expansion in the baryon sector.
I review recent progress made in the description of pion-nucleon scattering, the $\sigma$--term, the scalar form factor and the strangeness content of the nucleon in the framework of heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory. Other topics are…
Recent progress towards an understanding of the piNN system within chiral perturbation theory is reported. The focus lies on an effective field theory calculation and its comparison to phenomenological calculations for the reaction NN->d…
Calculations of eta->pi^0 pi^0 gamma gamma decay in generalized chiral perturbation theory are presented. Tree level and some of next-to-leading corrections are involved. Sensitivity to the deviations from the standard chiral perturbation…
We give the amplitude for $\gamma\gamma \rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$ in leading order chiral perturbation theory. For the case of real photons we calculate the total and differential cross section. Furthermore, we give the dependence of the…
We present a detailed analysis of S-wave Kpi scattering up to 2 GeV, making use of the resonance chiral Lagrangian predictions together with a suitable unitarisation method. Our approach incorporates known theoretical constraints at low and…
An overview of Chiral Perturbation Theory calculations in the mesonic sector at the two Loop level is given. Discussed in some detail are the partially quenched case relevant for lattice QCD, the general fitting procedures and $\pi\pi$,$\pi…
The progress in determining the coupling constants of mesonic chiral Lagrangians is reviewed, with emphasis on the work performed in three successive European Networks (Eurodaphne I and II, Euridice). Reliable estimates of those constants…
An outstanding problem in the study of possible kaon condensation is the striking discrepancy between the results of chiral perturbation theory and those of the PCAC-plus-current-algebra approach. I discuss here what causes this discrepancy…
