The Vector and Scalar Form Factors of the Pion to Two Loops

We calculate the vector and scalar form factors of the pion to two loops in Chiral Perturbation Theory. We estimate the unknown O(p^6) constants using resonance exchange. We make a careful comparison to the available data and determine two O(p^4) constants rather precisely, and two O(p^6) constants less precisely. We also use Chiral Perturbation Theory to two loops to extract in a model--independent manner the charge radius of the pion from the available data, and obtain \rpiV=0.437\pm 0.016 fm^2.

Searching for K_L -> pi^0 nu nubar at a Phi-factory

The perspectives of a search for the rare decay $K_L\toπ^0ν\barν$ at a Phi-factory are discussed. After a general analysis, we focus on the realistic case of KLOE and DAFNE, showing that limits of the order of $10^{-9}$ on BR($K_L\toπ^0ν\barν$) are achievable in the next few years. We also discuss the theoretical implications of this kind of measurements.

Report of the Working Group on Goldstone Boson Production and Decay

This is the summary of the working group on Goldstone Boson Production and Decay of the Chiral Dynamics Workshop in Mainz, September 1-5, 1997. For the production aspects we discuss $π^0$ and $η$ production in nucleon-nucleon collisions and the behaviour of hadrons in various sum rules. For the decays we present a discussion on various $K$, $η$ and $π$ decay channels. Other aspects discussed are a new treatment of meson-meson scattering, the light-by-light contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment and progress in various aspects of the $p^6$ generating functional in the mesonic sector.

Quenched Chiral Perturbation Theory to one loop

The divergences of the generating functional of quenched Chiral Perturbation theory (qCHPT) to one loop are computed in closed form. We show how the quenched chiral logarithms can be reabsorbed in the renormalization of the $B_0$ parameter of the leading order Lagrangian. Finally, we do the chiral power counting for the quenched case and show that also finite loop corrections may diverge in the chiral limit.

Pion-pion scattering at low energy

We present technical details of the evaluation of the elastic pi-pi scattering amplitude to two loops in chiral perturbation theory. In particular, we elaborate on the renormalization procedure at the two-loop order and on the evaluation of the relevant Feynman diagrams that can all be expressed in terms of elementary functions. For the sake of clarity, we discuss these matters both in the N-component $ϕ^4$ theory (in its symmetric phase) and in chiral perturbation theory. Estimates for the relevant low-energy constants of $O(p^6)$ are presented. Threshold parameters and phase shifts are then calculated for two sets of $O(p^4)$ coupling constants and compared with experiment. We comment on the extraction of threshold parameters from phase shift data.

Tau Decays and Chiral Perturbation Theory

In a small window of phase space, chiral perturbation theory can be used to make standard model predictions for tau decays into two and three pions. For $τ\to 2πν_τ$, we give the analytical result for the relevant form factor $F_V$ up to two loops, then calculate the differential spectrum and compare with available data. For $τ\to 3 πν_τ$, we have calculated the hadronic matrix element to one loop. We discuss the decomposition of the three pion states into partition states and we give detailed predictions for the decay in terms of structure functions. We also compare with low energy predictions of meson dominance models. Overall, we find good agreement, but also some interesting discrepancies, which might have consequences beyond the limit of validity of chiral perturbation theory.

Elastic $ππ$ scattering to two loops

We evaluate analytically the elastic $ππ$ scattering amplitude to two loops in chiral perturbation theory and give numerical values for the two $S$--wave scattering lengths and for the phase shift difference $δ_0^0-δ_1^1$.

Semileptonic Kaon Decays

We present the matrix elements for the semileptonic kaon decays $K_{l2γ}$ , $K_{l2l^+l^-}$, $K_{l2l'^+l'^-}$,$K_{l3}$, $K_{l3γ}$ and $K_{l4}$ at next-to-leading order, and $K_{e5}$ at leading order in Chiral Perturbation Theory and compare the predictions with experimental data. For $K_{l4}$ decays we estimate yet higher orders in order to reduce theoretical uncertainties in the comparison with the data. Monte Carlo event generators are used to calculate the corresponding rates at DA$Φ$NE. We discuss the possibilities to improve our knowledge of the low-energy structure of the Standard Model at this and similar machines.

$K_{l4}$ - Decays Beyond One Loop

The matrix elements for $K\rightarrow ππłν$ decays are described by four form factors $F,G,H$ and $R$. We complete previous calculations by evaluating $R$ at next-to-leading order in the low-energy expansion. We then estimate higher order contributions using dispersion relations and determine the low-energy constants $L_1,L_2$ and $L_3$ from data on $K_{e4}$ decays and on elastic pion scattering. Finally, we present predictions for the slope of the form factor $G$ and for total decay rates.
