Title: A dispersive treatment of Kι4 decays

Abstract

Kι4 decays have several features of interest: they allow an accurate measurement of ππ-scattering lengths; the decay is the best source for the determination of some low-energy constants of chiral perturbation theory (χPT); one form factor of the decay is connected to the chiral anomaly. Here, we present the results of our dispersive analysis of Kι4 decays, which provides a resummation of ππ- and Kπ-rescattering effects. The free parameters of the dispersion relation are fitted to the data of the high-statistics experiments E865 and NA48/2. By matching to χPT at NLO and NNLO, we determine the low-energy constants and Lr1, Lr2, and Lr3. In contrast to a pure chiral treatment, the dispersion relation describes the observed curvature of one of the Kι4 form factors, which we understand as an effect of rescattering beyond NNLO.
