Dispersive analysis of the Primakoff reaction $γK \to K π$

We provide a dispersion-theoretical representation of the reaction amplitudes $γK\to K π$ in all charge channels, based on modern pion-kaon $P$-wave phase shift input. Crossed-channel singularities are fixed from phenomenology as far as possible. We demonstrate how the subtraction constants can be matched to a low-energy theorem and radiative couplings of the $K^*(892)$ resonances, thereby providing a model-independent framework for future analyses of high-precision kaon Primakoff data.
