K pi vector form factor constrained by tau ---> K pi nu_tau and K_l3 decays

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

Dispersive representations of the Kpi vector and scalar form factors are used to fit the spectrum of tau ---> K pi nu_tau obtained by the Belle collaboration incorporating constraints from results for K_l3 decays. The slope and curvature of the vector form factor are obtained directly from the data through the use of a three-times-subtracted dispersion relation. We find λ+′=(25.49±0.31)×10−3λ_+'=(25.49 \pm 0.31) \times 10^{-3} and λ+"=(12.22±0.14)×10−4λ_+"= (12.22 \pm 0.14) \times 10^{-4}. From the pole position on the second Riemann sheet the mass and width of the K∗(892)±K^*(892)^{\pm} are found to be mK∗(892)±=892.0±0.5m_{K^*(892)^\pm}=892.0\pm 0.5~MeV and ΓK∗(892)±=46.5±1.1Γ_{K^*(892)^\pm}=46.5\pm 1.1~MeV. The phase-space integrals needed for K_l3 decays are calculated as well. Furthermore, the Kpi isospin-1/2 P-wave threshold parameters are derived from the phase of the vector form factor. For the scattering length and the effective range we find respectively a11/2 =(0.166±0.004) mπ−3a_{1}^{1/2}\,= ( 0.166\pm 0.004)\,m_π^{-3} and b11/2 =(0.258±0.009) mπ−5b_{1}^{1/2}\,=( 0.258\pm 0.009)\,m_π^{-5}.
