Study of π0π^{0} and ηη decays containing dilepton

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

We calculate the momentum dependent form factors of P→γ∗γ∗P \to γ^* γ^*(P=π0,ηP=π^{0}, η) within the light-front quark model. Using the form factors, we examine the decays of P→l+l−P \to l^+ l^-, P→l+l−γP \to l^+ l^- γ and P→l+l−l+l−P \to l^+ l^- l^+ l^-(l=el=e or μμ) and compare our results with the experimental data and other theoretical predictions. In particular, for π0→e+e−π^0 \to e^+e^-, we find that the decay branching ratio is 6.68×10−86.68\times 10^{-8}, which is consistent with the recent measurement of (7.48±0.29±0.25)×10−8(7.48\pm0.29\pm0.25)\times 10^{-8} by E799 of KTeV/Fermilab.
