Abstract:
Motivated by new precise results on several decays, sensitive to the form factor, we present a new analysis of the long-distance amplitude based on a semi-phenomenological approach. Particular attention is devoted to the evaluation of the uncertainties of this method and to the comparison with alternative approaches. Our main result is a conservative upper bound of on , which is compatible with the SM expectation and which provides significant constraints on new-physics scenarios. The possibility to extract an independent short-distance information from future searches on is also briefly discussed.- K0(L): leptonic decay
- K0(S): leptonic decay
- amplitude analysis: short-distance behavior
- Feynman graph: higher-order
- K0(L): branching ratio
- K0(L): radiative decay
- decay: form factor
- quantum chromodynamics: perturbation theory
- numerical calculations
- K0(L) --> muon+ muon-
