摘要:

K介子衰变为π介子和带电轻子/反轻子对的过程是通过中性流的味道变化进行的,因此在标准模型中,这种衰变只能在树能级以上才能被诱导。这种自然的抑制使这些衰变对潜在的新物理学的影响很敏感。然而,CP守恒的$K\toπ\ell^+\ell^-$衰变通道主要由单光子交换,这涉及到相当大的长距离强子贡献,这是目前理论不确定性的主要来源。在这里,我们概述了我们的方法计算的长距离的贡献,这些罕见的衰变振幅使用晶格QCD和提出的数值结果的第一次探索性研究,这些衰变中,所有的,但断开图进行评估。使用RBC和UKQCD合作的畴壁费米子系综,π介子质量为$M_π\sim 430\,\mathrm{MeV}$,K介子质量为$M_{K}\sim 625\,\mathrm{MeV}$。特别是,我们确定的形状因子,$V(z)$,$K^+\toπ^+\ell^+\ell^-$衰减从晶格在小值的$z=q^2/M_{K}^{2}$,获得$V(z)=1.37(36),\, 0.68(39),\, 0.96(64)$的三个值的$z=-0.5594(12),\, -1.0530(34),\, -1.4653(82)$分别。

英文摘要:

The rare decays of a kaon into a pion and a charged lepton/antilepton pair proceed via a flavour changing neutral current and therefore may only be induced beyond tree level in the Standard Model. This natural suppression makes these decays sensitive to the effects of potential New Physics. The CP conserving $K\toπ\ell^+\ell^-$ decay channels however are dominated by a single photon exchange; this involves a sizeable long-distance hadronic contribution which represents the current major source of theoretical uncertainty. Here we outline our methodology for the computation of the long-distance contributions to these rare decay amplitudes using lattice QCD and present the numerical results of the first exploratory studies of these decays in which all but the disconnected diagrams are evaluated. The domain wall fermion ensembles of the RBC and UKQCD collaborations are used, with a pion mass of $M_π\sim 430\,\mathrm{MeV}$ and a kaon mass of $M_{K}\sim 625\,\mathrm{MeV}$. In particular we determine the form factor, $V(z)$, of the $K^+\toπ^+\ell^+\ell^-$ decay from the lattice at small values of $z=q^2/M_{K}^{2}$, obtaining $V(z)=1.37(36),\, 0.68(39),\, 0.96(64)$ for the three values of $z=-0.5594(12),\, -1.0530(34),\, -1.4653(82)$ respectively.
