Mesonic Low-Energy Constants

Abstract

We review the status of the coupling constants of chiral Lagrangians in the meson sector, the so-called low-energy constants (LECs). We emphasize the chiral (2) and (3) Lagrangians for the strong interactions of light mesons and discuss the theoretical and experimental input for determining the corresponding LECs. In the two-flavor sector, we review the knowledge of the LECs from both continuum fits and lattice QCD analyses. For chiral (3), next-to-next-to-leading-order (NNLO) effects play a much greater role. Our main new results are fits of the LECs at both next-to-leading order (NLO) and NNLO, making extensive use of the available knowledge of NNLO LECs. We compare our results with available lattice determinations. We then discuss resonance saturation of LECs and the convergence of chiral (3) to NNLO. Finally, we review the status of predictions for the LECs of chiral Lagrangians with dynamical photons and leptons.

Keyword(s): chiral perturbation theory, dynamical photons and leptons, lattice QCD, low-energy constants, resonance saturation
