We use these form factors to study the decay of $K^+ \\to e^+ \\nu_{e}\\gamma$, which is dominated by the structure dependent contribution. We show the differential decay branching ratio as a function of $x=2E_\\gamma/m_K$, where $E_\\gamma$ ($m_K$) is the photon energy (kaon mass). Explicitly, we find that, in the standard model with the cut of $x=0.01$ (0.1), the decay branching ratio of $K^+ \\to e^+ \\nu_{e}\\gamma$ is $1.54 (1.44)\\times 10^{-5}$ and $1.57 (1.47)\\times 10^{-5}$ in the LFQM and ChPT, respectively.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2007-12-08T09:29:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "12.39.Fe", "13.20.Eb", "12.39.Ki" ], "keywords": [ "chiral perturbation theory", "light-front quark model", "form factors", "differential decay branching ratio", "structure dependent contribution" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review D", "year": 2008, "month": "Jan", "volume": 77, "number": 1, "pages": "014004" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 764291, "adsabs": "2008PhRvD..77a4004C" } } }
