The mixing angle is expressed by a $K_{1A}\\to K_{1B}$ matrix element induced by the operators that breaks flavor $SU(3)$ symmetry. The QCD contribution to this matrix element is assumed to be dominated and calculated by QCD sum rules. A three-point correlation function is defined and handled both at the hadron and quark-gluon levels. The quark-gluon level calculation is based on operator product expansion up to dimension-5 condensates. A detailed numerical analysis is performed to determine the Borel parameters, and the obtained mixing angle is $\\theta_{K_1}=22^{\\circ}\\pm 7^{\\circ}$ or $\\theta_{K_1}=68^{\\circ}\\pm 7^{\\circ}$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-10-31T13:04:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "qcd sum rules", "matrix element", "mixing angle", "three-point correlation function", "quark-gluon level calculation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
