Abstract

We reevaluate the two form factors relevant for the second-class decay mode, making systematic use of analyticity, unitarity, combined with updated inputs to the NLO chiral constraints. We focus, in particular, on the shape of the resonance peak which is a background-free signature of a second-class current. Its dispersive construction requires the scattering amplitude which we derive from a family of Khuri-Treiman equations solutions constrained with accurate recent results on the Dalitz plot.
