Mirror matter admixtures in K_L \to γγ

Abstract

Based on possible albeit tiny, admixtures of mirror matter in ordinary mesons we study the K_L \to γγtransition. We find that this process can be described with a small SU(3) symmetry breaking of only 3%. We also determine the eta-eta' mixing angle and the pseudoscalar decay constants. The results for these parameters are consistent with some obtained in the literature. They favor two recent determinations; one based on two analytical constraints, and another one based on next-to-leading order power corrections.
