Chiral Corrections to Hyperon Vector Form Factors

Abstract

We show that the leading $SU(3)$-breaking corrections to the $\Delta S=1$ $f_1$ vector form factors of hyperons are $O(m_s)$ and $O(m_s^{3/2})$, and are expected to be $\sim 20$--$30\%$ by dimensional analysis. This is consistent with the Ademollo--Gatto theorem, in a sense that we explain. We compute the $O(m_s)$ corrections and a subset of the $O(m_s^{3/2})$ corrections using an effective lagrangian in which the baryons are treated as heavy particles. All of these corrections are surprisingly small, $\sim 5\%$; combining them, we obtain $\sim 5$--$10\%$ corrections. The pattern of corrections is very different than that predicted by quark models.
