Electromagnetic Corrections to K->pi pi II - Dispersive Matching

Abstract

We express the leading electromagnetic corrections in K-> pi pi amplitudes as integrals over the virtual photon squared-momentum Q^2. The high Q^2 behavior is obtained via the operator product expansion. The low Q^2 behavior is calculated using chiral perturbation theory. We model the intermediate Q^2 region using resonance contributions in order to enforce the matching of these two regimes. The results confirm our previous estimates that the electromagnetic corrections provide a reasonably small shift in the delta I - 3/2 amplitude.
