Massless semileptonic pseudoscalar decay rate

ID: massless-semileptonic-pseudoscalar-decay-rate

For a pseudoscalar meson of mass decaying into a pseudoscalar meson of mass and two massless leptons through a weak charged current, the transverse massless leptonic current selects . With hadronic current normalized as and flavour coefficient ,
The Källén function has mass dimension four, and the coefficient has mass dimension . This decay rate assumes the stated form-factor normalization and no additional isospin factor. It follows by the integrated massless leptonic tensor and the pion momentum change of variable in the parent's centre-of-momentum frame.
