In particular, we point out that at the present level of experimental accuracy, the value of f π is sensitive to the value of the pion mass chosen in its chiral expansion. The rate at which pions decay is a prominent quantity in many sub-fields of particle physics, such as chiral perturbation theory. This rate is parametrized by the pion decay constant (ƒ π), related to the wave function overlap of the quark and antiquark, which is about 130 MeV. Neutral pion decays.

We stress the importance of preserving the axial-vector Ward-Takahashi identity in any study of the pion itself, and in any study whose goal is The pion decay constant fπ plays a crucial role in many areas of low energy particle physics. Its value may e.g.

Here, we provide comments on several aspects of this evaluation. In particle physics, the pion decay constant is the square root of the coefficient in front of the kinetic term for the pion in the low-energy effective action. It is dimensionally an energy scale and it determines the strength of the chiral symmetry breaking .

Similar predictions, based on the QCD-inspired models and sum rules, also propose remarkably small values for the decay constant of the rst pion excitation f ˇ 1; e.g., [15] proposed the ratio fˇ1 fˇ0 to be of the order of one percent. We perform a fit to three loop order (NNNLO) in Chiral perturbation theory of the pion mass and decay constant. In particular we investigate if the NNNLO fit is an improvement of the fit to two loop order (NNLO) to lattice QCD data, which was done in a lattice gauge group collaboration. We show that the pion gives a dominant contribution to the pion decay constant and the {rho}-meson contribution slightly decreases the critical temperature.
