How Can I Approach D0 → K+ K- Decay for My School Project?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the D0 → K+ K− decay process for a school project. The user seeks assistance in writing the equations for the light cone distribution amplitude (LCDA) and the amplitude equations, noting that the final mesons are semi-scalar rather than vector. They mention having two diagrams for this decay—one tree and one penguin diagram—and recognize the need for six Wilson coefficients to formulate the final amplitude equation. The user also highlights the relevance of LHCb's experimental papers and suggests that their introduction sections contain valuable theoretical references.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of D meson decays
  • Familiarity with light cone distribution amplitudes (LCDA)
  • Knowledge of Wilson coefficients in particle physics
  • Basic concepts of Feynman diagrams, specifically tree and penguin diagrams
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the light cone distribution amplitude (LCDA) for D meson decays
  • Study the application of Wilson coefficients in semi-scalar meson decay processes
  • Examine LHCb experimental papers on D0 → K+ K− decay for theoretical insights
  • Learn about the formulation of amplitude equations in particle physics
USEFUL FOR

Students and researchers in particle physics, particularly those focusing on D meson decays and the application of theoretical frameworks in experimental contexts.

Hi, I am working on D 0 →K+ K− for my school project. I looked for any similar subjects and essays, i could not find this specific decay, i could write the form factors and also effective hamiltonian by myself but unfortunately i have problem writing the equations for LCDA ( light cone distribution amplitude) ( not sure about what i write)and so amplitude equations because my final mesons are semi-scalar and not vector. would you please advise me if you have any sources or if you can help me in this regard? I know i have two diagrams for this decay, one tree and one penguin diagram so i should have 6 Wilson coefficient. But i do not know how to use them to write the final amplitude equation and not sure if i am doing correct.

Any sources and help regarding this decay will be so helpful for me.

LHCb published several experimental papers about this decay (and D0 -> pi pi, delta A_CP is another good keyword to look for), their introduction sections should have appropriate theory references.
