5.2 Matrix elements

The matrix element for is

 

where

 

and . The matrix elements for the other channels (5.2,5.3) may be obtained from (5.11,5.12) by isospin symmetry, see below.

The form factors F,G,R and H are real analytic functions of the three variables , and . Below, we will use instead the variables or .

Remark: In order to agree with the notation used by Pais and Treiman [52] and by Rosselet et al. [53], we have changed our previous convention [54,55] in the definition of the anomaly form factor H. See also the comments after Eq. (5.21).
