Kaon form factor in holographic QCD

Abstract

The kaon form factor in the spacelike region is calculated using a holographic QCD model with the "bottom-up" approach. We found that our result for the kaon form factor in low $Q^2$ has a remarkable agreement with the existing data, where $Q^2$ is the four-momentum transfer squared. The charge radius of the kaon, as well as the kaon decay constant, are found to be in a good agreement with the experiment data. We then predict the kaon form factor in the asymptotic region (larger $Q^2$) showing $1/Q^2$ behavior, which is consistent with the perturbative QCD prediction.
