Scalar form factors $f_{\pi\pi}(Q^2)$ and $f_{KK}(Q^2)$ with light-cone QCD sum rules

Abstract

In this article, we calculate the scalar form-factors $f_{\pi\pi}(Q^2)$ and $f_{KK}(Q^2)$ in the framework of the light-cone QCD sum rules approach. The numerical value of the $f_{\pi\pi}(Q^2)$ changes quickly with variation of $Q^2$ near zero momentum transfer, while the $f_{KK}(Q^2)$ has rather good behavior at small momentum transfer. The value $f_{KK}(0) =2.21^{+0.35}_{-0.19} GeV$ is compatible with the result from the leading order chiral perturbation theory. At large momentum transfer with $Q^2> 6GeV^2$, the form-factor $f_{\pi\pi}(Q^2)$ takes up the asymptotic behavior $\frac{1}{Q^2}$ approximately, while the $f_{KK}(Q^2)$ decreases more quickly than $\frac{1}{Q^2}$.
