Chiral Anomaly in the Reactions Kgamma-->Kpi
Protvino, 2000.-p.13, figs.5, refs.:15.


Implications of the chiral anomaly for the cross sections of the reactions $K^+\gamma \ra K^+\pi^0$, $K^0\gamma \ra K^0\pi^0$, $K^+\gamma \ra K^0\pi^+$, and $K^0\gamma \ra K^+\pi^-$ are investigated. Near the threshold, the contribution of the chiral anomaly dominates the cross sections of the first and the second reactions. These cross sections are compared with the cross sections of the third and the fourth reactions, which receive no contribution from the chiral anomaly. The prospects for an experimental study of the $KK\pi\gamma$ vertex in the Coulomb production of $\pi$ mesons by a $K$ meson beam are discussed.
