a → πππ decay at next-to-leading order in chiral perturbation theory

Abstract We discuss the construction of the two-flavour axion-pion effective Lagrangian at the next-to-leading order (NLO) in chiral perturbation theory and present, as a phenomenological application, the calculation of the decay rate of a GeV-scale axion-like particle via the channel a → πππ. Throu...
