Abstract

We present a calculation of the SU(3)-breaking corrections to the hyperon transition vector form factors to O(p(4)) in heavy-baryon chiral perturbation theory with finite-range regularization. Both octet and decuplet degrees of freedom are included. We formulate a chiral expansion at the kinematic point Q(2) = -(M-B1-M-B2)(2), which can be conveniently accessed in lattice QCD. The two unknown low-energy lconstants at this point are constrained by lattice QCD simulation results for the Sigma(-) -> n and Xi(0) -> Sigma(+) transition form factors. Hence, we determine lattice-informed values of f(1) at the physical point. This work constitutes progress toward the precise determination of vertical bar V-us vertical bar from hyperon semileptonic decays.
