摘要:We present results of an exploratory study of flavor SU(3) breaking effects in hyperon beta decays
using domain wall fermions. From phenomenological point of view, the significance of this
subject is twofold: (1) to extract the element Vus of the Cabibbo-Kabayashi-Maskawa mixing matrix
from the DS = 1 decay process, and (2) to provide vital information to analysis of the strange
quark fraction of the proton spin with the polarized deep inelastic scattering data. In this study, we
explore the X0 !S+ beta decay, which is highly sensitive to the SU(3) breaking since this decay
corresponds to the direct analogue of neutron beta decay under an exchange between the down
quark and the strange quark. We expose the SU(3) breaking effect on gA/gV = g1(0)/ f1(0) up to
the first order in breaking. The second-class form factors g2 and f3, of which non-zero values are
the direct signals of the SU(3) breaking effect, are also measured. Finally, we estimate f1(0) up
to the second-order correction and then evaluate |Vus| combined with the KTeV experiment.
