Vector Meson Contributions in epsilon'/epsilon

Abstract

The CP violating parameter epsilon'/epsilon is computed using the low-energy dynamics of a chiral theory supplemented by vector resonances. The divergent contributions coming from strong pi-pi scattering are tamed by vector-meson exchange terms. This amounts to softening the fast growing high-energy behaviour of pi-pi scattering. The final result for epsilon'/epsilon shows a smooth dependence on the cut-off where low energy dynamics is matched with that of QCD.
