Current algebra; partially conserved axial-vector current hypothesis; kaon-proton interactions; soft pions

A soft-pion study using current algebra and the partially conserved axial vector current (PCAC) hypothesis is made of the kaon-proton interaction processKp →Kp2π⁰. Considering both pions to be soft, the differential rate for the process is normalized to the differential rate of the corresponding process without the pions. Theoretical predictions for the ratio of cross-sections at various kaon momenta are compared with experimental results.
