CALCULATIONS OF SOME PROPERTIES OF THE KAON

The wave functions of the bound state of the charged kaon are obtained from Bethe-Salpeter equation with the phenomenological vector-vector- type flat-bottom potential. The physical spacelike electromagnetic for m factor of the charged kaon is calculated from the wave functions. Th e radius of the kaon is given from the electromagnetic form factor. Th e decay constant f(K) of the kaon is estimated by the relationship bet ween the decay constant and the normalization factor derived from the axial-vector Ward identity. All calculated results give a good fit to the experimental values.
