Description

Branching ratios BR(ϕK+K) and BR(ϕKL0KS0) are regularly updated in the Review of Particle Physics by the PDG group, and from their 2022 values one finds R=ϕK+K/KL0KS0=1.448±0.023, in disagreement with theoretical estimates. To provide new clues about this discrepancy we extract the value of R from recent cross section measurements of processes e+eK+K and e+eKL0KS0. We achieve this by a common description of both charged and neutral data by the Unitary & Analytic model. This new analysis leads to the value 1.553±0.040 for R, which is significantly larger than the value from PDG 2022 branching ratios, and in a relatively good agreement with theoretical estimates.
