    Abstract

    The scalar form factors for the pions and kaons are calculated in SU(3) Chiral Perturbation Theory at order p(6), in the isospin limit m(u)=m(d)=(m) over cap. We find in general sizable corrections of O(p(6)). We use our results to obtain information on the 1/N-c suppressed low energy constants L-4(r) and L-6(r) as well as on two O(p(6)) low energy constants. We present some numerical results for masses and decay constants as well. We derive a relation for the scalar form factors analogous to Sirlin's relation for vector form factors.
