The role of the next-to-leading order triangle-shaped diagram in two-body hadronic decays

The next-to-leading-order contribution to the amplitude of a two-body decay process is a triangle-shaped diagram in which the unstable state is exchanged by the emitted particles. In this work we calculate this diagram in the framework of a scalar quantum field theory and we estimate its role in had...
