Abstract
- We apply dilaton chiral perturbation theory (dChPT) at next-to-leading order to lattice data from the LatKMI collaboration for the eight-flavor SU(3) gauge theory. In previous work, we found that leading-order dChPT does not account for these data, but that a model extension of leading-order dChPT with a varying mass anomalous dimension describes these data well. Here we calculate the next-to-leading order corrections for the pion mass and decay constant. We focus on these quantities, as data for the dilaton mass are of poorer quality. The application of next-to-leading order dChPT is difficult because of the large number of new low-energy constants, and the results of our fits turn out to be inconclusive. They suggest -- yet cannot firmly establish -- that the LatKMI mass range might be outside the scope of dChPT.<br />Comment: RevTex, 28 pages. Minor changes
