Application of Bayesian statistics to the sector of decay constants in three-flavour ChPT

The sector of decay constants of the octet of light pseudoscalar mesons in the framework of ‘resummed’ $SU(3)$ chiral perturbation theory is investigated. A theoretical prediction for the decay constant of $\eta$-meson is compared to a range of available determinations. Compatibility of these determinations with the latest fits of the $SU(3)$ low energy coupling constants is discussed. Using a Bayesian statistical approach, constraints on the low energy coupling constants $L_4^r$ and $L_5^r$, as well as higher order remainders to the decay constants $F_K$ and $F_{\eta }$, are extracted from the most recent experimental and lattice QCD inputs for the values of the decay constants.
