During the last fifteen years B_{s,d} decays, B_{s,d}^0-\bar B^0_{s,d} mixings, CP-violating asymmetries S_{\psi K_S} and S_{\psi\phi} provided the dominant information about the pattern of flavour violation within the SM and its…

Recent results on the kaon rare decays measured in NA48 experiment at CERN are presented.
K* mesons and in particular the K*(892) were frequently addressed in lattice simulations, but always while ignoring that the K*(892) decays strongly. We present an exploratory extraction of the masses and widths for the K* resonances by…
We report a search for the decays $B^0\to K^{*0} \overline{K}{}^{*0}$ and $B^0\to K^{*0} K^{*0}$. We also measure other charmless decay modes with $K^+\pi^-K^-\pi^+$ and $K^{+}\pi^{-}K^{+}\pi^{-}$ final states. The results are obtained from…
Branching fraction and asymmetry measurements of charmless $B^+\to K^{*+}h^+_1h^-_2$ (where $h_{1,2}$ = $K$, $\pi$) decays are presented, using a data sample of 232 million $\Upsilon(4S) \to$ $BB$ decays collected with the BaBar detector at…
We present measurements of the branching fractions for the charmless two-body decays $\Bz\to\pip\pim$ and $\Bz\to\Kp\pim$, and a search for the decay $\Bz\to\Kp\Km$. We include the effects of final-state radiation from the daughter mesons…
We report improved measurements of branching fractions for $B\to K\pi$, $\pi^+\pi^-$, $\pi^+\pi^0$ and $K\bar{K}$ decays based on a data sample of 85.0 million $B\bar{B}$ pairs collected at the $\Upsilon (4S)$ resonance with the Belle…
We present updated measurements of branching fractions and CP-violating asymmetries for neutral B meson decays to two-body final states of charged pions and kaons. The results are obtained from a data sample of about 60 million Y(4S) -->…
We quantify the important effect of strong final state interactions in the weak $K\to 2\pi$ amplitudes, using the measured $\pi$-$\pi$ phase shifts with J=0 and $I=0,2$. The main results of this analysis, with their implications for…
$K\pi$ scattering and $K_{\mu 4}$ decays are studied at leading order of improved chiral perturbation theory. It is shown that high precision $K_{\mu 4}$ experiments at, e.g., DA$\Phi$NE should allow for a direct measurement of the quark…
Data on Ke4 decays allow one to extract experimental information on the elastic pi pi scattering amplitude near threshold, and to confront the outcome of the analysis with predictions made in the framework of QCD. These predictions concern…
Recent experimental data for the differential decay distribution of the decay $\tau^-\to\nu_\tau K_S\pi^-$ by the Belle collaboration are described by a theoretical model which is composed of the contributing vector and scalar form factors…
In this paper I will describe the search for rare kaon decay processes $K^+\to \pi^+ \nu \bar\nu$ and $K^0_L \to \pi^0 \nu \bar\nu$. The small decay rate for these processes is considered a key prediction of the standard model. We searched…
Using data collected by the FOCUS experiment at Fermilab, we report the discovery of the decay modes D^0 --> K- pi+ pi+ pi+ pi- pi- and D^0 --> pi+ pi+ pi+ pi- pi- pi-. With a sample of 48 +/- 10 reconstructed D^0 --> K- pi+ pi+ pi+ pi- pi-…
We report on the measurement of the direct emission (DE) and interference (INT) terms of the K\pm -> \pi\pm\pi^0 g decay by the NA48/2 experiment at the CERN SPS. From the data collected during 2003 and 2004 about 600k such decay candidates…

Meson decays offer a good opportunity to probe new physics. The rare kaon decay $K^+ \rightarrow \pi^+ \nu\bar{\nu}$ is one of the cleanest of them and, for this reason, is rather sensitive to new physics, in particular, vector mediators.…
