$\chi_{c0}$, $\chi_{c1}$, and $\chi_{c2}$ decays to $\pi^+\pi^-K^0_SK^0_S$ and $K^+K^-K^0_SK^0_S$, as well as $\psi(2S)$ decay to $\pi^+\pi^-K^0_SK^0_S$ are presented. The branching fractions of these decay channels are determined using…
We report a first, complete lattice QCD calculation of the long-distance contribution to the $K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar{\nu}$ decay within the standard model. This is a second-order weak process involving two four-Fermi operators that is highly…
In Ref [1] we have presented the results of an exploratory lattice QCD computation of the long-distance contribution to the $K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar{\nu}$ decay amplitude. In the present paper we describe the details of this calculation, which…

Using data from the FOCUS (E831) experiment at Fermilab, we present a new measurement for the branching ratios of the Cabibbo-suppressed decay modes D0-->Pi-Pi+ and D0-->K-K+. We measured: Gamma(D0-->K-K+)/Gamma(D0-->Pi-Pi+) = 2.81 +/-…
The NA48 collaboration has measured the amplitude of the CP-conserving component of the decay KS --> pi+ pi- pi0 relative to KL --> pi+ pi- pi0. For the characteristic parameter lambda, the values Re(lambda) = 0.038 +/-0.010 and Im(lambda)…

$K^{+}\rightarrow\pi^{+}\nu\overline{\nu}$ is one of the theoretically cleanest meson decay where to look for indirect effects of new physics complementary to LHC searches. The NA62 experiment at CERN SPS is designed to measure the…

In this work we study the quasi-two-body decays $B\to K^*\gamma\to K\pi\gamma$ in the perturbative QCD (PQCD) approach. The two-meson distribution amplitudes (DAs) are introduced to describe the final state interactions of the $K\pi$ pair,…
The ratio $R_K = \Gamma(K^{\pm}\to e^{\pm}\nu(\gamma)) / \Gamma(K^{\pm}\to\mu^{\pm}\nu(\gamma))$ provides a powerful probe of the structure of weak interactions. It is calculated with very high precision within the Standard Model, but…
Recent hadronic charm decay results from fixed-target experiments are presented. New measurements of the D0 to K-K+K-pi+ branching ratio are shown as are recent results from Dalitz plot fits to D+ to K-K+pi+, pi+pi-pi+, K-pi+pi+, K+pi-pi+…
The rare kaon decay $K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar{\nu}$ is an ideal process in which to search for signs of new physics and is the primary goal of the NA62 experiment at CERN. In this paper we report on a lattice QCD calculation of the long-distance…
We suggest that the decay modes of kaons with a pion and a pionium ($\pi^+\pi^-$ atom) in the final state can constitute a not yet considered background to the very rare decay $K\to\pi\nu\bar\nu$. In fact, a part of pioniums may escape the…
