We update the determination of |V_us| using semielectronic and semimuonic decays of K mesons. A modest improvement of 15% with respect to its present value is obtained for the error bar of this matrix element when we combine the four…
In this paper, radiative decays $\rho^0 \to \pi^+\pi^-\gamma, \pi^0\pi^0\gamma$ ,$\phi \to K^+K^-\gamma, K^0 \bar{K^0}\gamma$ are studied systematically in the U(3)$_L\timesU(3)_R$ chiral theory of mesons. The theoretical differential…
The process $K_{\ell3}$ is calculated to two-loop order ($p^6$) in Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT) in the isospin conserved case. We present expressions suitable for use with previous work in two-loop CHPT where the order $p^4$ parameters…
We calculate the branching ratios of the $K^+ \to \pi^0 l^+ \nu_l\gamma (l = e, \mu)$ decays, and the T-odd triple momenta correlations $\xi=\vec{q}\cdot[\vec{p}_l \times \vec{p}_\pi]/M^3_K$, due to the electromagnetic final state…
We perform a complete and systematic calculation of the octet-baryon form factors within the fully covariant approach of SU(3) chiral perturbation theory at O(p^3). We use the extended on-mass shell renormalization scheme, and include…

A subtracted dispersive representation of the $K\pi$ vector form factor, $F_+^{K\pi}$, is used to fit the Belle spectrum of $\tauKpi$ decays incorporating constraints from results on $K_{l3}$ decays. Through the use of three subtractions,…
We study the success to describe hyperon semileptonic decays of four models that incorporate second-order SU(3) symmetry breaking corrections. The criteria to assess their success is by determining V_{us} in each of the three relevant…
KLOE has measured most decay branching ratios of Ks, Kl and K+/- mesons. It has also measured the Kl and the K+- lifetime and determined the shape of the form factors involved in kaon semileptonic decays. We present in the following a…
A model-independent determination of the CKM matrix element V_{us} from five measured strangeness-changing hyperon semileptonic decays is performed. Flavor SU(3) symmetry breaking effects in the leading vector and axial-vector form factors…
Till the middle of 2004 it appeared that the unitarity relation Vud^2+Vus^2+Vub^2=1 might not hold at the 2.3sigma level. At that time, however, Vus was inferred from old experimental data. Since then, a large experimental and theoretical…
We present an analytical calculation of the $\alpha_s$ corrections for the coefficient of $\rho_D/m_Q^3$ term in the heavy quark expansion for the inclusive semileptonic decays of heavy hadrons, such as $B \to X_c \ell \bar{\nu}$. The full…
It is well known that in every experiment involving charged particles there are individual photons emitted with small energy /omega and those with /omega < /omega_{0} will not be detected but are present in the data. The typical procedure…
We calculate the long-distance radiative corrections \delta^e_{LD} and \delta^{\mu}_{LD} to the K^0 -> \pi^- e^+ \nu_e and the K^0 -> pi^- \mu^+ \nu_{\mu} decay rates. This analysis includes contributions to the long-distance radiative…

We investigate radiative corrections to K --> 3 pi decays. In particular, we extend the non-relativistic framework developed recently to include real and virtual photons and show that, in a well-defined power counting scheme, the results…
