With the full data sample of $772 \times 10^6$ $B{\bar B}$ pairs recorded by the Belle detector at the KEKB electron-positron collider, the decay $\bar{B} \rightarrow D^* \tau^- \bar{\nu}_\tau$ is studied with the hadronic $\tau$ decays…

From the perspective of low energy tau decays and radiative corrections in decays, not much has changed since the last, Tau23 conference. Also, TAUOLA, tau decay library, and PHOTOS for radiative corrections in decays have not changed much,…
We study the radiative pion decay of $\pi ^{+} \to e^{+}\nu_{e}\gamma$ in the chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) and light front quark model (LFQM). The vector and axial-vector hadronic form factors ($F_{V,A}$) for the $\pi\to\gamma$…

We present the first measurement of tau-decays to hadronic final states with a $\phi$-meson. This is based on 401.4 fb$^{-1}$ of data accumulated at the Belle experiment. The branching ratio obtained is $B(\tau^{\pm}\to\phi K^{\pm}\nu) =…
The vector form factor f_+(t) of the semileptonic decay D -> K l nu, measured recently with a high accuracy, can be used to determine the strong coupling constant g_{D_s^* D K}. The latter is related to the normalised coupling \hat{g}…
We find that the normal muon polarization in the decay K->mu nu_mu gamma is very sensitive to the values of the kaon vector F_V and axial-vector F_A form factors. It is shown that the ongoing KEK-E246 experiment can definitely determine the…
