Existing data on the $e^+e^-\to K^+K^-$ cross section at the center-of-mass energy above 2.6 GeV are fitted with a sum of $\psi(3770)$ resonant and continuum contributions. Two solutions for the resonance production cross section are found…
We show that $\phi$ radiative decays into scalar mesons [$f_0$(975), $a_0$(980)$\equiv S$] can provide important clues on the internal structures of these mesons. Radiative decay widths vary widely: $B.R.=10^{-4}-10^{-6}$ depending on the…
We describe the influence of electromagnetism on the phenomenology of K -> pi pi decays. This is required because the present data were analyzed without inclusion of electromagnetic radiative corrections, and hence contain several…
Electromagnetic form factors serve to explore the intrinsic structure of nucleons and their strangeness partners. For the decay $\Sigma^0\to\Lambda e^+e^-$, due to limited phase space, the effects caused by the Sigma-to-Lambda transition…
We discuss the predictions of the standard model for the scalar form factors of Kl3 decays. Our analysis is based on the results of chiral perturbation theory, large Nc estimates of low-energy couplings and dispersive methods. It includes a…
Using 214 fb-1 of data recorded by the Babar detector at the PEPII electron-positron collider, we study the decay Ds+ --> K+ K- e+ nu. Except for a small S-wave contribution, the events with K+K- masses in the range 1.01-1.03 GeV/c2…

We perform a complete analysis of isospin breaking in K -> Pi Pi amplitudes in chiral perturbation theory, including both strong isospin violation and electromagnetic corrections to next-to-leading order in the low-energy expansion. The…
The $K\to\pi\pi$ decay amplitudes are studied within the framework of generalized factorization in which the effective Wilson coefficients are gauge-invariant, renormalization-scale and -scheme independent while factorization is applied to…
We study the rare kaon decays in the framework of general SUSY models. Unlike the results in the literature, we find the contributions from the gluino exchange to the branching ratio of $K^+\to \pi^+ \nu \bar{\nu}$ can reach the central…
The leading-order electromagnetic and strong isospin-breaking corrections to the ratio of $K_{\mu 2}$ and $\pi_{\mu 2}$ decay rates are evaluated for the first time on the lattice, following a method recently proposed. The lattice results…
Based on explicitly gauge invariant interpolating operators we compute complete next-leading order QED-corrections for leptonic decays. These are sizeable since the helicity-suppression in V-A interactions allows for structure-dependent…
A broad peaking structure is observed in the dimuon spectrum of $B^+ \to K^+ \mu^+\mu^-$ decays in the kinematic region where the kaon has a low recoil against the dimuon system. The structure is consistent with interference between the…

We propose a description of the $K^+$, $K_S$ radiative decay form factors $W_+$, $W_S$ based on general properties of analyticity and unitarity. Starting from the simple consideration of the asymptotic behaviour of the two combinations…
We calculate the branching ratios and CP asymmetries of the $B\to \phi K$ decays using perturbative QCD approach, which includes $k_T$ and threshold resummations. Our results of branching ratios are consistent with the experimental data and…

The ratio of $K_S K_S$ ($K_L K_L$) and $K_S K_L$ production rates is calculated by considering $K^0 - K^0bar$ oscillation in $J/\psi \to K^0K^0bar$ decay. The theoretical uncertainty due to strong interaction in $J/\psi$ decay is completely…
