Recently, we developed a strategy to analyse the B -> pi pi,pi K data. We found that the B -> pi pi measurements can be accommodated in the Standard Model (SM) through large non-factorizable effects. On the other hand, our analysis of the…

We investigate leptonic decays $D_s \to \tau \nu_\tau$ and $B^+ \to \tau \nu_\tau$ in R-parity violating (RPV) supersymmetric standard model. Taking account of interference between the s-channel slepton exchange and the $t$-channel squark…
The radiative and leptonic decays of $\eta_c\to \gamma\gamma$ and $\eta_c\to l^+l^-$ are studied. For $\eta_c\to \gamma\gamma$ decay, the second-order electromagnetic tree-level diagram gives the leading contribution. The decay rate of…
The ratio of the leptonic charged kaon decays $R_K= \Gamma(K^{\pm} \to e^{\pm}\nu) / \Gamma(K^{\pm} \to \mu^{\pm}\nu)$ is sensitive to the structure of the week interactions and can be precisely calculated within the Standard Model.…
The widths for $\pi\pi$ decay of the L=1 charm mesons are calculated by describing the pion coupling to light constituents quarks by the lowest order chiral interaction. The wavefunctions of the charm mesons are obtained as solutions to the…
We have determined $R_{\tau/P}\equiv \Gamma(\tau \to P \nu_\tau [\gamma]) / \Gamma(P \to\mu \nu_\mu[\gamma])$ ($P=\pi, K$). Whereas $P$ decays are calculated by using Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT), $\tau$ decays have been studied with…
A global fit to the shape of the first QCD Laplace sum rule exhibiting sensitivity to pion-resonance [$\Pi (1300)$] parameters is performed, leading to predictions for the pion-resonance mass and decay constant. This fit leads to…
Using Chiral Perturbation Theory to properly account for the dynamics of nonleptonic $K\to 2\,\pi$ decays, we found the Standard Model prediction for the CP violating ratio $\mbox{Re}\left(\varepsilon'/\varepsilon\right)=\left(14\pm…
We review here the physics of purely leptonic decays of pi-, K-, D+, Ds+, and B- pseudoscalar mesons. The measured decay rates are related to the product of the relevant weak interaction based CKM matrix element of the constituent quarks…
We present a calculation of the rare decay modes D^0 -> e^+ e^- gamma and D^0 -> mu^+ mu^- gamma in the framework of Standard Model. For the short distance part, we have derived QCD corrections to the Wilson coefficients involved, including…
Rare $K \to \pi \nu \bar \nu$ decays, being dominated by short distance contributions within the Standard Model (SM), open a window for New Physics (NP) searches at low energies. The $ K \to \pi \nu \bar\nu $ branching ratios are expected…
Independent of assumptions about the form of the quark-antiquark scattering kernel we derive the explicit relation between the pion Bethe-Salpeter amplitude, Gamma_pi, and the quark propagator in the chiral limit; Gamma_pi necessarily…
The most recent measurements of the observables $R_{D^{(*)}}$ are in tension with the Standard Model offering hints of New Physics in $b\rightarrow c \ell \bar{\nu}_{\ell}$ transitions. Motivated by these results, in this work we present an…
The Standard-Model interpretation of the ratios of charged and neutral B-> pi K rates, R_c and R_n, respectively, points towards a puzzling picture. Since these observables are affected significantly by colour-allowed electroweak (EW)…
