We consider the scalar form factor in $\tau \to K\pi \nu_\tau$ decays. It receives contributions both from the scalar resonance $K_0^*(1430)$ and from the scalar projection of off-shell vector resonances. We construct a model for the…
We perform a combined study of the two hadronic decays $D^+\to K^-\pi^+\pi^+$ and $D_s^+\to K^+K^+\pi^-$ using a detailed analysis of the semileptonic decays $D^+\to K^-\pi^+ \ell^+\nu_\ell$ ($\ell=e, \mu$) thanks to the high-statistics…
A model for S-wave $\eta\pi$ scattering is proposed which could be realistic in an energy range from threshold up to above one GeV, where inelasticity is dominated by the $K\bar{K}$ channel. The $T$-matrix, satisfying two-channel unitarity,…

Recent ALEPH/OPAL data on the V-A spectral functions from hadronic tau decays are used for fixing the QCD continuum threshold at which the first and second Weinberg sum rules should be satisfied in the chiral limit, and for predicting the…

The inclusion of electromagnetism in a low energy effective theory is worth further study in view of the present high precision experiments (muon g-2, pi_0->2 gamma, tau decays, etc.). In particular in many applications of chiral…
Working with Resonance Chiral Theory, within the two resonance multiplets saturation scheme, we satisfy leading (and some subleading) chiral and asymptotic QCD constraints and accurately fit simultaneously the $\pi^{0},\eta,\eta^{\prime}$…
Lattice matrix elements are briefly reviewed. In the quenched approximation $f_B$, $B_B$ and $B_K$ are now under good control. Experimental hints for $f^{\rm expt}_{D_S}> f^{\rm QQCD}_{D_S}$ are noted; precise determination of $f_{D_S}$…
The $SU(2)$ unitary matrix $U$ employed in hadronic low-energy processes has both exponential and analytic representations, related by $ U = \exp\left[ i \mathbf{\tau} \cdot \hat{\mathbf{\pi}} \theta\,\right] = \cos\theta I + i…

The $\eta \to 3\pi$ decays are a valuable source of information on low energy QCD. Yet they were not used for an extraction of the three flavor chiral symmetry breaking order parameters until now. We use a Bayesian approach in the framework…
Third order chiral perturbation theory accounts for the $\pi-N$ scattering phase shift data out to energies slightly below the position of the $\Delta$ resonance. The low energy constants are not accurately determined. Explicit inclusion of…
We study the disintegration $\tau^- \to \pi^-\ell^+\ell^-\nu_\tau$, where $l$ denotes either an electron or a muon. This process requires knowledge about the $W^*\gamma^*\pi$ interaction, which is modeled using Resonance Chiral Theory.…
