In previous work we have combined the $\pi^-\pi^0$, $2\pi^-\pi^+\pi^0$ and $\pi^-3\pi^0$ spectral data obtained from hadronic $\tau$ decays measured by the ALEPH and OPAL experiments, together with electroproduction data for several of the…
We estimate the density matrix element for the pi^0, eta and eta' production from the vacuum in the large-N_c limit. As a consequence, we find that the QCD axial anomaly leads to highly non-trivial corrections to the usual flavour SU(3)…
We present the ingredients for determining $K^{+}\to\pi^{+}\pi^{0}$ matrix elements via the combination of lattice QCD and chiral perturbation theory ($\chi$PT). By simulating these matrix elements at unphysical kinematics, it is possible…
Firstly, we use the recent ALEPH/OPAL data on the V-A spectral functions for fixing the continuum threshold with which the first and second Weinberg sum rules should be satisfied in the chiral limit. Then, we predict the values of the…
We extend our recent non-perturbative chiral SU(3) coupled channel approach to pion- and photon-induced $\eta$- and $K$-meson production off protons by including all strong and electromagnetic p-wave multipoles. We identify the p-wave…
In these lecture notes the basics of QED corrections to hadronic decays are reviewed with special emphasis on conceptual (e.g. counting and tracking of infrared sensitive logs) rather than numerical aspects. General matters are illustrated…
The hadronic tau decay $\tau^- \to \nu_\tau \eta \pi^- \pi^0$ occurs through V-A weak current. In this decay mode, the vector current contribution is intrinsic parity violating and the axial current contribution is G parity violating. The…
With the newly available data sets on hadronic tau decays from the B-factories BABAR and BELLE, and future data from BESIII, precise information on the decay distributions will soon become available. This calls for an improvement of the…
We determined the NLO chiral low-energy constant $L_{10}$, and various combinations of NNLO chiral low-energy constants employing recently revised ALEPH results for the non-strange vector (V) and axial-vector (A) hadronic tau decay…
Lattice QCD studies of hadron-hadron interactions are performed by computing the energy levels of the system in a finite box. The shifts in energy levels proportional to inverse powers of the volume are related to scattering parameters in a…
The hadronic mass spectrum of inclusive $\bar{B} \to X_s \ell^+ \ell^-$ is investigated at next to leading order in the heavy quark expansion. For mild cuts on the hadronic mass, the expansion, which applies when the cut is released,…
On the one hand any effective action of the QCD, $S[\pi,\,\rho,\,\omega,\ldots,N,\,\overline N,\,\Delta^{3/2},\ldots]$, would involve, at least in principle, a tower of hadronic fields of all spins; on the other hand the front form of the…
In the framework of the factorization and the heavy quark effective theory, $B\to D_2^*\pi$ modes are analyzed. We adopt the result from the QCD sum rule calculation for the hadronic matrix elements at leading order of $\Lambda_{\rm…
With an effective chiral flavour SU(3) model we show the effect of hadronic resonances on the QCD phase diagram. We state that varying the resonance couplings to the scalar and vector fields affects the order and location of the phase…
The hadronic decays eta' -> eta pi pi are studied in the frameworks of large-Nc Chiral Perturbation Theory, at lowest and next-to-leading orders, and Resonance Chiral Theory in the leading 1/Nc approximation. Higher order effects such as…
We calculate $K\to\pi\pi$ matrix elements using periodic boundary conditions as an independent calculation from our previous study with G-parity boundary conditions. We present our preliminary results for $K\to\pi\pi$ three-point functions…
Analyticity and unitarity techniques are employed to obtain bounds on the shape parameters of the scalar and vector form factors of semileptonic $K_{l3}$ decays. For this purpose we use vector and scalar correlators evaluated in pQCD, a low…
Recently, we introduced several dispersive representations for the vector $K\pi$ form factor and fitted them to the Belle spectrum of $\tau \to K \pi \nu_\tau$. Here, we briefly present the model and discuss the results for the slope and…
