The Delta I = 3/2 K to Pi Pi decay amplitude is calculated on RBC/UKQCD 32^3 x 64, L_s=32 dynamical lattices with 2+1 flavors of domain wall fermions using the DSDR and Iwasaki gauge action. The calculation is performed with a single pion…

We consider the rare decay $\eta\to\pi^0\pi^0\gamma\gamma$ and calculate the non-resonant contribution to the amplitude to one loop in Chiral Perturbation Theory. We display our result as both a diphoton energy spectrum and a partial decay…

Based on a sample of $1.31 \times 10^9$ $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector, an amplitude analysis of the isospin-violating decays $\eta^\prime \rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$ and $\eta^\prime \rightarrow \pi^0\pi^0\pi^0$ is…

We discuss implications of recent experimental data for B decays into two pseudoscalar mesons, with emphasis on those with $\eta$ and $\eta'$ in the final states. Applying a U-spin argument, we show that tree and penguin amplitudes, both in…

We study the axion and axion-like particle production from the $\eta\to\pi\pi a$ decay within the $SU(3)$ chiral perturbation theory up to the one-loop level. The conventional $SU(3)$ chiral low energy constants are found to be able to…

We present a model-independent analysis of $K^+\to\pi^+\ell^+\ell^-$ and $K_S\to\pi^0\ell^+\ell^-$ decays, including $K\to 3 \pi$ unitarity corrections and a general decomposition of the dispersive amplitude. From the existing data on…

In this paper, we calculated the branching ratios of the quasi-two-body decays $B \to \eta_c (1S ,2S)$ $[\rho(770), \rho(1450),\rho(1700)\to ] \pi\pi$ by employing the perturbative QCD (PQCD) approach. The contributions from the $P$-wave…

Because of the small size of the ratio A_2/A_0 of the I=2 to I=0 K -> pipi decay amplitudes (the Delta I=1/2 rule) the effects of electromagnetism on A_2 may be a factor of 20 larger than given by a naive O(alpha) estimate. Thus, if future…

$K_{\ell4}$ decays offer several reasons of interest: they allow an accurate measurement of $\pi\pi$-scattering lengths; they provide the best source for the determination of some low-energy constants of ChPT; one form factor is directly…

Different from the previous treatment in a two-body framework, we introduce the dimeson distribution amplitudes (DAs) to describe the strong dynamics between the S-wave resonances $a_0(980, 1450)$ and the $K\bar K (\pi\eta)$ pair, where the…

A subtracted dispersive representation of the $K\pi$ vector form factor, $F_+^{K\pi}$, is used to fit the Belle spectrum of $\tauKpi$ decays incorporating constraints from results on $K_{l3}$ decays. Through the use of three subtractions,…

We consider the impact of isospin violation on the analysis of K-> pi pi decays. We scrutinize, in particular, the phenomenological role played by the additional weak amplitude, of |Delta I|=5/2 in character, incurred by the presence of…

The inverse amplitude method is analysed to two-loop order in the chiral expansion in the case of $\pi\pi$ scattering and the pion form factors. The analysis is mainly restricted to the elastic approximation but the possible extension to…

This talks contains a short introduction to Chiral Perturbation Theory and the existing calculations to two-loop order in the mesonic sector. I include a discussion on which quantities the expansion can be organized in. The present best…

We analyze the spectrum of two- and three-pion states of maximal isospin obtained recently for isosymmetric QCD with pion mass $M\approx 200\;$MeV in Ref. [1]. Using the relativistic three-particle quantization condition, we find $\sim 2…

The renormalized elastic $\pi\pi$ scattering amplitude to one loop is calculated in the chiral limit in the $\sigma$ model and in a Quantum Hadrodynamic model (QHD-III) with vector mesons. It is argued that QHD-III reduces to the linear…
