We improve, in the energy region between $\bar{K}K$ threshold and $\sim~1.4$ GeV, the energy-dependent phase shift analysis of $\pi\pi$ scattering presented in a previous paper. For the S0 wave we have included more data above $\bar{K}K$…

We reevaluate the $B\to\rho\,l^+\nu_l$ decay width as a full $B\to\pi\pi\,l^+\nu_l$ four-particle decay, in which the two final pions are produced via an intermediate $\rho$ meson. The decay width can be written as a convolution of the…
In the chiral limit of QCD, the pion decay constant F can be extracted from lattice gauge theory by means of a coupling to isospin chemical potential. Here we compute the leading correction due to finite volume in the epsilon-expansion of…
Radiative corrections in the order ${\alpha\over{2\pi}}{{m^2_e}\over m^2_\mu}$ to $\mu $- and ${\alpha\over{2\pi}}{{m^2_\mu}\over m^2_\tau}$ to $\tau $- decays are calculated. The decay width is enhanced by $4.48\cdot 10^{-3}…
We deliver an exploratory lattice QCD examination of the $K^\ast(892)$ meson decay width with the help of the p-wave scattering phase $\delta_1$ of pion-kaon ($\pi K$) system in the isospin $I=1/2$ channel, which are extracted by the…
