After decades of intensive efforts, lattice methods finally revealed one clear source of the large enhancement of the ratio $Re A_0/Re A_2$ \cite{RBC_UKQCD_PRL13}, which has been a puzzle in particle physics for about sixty years. Lattice…

It is proposed to compute matrix elements for the (unphysical) $K^0\pi^-\to \pi^-$ transition to determine the next-to-leading order low energy constants of the weak chiral Lagrangian. This allows us to evaluate $K\to(\pi\pi)_{I=0}$ decay…

Calculations of the elastic $I=\frac{3}{2}$ nucleon-pion scattering phase shifts on two lattice QCD ensembles with $m_\pi=200\mathrm{MeV}$ and $280\mathrm{MeV}$ are presented. The ensembles both employ $N_\mathrm{f} = 2+1$ Wilson clover…

We have calculated the one-loop electroweak corrections to the decay t-> bW+, including the counterterm for the CKM matrix elements V(tb). Previous calculations used an incorrect delta V(tb) that led to a gauge dependent amplitude. However,…
