Inclusive semileptonic $B\to X_c \ell \bar{\nu}_\ell$ decays, where $\ell = \mu,e$, are by now standard candles in the determination of the CKM element $|V_{cb}|$. These determinations rely on the heavy-quark expansion and use moments of…

The nonleptonic weak $|\Delta S|=1$ $\Lambda N$ interaction, responsible for the dominant nonmesonic decay of all but the lightest hypernuclei, is studied in the framework of an effective field theory. The long-range physics is described…
We study extensions of the Standard Model where the charged current weak interactions are governed by the CKM matrix and where all tree-level decays are dominated by their Standard Model contribution. We constrain both analytically and…
This is the first paper of our systematic efforts on lepton number violating (LNV) hadronic decays in the effective field theory approach. These decays provide information complementary to popular nuclear neutrinoless double-$\beta$…
