Theoretical aspects of kaon and muon decays are reviewed. In particular, three topics on kaon and muon decays, namely $K \to \pi\nu \bar{\nu}$ processes, T violation in $K^+ \to \pi^0\mu^+ \nu$ decay and lepton flavor violation in muon…
The radiative corrections to the pure leptonic decay $B_c \to \ell\nu_{\ell}$ up-to one-loop order is presented. How to cancel the infrared divergences appearing in the loop calculations, and the radiative decay $B_c \to…
Rare K decays provide for very clean tests of the Standard Model, and are especially suited to search for New Physics signal. In this talk, recent progresses in the estimation of long-distance effects induced by light quarks in KL to pi0…
Clean tests of a small admixture of right-handed quark currents directly coupled to the standard W are still lacking. We show that such non-standard couplings can be significantly constrained measuring the value of the scalar Kpi form…
