We calculate the ratios R_{e/mu}^{(P)} = Gamma(P -> e nu)/Gamma (P -> mu nu) (P=pi,K) in Chiral Perturbation Theory to order e^2 p^4. We complement the one- and two-loop effective theory results with a matching calculation of the local…

We present a study of tau^- -> K^- pi^+ pi^- nu_tau decay using ~669 /fb data, collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^+ e- collider. The data is recorded at a center-of-mass energy 10.58 GeV. The result for the…

The ratio of branching ratios in leptonic pion decay $R_{\pi} \equiv (\Gamma(\pi^- \to e \nu_e))/(\Gamma(\pi^- \to \mu \nu_\mu))$ is a powerfully sensitive probe of new interactions beyond the electroweak standard model. This is due to the…

The production of W+ W- b bbar from e+ e- collisions at energies close to the t tbar threshold is dominated by the resonant process with a nearly on-shell t tbar intermediate state. The W b pairs in the final state can also be reached…

At this stage of the LHC program, the prospect for a new physics signal in the very rare K ---> pi nu nu bar decays may be dented, but remains well alive thanks to their intrinsic qualities. First, these decays are among the cleanest…

We discuss the complete virtual and soft-photonic O(alpha) corrections to AA -> W+W- within the electroweak Standard Model for arbitrary polarized photons. In the on-shell renormalization scheme for fixed M_W no leading corrections…

This letter is the first report of the KL -> pi+- e-+ nu e+ e- decay. Based on 19208+-144 events, we determine the branching fraction, B(KL -> pi+- e-+ nu e+ e-; Mee > 5 MeV/c^2, E*ee > 30 MeV) = (1.285+-0.041)x10^-5, and Gamma(Ke3ee; Mee…

For the Run 2 of the LHC next-to-leading order electroweak corrections will play an important role. Even though they are typically moderate at the level of total cross sections they can lead to substantial deviations in the shapes of…

Some of the most interesting Higgs-production processes at future e+ e- colliders are of the type e+ e- -> f anti-f H. We present a calculation of the complete O(alpha) corrections to these processes in the Standard Model for final-state…
