We present some recent measurements of rare flavor-changing neutral current B decays, using data collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II e+e- collider at SLAC. First, we search for the rare process B+ -> K+ tau- tau+ and we do not…

We use rigorous QCD dispersion relations to derive model-independent bounds on the B -> pi l nu, D -> pi l nu and D -> K l nu form factors. These bounds are particularly restrictive when the value of the observable form factor at one or…

The $\tau^- \to \pi^-\eta\nu_{\tau}$ decay is forbidden in the Standard Model in the limit of exact $G$-parity, it becomes a rare decay due to isospin symmetry breaking and it is very sensitive to the effects of effective scalar…

The branching fractions of the decays $\tau \to a_{1} \pi \nu_\tau$, $\tau \to K_{1} \pi \nu_\tau$ and $\tau \to K_{1} K \nu_\tau$ are calculated in the framework of the extended $U(3)\times U(3)$ chiral Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model. There are…

We study possible new physics contributions in $B\to\pi\tau\bar\nu $ and $B\to\tau\bar\nu$ employing the model-independent effective Lagrangian that describes the quark-level transition $b \to u \tau\nu$ at low energies. The decay rate of…

We analyze the possibility of experimental investigation of new low-energy relations between the values of resonance masses in the meson form factors and the differential rate of radiative kaon decay $K^+\to \pi^+ e^+e^-(\mu^+\mu^- )$ at…

We study the $\tau \to \nu_\tau A$ decay, with $A$ an axial-vector meson. We produce the $a_1(1260)$ and $b_1(1235)$ resonances in the Cabibbo favored mode and two $K_1(1270)$ states in the Cabibbo suppressed mode. We take advantage of…
