We consider the scalar form factor in $\tau \to K\pi \nu_\tau$ decays. It receives contributions both from the scalar resonance $K_0^*(1430)$ and from the scalar projection of off-shell vector resonances. We construct a model for the…
We propose a new method to evaluate the Lellouch-L\"uscher factor which relates the $\Delta I=3/2$ $K\to\pi\pi$ matrix elements computed on a finite lattice to the physical (infinite-volume) decay amplitudes. The method relies on the use of…
Bounds on the shape parameters of K_{l3} form factors are investigated in a general model independent framework. Using the method of unitarity bounds for correlators evaluated in pQCD, chiral symmetry and experimental information on the…
We analyse the $\overline B_s^0\to K^+l^-\bar \nu$ and $\overline B_s^0\to K^{*+}(\to K\pi) \ell^-\bar \nu$ decays that are valuable for extracting the CKM matrix element $|V_{ub}|$. We calculate the differential and integrated partial…
K* mesons and in particular the K*(892) were frequently addressed in lattice simulations, but always while ignoring that the K*(892) decays strongly. We present an exploratory extraction of the masses and widths for the K* resonances by…
The decay K- -> pi0 e- nu has been studied using in-flight decays detected with "ISTRA+" setup operating at the 25 GeV negative secondary beam of the U-70 PS. About 130K events were used for the analysis. The lambda_+ parameter of the…
The $\tau$ lepton decays $\tau \to [K^- K^0 \pi^0, K^- K^+ \pi^-, K ^0 \bar{K^0} \pi^-] \nu_{\tau}$ are described in the $U(3) \times U(3)$ NJL quark model. The contact channel and intermediate channels with axial-vector, vector and…
The shape of the vector and scalar K_{l3} form factors is investigated by exploiting analyticity and unitarity in a model-independent formalism. The method uses as input dispersion relations for certain correlators computed in perturbative…
In previous work we have combined the $\pi^-\pi^0$, $2\pi^-\pi^+\pi^0$ and $\pi^-3\pi^0$ spectral data obtained from hadronic $\tau$ decays measured by the ALEPH and OPAL experiments, together with electroproduction data for several of the…
We present preliminary results of a partial-wave analysis of $\tau^-\to\pi^-\pi^-\pi^+\nu_\tau$ in data from the Belle experiment at the KEKB $\mathrm{e}^+\mathrm{e}^-$ collider. We demonstrate the presence of the $\mathrm{a}_1(1420)$ and…
Using 214 fb-1 of data recorded by the Babar detector at the PEPII electron-positron collider, we study the decay Ds+ --> K+ K- e+ nu. Except for a small S-wave contribution, the events with K+K- masses in the range 1.01-1.03 GeV/c2…
We calculate the vector form factor in K \to \pi l \nu semileptonic decays at zero momentum transfer f_+(0) from numerical simulations of two-flavor QCD on the lattice. Our simulations are carried out on 16^3 \times 32 at a lattice spacing…
We study the hadronic form factors of $\tau$ lepton decays $\tau \to K \pi(\eta) \nu$. We compute one loop corrections to the form factors using the chiral Lagrangian including vector mesons. The counterterms which subtract the divergence…
A new approach to the analysis of three body decays is presented. Model-independent results are obtained for the \swave $K\pi$ amplitude as a function of $K\pi$ invariant mass. These are compared with results from $\Km\pip$ elastic…
We simulate K pi scattering in s-wave and p-wave for both isospins I=1/2, 3/2 using quark-antiquark and meson-meson interpolating fields. We extract the elastic phase shifts delta at several values of the K-pi relative momenta. The…
We present a study of tau->pipipinu, tau->Kpipinu, tau->KKpinu, and tau->KKKnu decays using a 666 fb-1 data sample collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider at and near a center-of-mass energy of 10.58…
The decays $\tau^-\to K^-\eta\nu_\tau$ and $K^-\eta^\prime\nu_\tau$ are studied in the context of Chiral Perturbation Theory supplemented with the explicit inclusion of resonances. For the required vector-form factors we have explored three…
