The long distance contribution to $K^+ \to \pi^+ \nu {\bar \nu} $ is calculated using chiral perturbation theory. The leading contribution comes from $O(p^4)$ tree terms. The branching ratio of the $O(p^4)$ long distance contribution is…

Distance function to a compact set plays a central role in several areas of computational geometry. Methods that rely on it are robust to the perturbations of the data by the Hausdorff noise, but fail in the presence of outliers. The…

The dominant long-distance contributions to the exclusive radiative decays $B \to \rho (\omega) + \gamma$ involve photon emission from the light quarks at large distances, which cannot be treated perturbatively. We point out that this…
