We estimate the long-distance contribution to the \Delta{\Gamma}s of B_s system, based mainly on two-body D^(*)_s\Dbar^(*)_s modes and three-body D^(*)_s\Dbar^(*)\Kbar^(*) modes (and their CP conjugates). Some higher c\bar{s} resonances are…
We present a calculation for the $K^+\to\pi^+ \pi^0 $ decay amplitude using a quenched simulation of lattice QCD with the Wilson quark action at $\beta=6/g^2=6.1$. The decay amplitude is extracted from the ratio, the $K\to\pi\pi$…
Two pion Decays of K mesons, K_L-K_S mass difference, two photon decay and the Dalitz decays of K_L are studied systematically by assuming that their amplitude can be described in terms of a sum of short distance and long distance…
$K \to \pi$ and $K \to 0$ weak matrix elements of $\Delta S = 1$ operators have been measured in 2+1 flavor domain wall fermion (DWF) QCD on (3 fm)$^3$ lattices with $a^{-1} = 1.73(3)$ GeV. As is well known, using these matrix elements and…
We discuss finite-volume computations of two-body hadronic decays below the inelastic threshold (e.g. $K\to\pi\pi$ decays). The relation between finite-volume matrix elements and physical amplitudes, recently derived by Lellouch and…

We explore application of the domain wall fermion formalism of lattice QCD to calculate the $K\to\pi\pi$ decay amplitudes in terms of the $K\to\pi$ and $K\to 0$ hadronic matrix elements through relations derived in chiral perturbation…
We compute the relation between the pole mass and the kinetic mass of a heavy quark to three loops. Using the known relation between the pole and the $\overline{\rm MS}$ mass we obtain precise conversion relations between the $\overline{\rm…
It is known that the short distance QCD contribution to the mass difference of pions is quadratic on the quark masses, and irrelevant with respect to the long distance part. It is also considered in the literature that its calculation…
We consider the long distance contributions to inclusive penguin processes through processes like $b\rightarrow s V$ and $b\rightarrow d V$ where $V$ are $^3S_1(c\bar c)$ states $\psi_i$ in the former case and include $\rho$, $\omega$ for…
Using the non-relativistic effective field theory framework in a finite volume, we discuss the extraction of the $\Delta N\gamma^*$ transition form factors from lattice data. A counterpart of the L\"uscher approach for the matrix elements…
Based on sum rules, we explore the twist-2 distribution amplitude of the $K_0^*(1430)$ meson, treating it as the ground state of a quark-antiquark system. We posit that the spacetime distance $x$ should be infinitesimally close to the quark…

Heavy-meson semileptonic decays calculations on the lattice are reviewed. The focus is upon obtaining reliable matrix elements. Errors that depend upon the lattice spacing, $a$, are an important source of systematic error. Full $O(a)$…
