Current predictions for the ratio of phi -> K^+K^-/K_LK_S decay rates exceed the corresponding experimental value in about five standard deviations. By far, the dominant sources of isospin breaking to this ratio are the phase-space (52%)…
We have computed the form factors for B --> pi and D --> K(pi) semileptonic decays on the lattice by using full non-perturbative O(a) improvement, in the quenched approximation. Our results are expressed in terms of few parameters which…
The first measurements of the coherence factor R_{K_S^0K\pi} and the average strong--phase difference \delta^{K_S^0K\pi} in D^0 \to K_S^0 K^\mp\pi^\pm decays are reported. These parameters can be used to improve the determination of the…

We perform an amplitude analysis of B+- -> phi(1020) K*(892)+- decay with a sample of about 384 million BBbar pairs recorded with the BABAR detector. Overall, twelve parameters are measured, including the fractions of longitudinal f_L and…
Motivated by recent CELO measurements and the progress of the theory of B decays, we investigate $B\to P V(P=\pi,K. V= K^{*},\rho,\omega)$ decay modes in the framework of QCD improved factorization. We find that all the measured branching…
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…
We analyze the decay $K_L \to \pi^0 \nu \bar \nu$ in a model independent way. If lepton flavor is conserved the final state is (to a good approximation) purely CP even. In that case this decay mode goes mainly through CP violating…
With a sample of $(10087\pm44)\times10^{6}$ $J/\psi$ events accumulated with the BESIII detector, we analyze the decays $\eta'\rightarrow\pi^+\pi^-l^+l^-(l=e,$ $\mu)$ via the process $J/\psi\rightarrow\gamma\eta'$. The branching fractions…
The form factor ratios rv=V(0)/A1(0), r2=A2(0)/A1(0) and r3=A3(0)/A1(0) in the decay D+ --> K* l nu, K* -->K-pi+ have been measured using data from charm hadroproduction experiment E791 at Fermilab. From 3034 (595) signal (background)…
We reexamine, update and extend a suggestion we made fifteen years ago for measuring the photon polarization in $b \to s\gamma$ by observing in $B \to K\pi\pi\gamma$ an asymmetry of the photon with respect to the $K\pi\pi$ plane.…
In the framework of SU(2) singlet down type vectorlike quark model, we present a comprehensive analysis for decays B-> X_s \gamma, B->X_sl^+l^- and B-> K\pi. As for B-> X_s\gamma, we include the QCD running from the mass of the down-type…
Well-known causality arguments show that events occurring during or at the end of inflation, associated with reheating or preheating, could contribute a blue component to the spectrum of primordial curvature perturbations, with the…
We explore the possibility for an evaluation of non-leptonic $\Delta S=1$ $K$ decay amplitudes through the calculation of $K\to\pi$ matrix elements using domain-wall QCD. The relation between the physical $K\to\pi\pi$ matrix elements and…
