Delta I=3/2, K to Pi Pi matrix elements are calculated on 68 configurations of quenched 24^3 x 64 lattices using the DBW2 action, and domain wall fermions with L_s=16. The lattice spacing is a^(-1)=1.3 GeV, corresponding to a physical…
We present the results of a lattice QCD calculation of the form factor relevant to B-->K*gamma decay. Our final value, T(0) = 0.24 +/- 0.03(+0.04/-0.01), is obtained in the quenched approximation, and by extrapolating T(q2=0;H-->…
We present measurements of R_Kl3rad = Gamma(KL->\pi\ell\nu\gamma; Egcm > 10 MeV)/Gamma(KL->\pi\ell\nu), where ell = mu or e, and Egcm is the photon energy in the kaon rest frame. These measurements are based on KL decays collected in 1997…
We derive an explicit expression for the Lellouch-L\"uscher (LL) factor in the $K\to 3\pi$ decays at leading order (without derivative couplings). Several important technical details are addressed, like a proper decomposition into the…
The electromagnetic form factors, charge radii and decay constants of pion, K and K*(892) are calculated using the three forms of relativistic kinematics: instant form, point form and (light) front form. Simple representations of the mass…
Preliminary values for the K+ -> pi+ mu+ mu- branching ratio and form factor are reported, based on 400 events, a factor of 2 more in total events and 100 times the present world sample of fully reconstructed events. The results are…
Kl3 decays constitute, at present, the golden modes to extract |Vus| from experimental data. Its incertitude is dominated by the theoretical error in the determination of the vector form factor at zero transfer of momentum. I review the…
Measurements of the coherence factor $R_{K3\pi}$, the average strong-phase difference $\delta^{K3\pi}_D$ and mean amplitude ratio $r_D^{K3\pi}$ for the decay $D \to K^-\pi^+\pi^+\pi^-$ are presented. These parameters are important inputs to…
Assuming SU(3) symmetry for the strong phases in the four decay modes $B\rarrow \pi^-\pi^+, \pi^0 \pi^+, \pi^- K^+, \pi^- \bar{K}^0$ and ignoring the relative small electroweak penguin effects in those decays, the weak phase $\gamma$ and…
We calculate the long-distance radiative corrections \delta^e_{LD} and \delta^{\mu}_{LD} to the K^0 -> \pi^- e^+ \nu_e and the K^0 -> pi^- \mu^+ \nu_{\mu} decay rates. This analysis includes contributions to the long-distance radiative…

We present recent preliminary results from five decay channels. From the $K_L\to\pi^+\pi^-\gamma$ channel, we extract form factors for the CP violating M1 direct photon emission amplitude and the fraction of the total decay amplitude that…
Recent data of two-body nonleptonic $B$ meson decays allow a topological-amplitude analysis up to the $O(\lambda^2)$ accuracy, where $\lambda$ denotes the Wolfenstein parameter. We find a solution from the $B\to\pi\pi$ data and a solution…
We investigate the decays $D^0\to\pi^-\ell^+\nu$ and $D^0\to K^-\ell^+ \nu$, where $\ell$ is $e$ or $\mu$, using approximately 7 ${\rm fb}^{-1}$ of data collected with the CLEO III detector. We find $R_0\equiv {\cal B}(D^0\to…

Semileptonic decays $D\to K,K^*,\pi,\rho$, $D_s\to \eta,\eta',\phi$, and $B\to D,D^*,\pi,\rho$ are analyzed within the dispersion formulation of the quark model. The form factors at timelike $q$ are derived by the analytical continuation…
A combined fit is made to E791 data on D->K-pi-pi, LASS data on K-pi elastic scattering, and BES II data on J/Psi->K*(890)-K-pi.In all cases, the K-pi S-wave is fitted well with a kappa resonance and Ko(1430); the kappa requires an…
