Taking into account the recent measurements of the branching ratios and CP asymmetries in the $B \to \pi\pi$ decays by the BABAR and BELLE collaborations, an amplitude analysis based on the isospin symmetry is reported. These data allow to…
In the standard model, direct CP-violating asymmetries for $B^\pm \to \pi^\pm K$ are roughly 2% based on perturbative calculation. Rescattering effects might enhance it to at most (20-25)%. We show that lepton-number-violating couplings in…
In this work, we revisit the isospin violating decays of $X(3872)$ in a coupled-channel effective field theory. In the molecular scheme, the $X(3872)$ is interpreted as the bound state of $\bar{D}^{*0}D^0/\bar{D}^0D^{*0}$ and…
Because of their small electromagnetic corrections, the isospin-breaking decays $\eta\to3\pi$ seem to be good candidates for extracting isospin-breaking parameters $ (m_d-m_u)$. This task is unfortunately complicated by large chiral…
Within the framework of the Top-color-assisted Technicolor (TC2) model, we calculate the new physics contributions to the branching ratios $\calb(B_{s,d} \to \gamma \gamma)$ and CP violating asymmetries $\rcpm(B_{s,d} \to \gamma \gamma)$ in…
We revisit the isospin-breaking corrections relating the $e^+e^-$ hadronic cross-section and the tau decay spectral function, focusing on the di-pion channel, that gives the dominant contribution to the hadronic vacuum polarization piece of…
We propose a new method to extract the CKM phase angle \gamma (\equiv \phi_3) from the isospin analysis in B \to K \pi decays. Unlike previously proposed methods, we do not employ flavor SU(3) symmetry, so that this method is free from the…
CPT-odd effects on the neutrino charge radius are studied within the Standard Model Extension. We consider CPT violation from the electroweak Yang-Mills sector, characterized by Lorentz-violating coefficients $(k_1)_\mu$ and $(k_2)_\mu$,…
QCD sum rules for decay constants of heavy mesons with $u$ or $d$ quark yield for $B$ mesons much less isospin breaking than lattice QCD but good agreement for $D$ mesons.
Strong isospin-breaking (IB) effects in CP-even and CP-odd K-->pi pi decays are computed to next-to-leading order (NLO) in the chiral expansion. The impact of these corrections on the magnitude of the Delta I=1/2 Rule and on the size of the…
Recently, we have applied for the first time the angular momentum and isospin projected nuclear density functional theory to calculate the isospin-symmetry breaking (ISB) corrections to the superallowed beta-decay. With the calculated set…
The CP-violating charge asymmetry in decays K+- --> \pi+- \gamma\gamma, which is induced by the electromagnetic penguin operators, has been studied both in thestandard model and in its extensions. Because of a large enhancement of the…
Isospin violation effects in nuclei are investigated within a microscopic approach which takes into account the influence of the residual strong interaction on the Coulomb interaction. The renormalization of the off-diagonal Coulomb field…
The decays $\mu \rightarrow e \gamma$, $\mu \rightarrow e \gamma \gamma$, and $\mu \rightarrow e e \bar e$ are analysed in the framework of the Pati-Salam type quark-lepton symmetry $SU(4)_V \otimes SU(2)_L \otimes G_R$ where the effects of…
The electroweak corrections at the order of $O(\alpha_{ew}m_{t(b)}^2/m_W^2)$ to the partial widths of the $\tilde{t}_2 \to \tilde{g} + t$ and $\tilde{g} \to \tilde{t}_1 + \bar{t} $ decays (depending on the masses of the particles involved)…
The $\tau^- \to \pi^-\eta\nu_{\tau}$ decay is forbidden in the Standard Model in the limit of exact $G$-parity, it becomes a rare decay due to isospin symmetry breaking and it is very sensitive to the effects of effective scalar…
Isospin effect of the statistical emission fragments from the equilibrated source is investigated in the frame of statistical binary decay implemented into GEMINI code, isoscaling behavior is observed and the dependences of isoscaling…
Isospin structure of gluon mediated or strong penguin is significantly altered when the full electroweak corrections are included. This has the consequence that some previous analyses which relied on a simple isospin structure in charmless…
Parity-violating deep inelastic scattering (PVDIS) has been proposed as an important new tool to extract the flavor and isospin dependence of parton distributions in the nucleon. We discuss finite-Q^2 effects in PVDIS asymmetries arising…
