The sector of decay constants of the octet of light pseudoscalar mesons in the framework of 'resummed' $SU(3)$ chiral perturbation theory is investigated. A theoretical prediction for the decay constant of $\eta$-meson is compared to a…
The decays D^* -> D\pi and D^* -> D\gamma are well described by heavy meson chiral perturbation theory. With the recent measurement of Br(D^{*+} -> D^+ \gamma), the D^{*0}, D^{*+}, and D_s^* branching fractions can be used to extract the…
We study the hadronic form factors of $\tau$ lepton decays $\tau \to K \pi(\eta) \nu$. We compute one loop corrections to the form factors using the chiral Lagrangian including vector mesons. The counterterms which subtract the divergence…
We amend a recent dispersive analysis of the anomalous $\eta$ decay process $\eta\to\pi^+\pi^-\gamma$ by the effects of the $a_2$ tensor meson, the lowest-lying resonance that can contribute in the $\pi\eta$ system. While the net effects on…
