A preliminary measurement of the branching fraction of the tau- -> 3h-2h+nu decay (h= pi, K$) with the BaBar detector is found to be {8.52 +/- 0.09 +/- 0.40} x 10E-4, where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic. The…

We perform a thorough analysis of the VP\gamma(\gamma*) and P\gamma\gamma(\gamma*) decays in the resonance chiral theory, where V stand for the vector resonances \rho, K*, \omega, \phi, P stand for \pi, K, \eta, \eta' and \gamma*…
This review addresses the question of the chirality of $b$ quark weak couplings from a theoretical and from a purely phenomenological point of view. Due to their small magnitude $b$ decay couplings are subject to possible large corrections…
