A systematic study is made of the data dependence of the parameter $A_{\rm{b}}$, that, since 1995, has shown a deviation from the Standard Model prediction of between 2.4 and 3.1 standard deviations. Issues addressed include: the effect of…
Recently KTev collaboration has measured $Re(\epsilon'/\epsilon) = (28\pm 4.1) \times 10^{-4}$ which is in agreement with early measurement from NA31. The Standard Model prediction for $\epsilon'/\epsilon$ is on the lower end of the…
The deviation of the measurement of $R_{D}$ ($R_{D^{*}}$) from the Standard Model (SM) expectation is $2.3\sigma$ ($3.1\sigma$). $R_{D}$ ($R_{D^{*}}$) is the ratio of the branching fraction of $\overline{B} \rightarrow…

The real part of epsilon'/epsilon measures direct CP violation in the decays of the neutral kaons in two pions. It is a fundamental quantity which has justly attracted a great deal of theoretical as well as experimental work. Its…

We discuss direct $CP$ violation in the standard model by giving a new estimate of $\varepsilon'/\varepsilon$ in kaon decays. Our analysis is based on the evaluation of the hadronic matrix elements of the \mbox{$\Delta S =1$} effective…
Following the recent analysis done in collaboration with Jason Aebischer and Christoph Bobeth, I summarize the optimal, in our view, strategy for the present evaluation of the ratio $\varepsilon'/\varepsilon$ in the Standard Model (SM). In…
Dilepton decays of pseudoscalar mesons have been drawing particular interest, thanks to their sensitivity to both the QCD dynamics at low energy and also signals beyond the Standard Model. In this context, we shortly review our recent study…
In order to provide an estimate of eps'/eps several effective theories and physical effects have to be disentangled. In this talk I discuss how it is possible to predict eps '/eps taking into account all sources of large logs. The numerical…

Recent measurements of the branching fraction for D_s -> l nu disagree with the Standard Model by around 2sigma. In this case the key aspect of the Standard Model is the calculation of the decay constant, f_{D_s}, with lattice QCD. This…
