We study CP violation and the contribution of the strong kaon-pion interactions in the three body B --> K pi+ pi- decays. We extend our recent work on the effect of the two-pion S- and P-wave interactions to that of the corresponding…
We report the Standard Model evaluation of the indirect CP violation parameter $\varepsilon_K$ using inputs determined from lattice QCD: the kaon bag parameter $\hat{B}_K$, $\xi_0$, $|V_{us}|$ from the $K_{\ell 3}$ and $K_{\mu 2}$ decays,…
The combined use of chiral $SU(3)$ and heavy quark symmetries allows one to relate the hadronic form factors for the decay $\bar B\to \bar K\e^+\e^-$ to those for $\bar B\to\pi\e^-\bar\nu$. We investigate departures from the symmetry limit…
Using heavy meson chiral perturbation theory, we consider the light quark-mass and spatial volume dependence of the matrix elements of \Delta B=2 and \Delta C=2 four-quark operators relevant for B^{0}_{(s)}{-}\bar{B}^{0}_{(s)} and…
We perform for the first time a direct calculation of on-shell $K\to\pi\pi$ hadronic matrix elements of chromomagnetic operators (CMO) in the Standard Model and beyond. To his end, we use the successful Dual QCD (DQCD) approach in which we…
In this review, three subjects are discussed: a phenomenological application of lattice predictions to $K^0$--$\bar K^0$ mixing in Super Symmetry; a discussion of the non-perturbative renormalization methods for four-fermion operators and a…
In this paper we continue to develop our approach to the chaoticity properties of the quantum Hamiltonian systems. Our earlier suggested chaoticity criterion characterizes the initial symmetry breaking and the destruction of the…
We present results for the \Delta S=2 matrix elements which are required to study neutral kaon mixing in the standard model (SM) and beyond (BSM). We also provide leading chiral order results for the matrix elements of the electroweak…
We present results for the non-perturbative renormalisation of four-fermion operators with two flavours of dynamical quarks. We consider both fully relativistic left current-left current operators, and a full basis for $\Delta B=2$…
We investigate the use of two kinds of staggered fermion operators, smeared and unsmeared. The smeared operators extend over a $4^4$ hypercube, and tend to have smaller perturbative corrections than the corresponding unsmeared operators. We…
We present our results of lattice calculations of $B$ parameters, which parameterize $\Delta B$=2 transition amplitudes together with the leptonic decay constant. Calculations are made in the quenched approximation at $\beta$=5.7, 5.9, 6.0…
We revisit the theoretical predictions and the parametrization of non-local matrix elements in rare $\bar{B}_{(s)}\to \lbrace \bar{K}^{(*)},\phi\rbrace\ell^+\ell^-$ and $\bar{B}_{(s)}\to \lbrace \bar{K}^{*}, \phi\rbrace \gamma$ decays. We…
We present results of several numerical studies with Wilson fermions relevant for kaon physics. We compute the B_K parameter by using two different methods and extrapolate to the continuum limit. Our preliminary result is B_K(2…
The mixing effects and the $CP(T)$--violating formalism for Kaon, B--mesons and similar unstable oscillating systems, are recovered by means of a method based on the properties of the complex singularities in the $S$--matrix theory with…
We consider a new momentum cut-off scheme for sums over zero-point energies, containing an arbitrary function f(k) which interpolates smoothly between the zero-point energies of the modes around the kink and those in flat space. A term…
We study the spectra of the bottomonium and B_c states within perturbative QCD up to order alpha_s^4. The O(Lambda_QCD) renormalon cancellation between the static potential and the pole mass is performed in the epsilon-expansion scheme. We…
The Chromomagnetic operator (CMO) mixes with a large number of operators under renormalization. We identify which operators can mix with the CMO, at the quantum level. Even in dimensional regularization (DR), which has the simplest mixing…
Status of weak matrix elements is reviewed. In particular, $\epspeps$, $\bkastg$, $B_K$, $B_B$ and $B_{B_s}$ are discussed and the overall situation with respect to the lattice effort and some of its phenomenological implications are…
We study the off-shell mixing and renormalization of flavor-diagonal dimension-5 T- and P-odd operators involving quarks, gluons, and photons, including quark electric dipole and chromo-electric dipole operators. We present the…
Using the overlap-Dirac operator proposed by Neuberger, we have computed in lattice QCD the one-loop renormalization factors of ten operators which measure the lowest two moments of unpolarized and polarized non-singlet quark distributions.…
