We briefly discuss the phenomenology of B to pi pi, B to K pi and B to phi K decays in the Standard Model and in Supersymmetry.
I review the current status of nonleptonic kaon decays, placing special emphasis on the recent theoretical progress. In particular, I concentrate on 3 points: (i) the improved determination of \epsilon_K, including both perturbative and…
We consider a process $K_{L e5} ( K_{L} \rightarrow \pi^{0} \pi^{0} \pi^{\pm} e^{\mp} \nu )$ as a standard model background to the experiment $K_{L} \rightarrow \pi^{0} \mu^{\pm} e^{\mp}$, which seeks for possible violation of lepton family…
We first review the current algebra - PCAC approach to nonleptonic octet baryon 14 weak decay B (\to) (B^{\prime})(\pi) amplitudes. The needed four parameters are independently determined by (\Omega \to \Xi \pi),(\Lambda K) and (\Xi ^{-}\to…
CP violation in B decays provides a powerful tool to probe physics from beyond the Standard Model. A theoretical overview of recent developments of benchmark channels is given, ranging from non-leptonic to rare leptonic and semileptonic…
The sum of the CP-violating asymmetries A(Lambda_-^0) and A(Xi_-^-) in hyperon nonleptonic decays is presently being measured by the E871 experiment. We evaluate contributions to the asymmetries induced by chromomagnetic-penguin operators,…
We apply hard pion Chiral Perturbation Theory to charmonium decays to $\pi\pi$, $KK$ and $\eta\eta$. We first discuss why we expect to be able to provide results for the chiral logarithms in $\chi_{c0}$ and $\chi_{c2}$ decays to two…
We explore the chiral aspects of extrapolation of observables calculated within lattice QCD, using the nucleon magnetic moments as an example. Our analysis shows that the biggest effects of chiral dynamics occur for quark masses…
Based on the spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry, chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) is believed to approximate confinement scale QCD. Dedicated and increasingly accurate experiments and improving lattice calculations are confirming this…
We review the physics of purely leptonic decays of $\pi^\pm$, $K^\pm$, $D^{\pm}$, $D_s^\pm$, and $B^\pm$ pseudoscalar mesons. The measured decay rates are related to the product of the relevant weak-interaction-based CKM matrix element of…
Despite measurements which date more than 20 years ago, no straightforward solution of the ratio of the parity-conserving (P-wave) to parity- violating (S-wave) decays of the hyperons has been obtained. Here we use two 2-point methods in…
We review the present status of CP violation in the standard model. Subsequently we make an excursion in the future in order to see what we could expect in this field in this and the next decade. We present various strategies for the…
We estimate nonfactorizable 1/$N_c$ contributions in the $K\rightarrow 2\pi$ amplitudes using the approach proposed in our previous work. It is demonstrated that for the conventional (nonpenguin) operators these contributions are close in…
We examine some consequences of the QCD factorization approach to non-leptonic B decays into $\pi K$ and $\pi \pi$ final states, including a set of enhanced power corrections. Among the robust predictions of the approach we find small…
The SM predicts zero value for {\bf CP} \& {\bf T} violation in the decays of $\tau$ leptons -- except $\tau^- \to \nu K_S [\pi^-/\pi^-\pi^0 ...]$. Our community could establish impact of New Dynamics (ND) in a {\bf CP} asymmetry in a…
The decreasing uncertainties in theoretical predictions and experimental measurements of several hadronic observables related to weak processes, which in many cases are now smaller than $\mathrm{O}(1\%)$, require theoretical calculations to…
Using a sample of 12.2 million $\tau$-lepton pairs produced by $e^+e^-$ annihilation at $\sqrt{s}\sim 10.6 $GeV and collected by the CLEO detector, we search for and set limits on CP violation in $\tau$-lepton decays. For each event, we…
We estimate the size of the CP-violating rate asymmetry for the decay Omega^- -> Cascade + pion. Within the standard model we find a value of 2 x 10^(-5), and it could be as much as ten times larger if new physics is responsible for CP…
The decays tau -> 3 pi + nu(tau) are analyzed at one loop order in the framework of Generalized Chiral Perturbation Theory, in order to test the sensitivity to the size of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking parameters, contained in the…
We study the scaling with the number of colours, $N_c$, of the weak amplitudes mediating kaon mixing and decay. We evaluate the amplitudes of the two relevant current-current operators on the lattice for $N_c=3-7$. We conclude that the…
