Data on Ke4 decays allow one to extract experimental information on the elastic pi pi scattering amplitude near threshold, and to confront the outcome of the analysis with predictions made in the framework of QCD. These predictions concern…

In this talk I give a short introduction to hard pion Chiral Perturbation Theory and an overview of the available applications $K\to\pi\pi$, $B,D\to D,\pi,K,\eta$ semileptonic decays and $\chi_{c0,2}\to\pi\pi,KK$. It is pointed out that the…

In this talk we review the status of the theoretical estimates for CP violating asymmetries in non-leptonic hyperon decays.

If CP is violated in any decay process involving leptons it will signify the existense of a new force (called the X boson) responsible for CP violation that may be the key to understanding matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe. We…

We point out that dynamics known from the observed CP violation in $K_L\to \pi^{\mp}l^{\pm}\nu$ generate a CP asymmetry of $3.3\cdot 10^{-3}$ in $\tau^{\pm} \to \nu K_L\pi^{\pm}$. CPT invariance requires the same asymmetry in the more…

A careful quark-diagram analysis shows that a number of two-body nonleptonic $B$ decays can occur through the so-called hairpin diagram, a QCD loop-induced graph different from penguin in final-state hadronization of valence quarks. Using…

We present a lattice calculation of the $K\to\pi\pi$ matrix elements and amplitudes with both the $\Delta I = 3/2$ and 1/2 channels and $\varepsilon'$, the measure of direct $CP$ violation. We use periodic boundary conditions (PBC), where…

We present the matrix elements for the semileptonic kaon decays $K_{l2\gamma}$, $K_{l2l^+l^-}$, $K_{l2l'^+l'^-}$, $K_{l3}$, $K_{l3\gamma}$ and $K_{l4}$ at next-to-leading order in chiral perturbation theory and compare the predictions with…

The rare decay $K_L\to\pi^0\nu\bar\nu$ is dominated by direct CP violation and can be computed with extraordinarily high precision. In principle also a CP conserving contribution to this process can arise within the Standard Model. We…

We examine the importance of resonances for the non-leptonic hyperon decays in the framework of chiral perturbation theory. Lower lying resonances are included into the effective theory. Integrating out the heavy degrees of freedom in the…

We extend chiral perturbation theory to study a meson gas out of thermal equilibrium. Assuming that the system is initially in equilibrium below the critical temperature and working within the Schwinger-Keldysh contour technique, we define…

The results of the searches for CP non-conservation in the decays of tau leptons are presented. No evidence of violation of CP symmetry is observed neither in CLEO nor in BELLE data. Interpretation of these results is done within the…

In this paper, we study the Cabibbo favored non-leptonic $D^0$ decays into $K^- \pi^+$ decays. First we show that, within the Standard Model, the corresponding CP asymmetry is strongly suppressed and out of the experimental range even…

We analyze $K \to \pi\pi\gamma$ decays in the framework of Chiral Perturbation Theory. We study the different Dalitz plot distributions, trying to find regions where o($p^6$) contributions could be more easily detected. To fulfill this…

Isospin breaking correction to the $\Delta I = {1/2}$ decay of $K\to\pi\pi$ generates a large enough contribution to $\epsilon'$ through an induced $\Delta I = {3/2}$ amplitude in $K_L$ decay. Aside from the $\pi$-$\eta$ and $\pi$-$\eta'$…

We present a simple isospin invariant parametrization for $(B \to K\pi)$ decay amplitudes which consistently includes CP violation and (quasi-elastic) hadronic final states interactions. We find that the observed $(B \to K\pi)$ decays do…
