New sources of charge-parity (CP) violation beyond those described in the Standard Model (SM) are required to explain the observed matter--antimatter asymmetry of the Universe. The Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) provides a…
Recent work by J.Prades and myself on $K\to\pi\pi$ is described. The method we use to consistently connect long and short distances is described and numerical results for the $\Delta I=1/2$ rule and on $B_6$, the parameter relevant for the…
We study the $CP$-violating, $|\Delta S| =1$ parameter $\varepsilon '/\varepsilon$ by computing the hadronic matrix elements in the chiral quark model. We estimate the coefficients of the next-to-leading order terms in the chiral expansion…
We perform a matching of the two loop-chiral perturbation theory representation of the scalar Kpi form factor to a dispersive one. Knowing the value of F_K/F_pi and f_+(0) in the Standard Model (SM) allows to determine two O(p^6) LECs, the…
The present Thesis is dedicated to a formal and phenomenological investigation of extensions to two separate sectors of the Standard Model of particle physics (SM): the electroweak sector and the strong sector. The Thesis is divided into…

I review recent progresses in heavy quarks physics on the lattice. I focus on decay constants and form factors relevant for the extraction of CKM matrix elements from experimental data. B-\bar{B} mixing is also discussed. In the last part…
Precision experiments, such as those performed at LEP and SLC, offer us an excellent opportunity to constrain extended gauge model parameters. To this end, it is often assumed, that in order to obtain more reliable estimates, one should…
Following the 1999 analysis of Gambino, Haisch and one of us, we stress that all the recent NLO analyses of $\varepsilon'/\varepsilon$ in the Standard Model (SM) suffer from the renormalization scheme dependence present in the electroweak…
The dependence of the pseudoscalar meson mass and decay constant is compared to one-loop Partially Quenched Chiral Perturbation Theory (PQChPT) in a numerical simulation with two light dynamical quarks. The characteristic behaviour with…
Measurements of the $W^\pm$ mass ($m_W$) provide an important consistency check of the Standard Model (SM) and constrain the possibility of physics beyond the SM. Precision measurements of $m_W$ at hadron colliders are inferred from…
We systematically analyze the anomalous dipole $\Delta k_{\gamma}$ and quadrupole $\Delta Q_{\gamma}$ moments of the W gauge bosons in the context of the minimal supersymmetric standard model as functions of the soft SUSY breaking…
In spite of its many successes, the Standard Model makes many empirical assumptions in the Higgs and fermion sectors for which a deeper theoretical basis is sought. Starting from the usual gauge symmetry $u(1) \times su(2) \times su(3)$…
