We examine the potentially very promising signal $B_s\to \mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ in supersymmetry with large $\tan\beta$ in a {\em top-down} approach starting from the best fits of an SO(10)-like model studied recently. Our results go beyond…
We review the recent experimental and theoretical progress in the determination of |V_{ud}| and |V_{us}|, and the status of the most stringent test of CKM unitarity. Future prospects on |V_{cd}| and |V_{cs}| are also briefly discussed.
The rare $\pi^0 \to e^+e^-$ and $\eta \to \mu^+\mu^-$ decays are calculated in different schemes, which are seen to be essentially equivalent to and produce the same results as conventional Vector-Meson Dominance. We obtain the theoretical…
Let $G$ be a compact Lie group and $T$ its maximal torus. In this paper, we try to compute $gr_{\gamma}^*(G/T)$ the graded ring associated with the gamma filtration of the complex $K$-theory $K^0(G/T)$ for $G=Spin(n)$. In particular, we…
In this note we show how improved theoretical analysis combined with recent experimental data coming from NA48/2 concerning $K^+ \to \pi^+ \pi^0 \gamma$ decay shed light on the dynamics of the $s \rightarrow d \gamma$ transition.…
Results on the lowest-order hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon magnetic anomaly are presented. They are based on the latest published experimental data used as input to the dispersion integral. Thus recent results on tau…
In this contribution, the recent calculation of next-to-next-to-leading order QCD and next-to-leading order electroweak corrections to the decay $B_s\to \mu^+\mu^-$ is reviewed, and a detailed discussion of the uncertainty of the theory…
We report on a search for the rare decay K_L -> pi^0 nu nubar in the KTeV experiment at Fermilab. We searched for two-photon events whose kinematics were consistent with an isolated pi^0 coming from the decay K_L -> pi^0 nu nubar. One…
Recently the new q-Euler numbers are defined. In this paper we derive the the Kummer type congruence related to q-Euler numbers and we introduce some interesting formulae related to these q-Euler numbers.
The $K\to\mu^+\mu^-$ decay is often considered to be uninformative of fundamental theory parameters since the decay is polluted by long-distance hadronic effects. We demonstrate that, using very mild assumptions and utilizing time-dependent…
In view of future plans for accurate measurements of the theoretically clean branching ratios Br(K+ -> pi+ nu nu) and Br(KL -> pi0 nu nu), that should take place in the next decade, we collect the relevant formulae for quantities of…
The threshold behaviour of the cross section sigma(e+e+ -> tau+tau-) is analysed, taking into account the known higher-order corrections. At present, this observable can be determined to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in a combined…
This review article brings forth some recent results in the theory of the Riemann zeta-function $qzeta(s)$.
We update the |V$_{us}$| determinations using the HFLAV 2018 report tau branching fraction results with recent new estimates of the $\pi\ell2$ and $K\ell2$ radiative corrections. There are minor changes of the central values and…
The Xi^0 muon semi-leptonic decay has been observed for the first time with nine identified events using the KTeV beam line and detector at Fermilab. The decay is normalized to the Xi^0 beta decay mode and yields a value for the ratio of…
Motivated by new precise results on several $K_L$ decays, sensitive to the ${K_L \to \gamma \gamma}$ form factor, we present a new analysis of the $K_L\to \mu^+\mu^-$ long-distance amplitude based on a semi-phenomenological approach.…
The status of the experiment on the precise $\tau$ lepton mass measurement running at the VEPP-4M collider with the KEDR detector is reported. The mass value is evaluated from the $\tau^+\tau^-$ cross section behaviour around the production…
We present a unified picture which studies simultaneously the gamma gamma--> pi^+ pi^-, pi^0 pi^0,K^+ K^-, K^0 bar{K}^0, pi^0 eta reactions up to about sqrt(s)=1.4 GeV reproducing the experimental cross sections. The present work implements…
The impact of the new tau decay data on the various $\tau$ puzzles and on the possibility of approximate supersymmetry is discussed. The most economical solution of the problems in $\tau$ decay and that favored by recent new data supports…
We discuss the implications of B_s -> mu+mu- and B -> K*mu+mu- decays in the context of indirect searches for new physics, emphasising the new LHCb results. In particular, we derive the consequences of the MFV hypothesis and discuss the…
