We investigate the vector and scalar form factors relevant for K_{\ell 3} semileptonic decays using maximally twisted-mass fermions with two flavors of dynamical quarks (N_f = 2). The simulations cover pion masses as light as 260 MeV and…
The existence of a light dark force mediator has been tested with the KLOE detector at DAPHNE. This particle, called U, is searched for using the decay chain phi-->etaU, eta-->pi+pi-pi0, U-->e+e-. No evidence is found in 1.5 fb-1 of data.…

The KOTO experiment was designed to observe and study the K$^{0}_{L} \rightarrow$ $\pi^{0}\nu\bar{\nu}$ decay at J-PARC. The Standard Model (SM) prediction for the process is (3.0 $\pm$ 0.3) x 10$^{-11}$ with small uncertainties. This…

The recent precise measurements of the $e^+e^-\to K_SK_L$ and $e^+e^-\to K^+K^-$ cross sections and the hadronic spectral function of the $\tau^-\to K^-K_S\nu_\tau$ decay are used to extract the isoscalar and isovector electromagnetic kaon…
Using a data sample of 282 1/fb collected by the Belle experiment at the KEKB e+e- collider, we study D0 -> pilnu and D0 -> Klnu decays (l = mu,e) in e+e- annihilation. We identify D* -> D0pi decays by using the mass of the system recoiling…
