A measurement of the vector to pseudoscalar conversion decay $\phi \to \pi^0 e^+e^-$ with the KLOE experiment is presented. A sample of $\sim 9500$ signal events was selected from a data set of 1.7 fb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collisions at…

The most precise determination of Vus comes from semileptonic kaon decays. We have measured with the KLOE detector at DAFNE, the Frascati phi-factory, all the experimental inputs to Vus for both neutral and charged kaons. Using our results…

Analyticity and unitarity techniques are employed to obtain bounds on the shape parameters of the scalar and vector form factors of semileptonic $K_{l3}$ decays. For this purpose we use vector and scalar correlators evaluated in pQCD, a low…

The rare second-class decay mode of the $\tau$ into $\eta\pi\nu$ could be observed for the first time at Belle II. It is important to try to derive a reliable evaluation of the branching fraction and of the energy distribution of this mode…

We report on a study of the decay $K_L \to e^+e^-\gamma\gamma$ carried out as a part of the KTeV/E799 experiment at Fermilab. The 1997 data yielded a sample of 1543 events, including an expected background of $56 \pm 8$ events. An effective…

We compare the predictions for the form factors f_+^{D->pi,K}(0) from QCD sum rules on the light-cone with recent experimental results. We find f_+^{D->pi}(0) = 0.63\pm 0.11, f_+^{D->K}(0) = 0.75\pm 0.12 and f_+^{D->pi}(0)/f_+^{D->K}(0)=…

The KLOE experiment has collected 2.4 1/pb of integrated luminosity during the commissioning of the DAFNE phi-factory in 1999. The performance of the detector has been studied using phi -> KL KS decays collected during this period, yielding…

Recent results from the first phase of the E787 experiment and an update on the current status are presented. From the first phase the limit on the K+ -> pi+ nu nu (pnn) branching ratio is BR(pnn) < 2.4e-9 (90%CL). An observation of the…

Two aspects of isospin breaking in the decay $K^\pm \to \pi^0 \pi^0 e^\pm \stackrel{_{(-)}}{\nu_e}$ are studied and discussed. The first addresses the possible influence of the phenomenological description of the unitarity cusp on the…
