We discuss finite-volume computations of two-body hadronic decays below the inelastic threshold (e.g. $K\to\pi\pi$ decays). The relation between finite-volume matrix elements and physical amplitudes, recently derived by Lellouch and…
We derive relations between finite-volume matrix elements and infinite-volume decay amplitudes, for processes with three spinless, degenerate and either identical or non-identical particles in the final state. This generalizes the…

We develop a new method that allows us to deal with two-photon intermediate states in a lattice QCD calculation. We apply this method to perform a first-principles calculation of the $\pi^0 \rightarrow e^+ e^-$ decay amplitude. Both the…
We present new results for the amplitude $A_2$ for a kaon to decay into two pions with isospin $I=2$: Re$A_2 = 1.50(4)_\mathrm{stat}(14)_\mathrm{syst}\times 10^{-8}$ GeV; Im$A_2 = -6.99(20)_\mathrm{stat}(84)_\mathrm{syst}\times 10^{-13}$…
A precise SM prediction for the direct CP violation in the $K \rightarrow \pi\pi$ decay process is of great importance in confronting experiments and constraining new physics. The state-of-art lattice QCD study of this process will soon…

We use one-loop chiral perturbation theory to compare potential lattice computations of the K+ --> pi+ pi0 decay amplitude at m_K=2m_pi with the experimental value. We find that the combined one-loop effect due to this unphysical pion to…
We compute the complex, long-distance two-photon-exchange amplitude which contributes to the rare $K_{\rm L}\rightarrow\mu^+\mu^-$ decay from lattice QCD. We use a $24^3\times 64$ physical-pion-mass gauge field ensemble at an inverse…

We present the first calculation in lattice QCD of the process $\gamma K \to K\pi$ in which the narrow $K^*$ vector resonance appears. Using a lattice on which the pion has a mass of 284 MeV, we determine the transition amplitude at 128…
In this talk we discuss finite-volume computations of two-body hadronic decays below the inelastic threshold (e.g. $K\to\pi\pi$ decays). In particular we show how the relation between finite-volume matrix elements and physical amplitudes,…
