We have gained enough statistical precision to distinguish signal from noise in matrix elements of all operators relevant for the Delta I=1/2 rule in kaon decays and for the direct CP violation parameter epsilon-prime. We confirm…
We define a regularization-independent momentum-subtraction scheme for the $CP$-odd three-gluon operator at dimension six. This operator appears in effective field theories for heavy physics beyond the Standard Model, describing the…
We present a consistent renormalization of the top and bottom quark/squark sector of the MSSM with complex parameters (cMSSM). Various renormalization schemes are defined, analyzed analytically and tested numerically in the decays Stop_2 ->…
We calculate $\Delta I = 3/2$ kaon decay matrix elements using domain wall fermions and the DBW2 gauge action at one coarse lattice spacing corresponding to $a^{-1} = 1.3$ GeV. We employ the Lellouch and L\"uscher formula and its extention…
Naively, the "best" method of renormalization is the one where a momentum cutoff is taken to infinity while maintaining stable results due to a cutoff-dependent adjustment of counterterms. We have applied this renormalization method in the…
We analyse the extension of Chiral Perturbation Theory to describe a meson gas out of thermal equilibrium. For that purpose, we let the pion decay constant be a time-dependent function and work within the Schwinger-Keldysh contour…
This article explores the calculation of non-perturbative parameters present in the matrix element of semileptonic inclusive $B$ decays. These are important for the inclusive determination of the Cabbibo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) parameters…
We compute next-to-next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the partonic processes $b\to c \bar{u} d$ and $b\to c \bar{c} s$, which constitute the dominant decay channels in standard model predictions for $B$-meson lifetimes within the…
The neutral Kaon decays Ks->gamma gamma and Kl->pi0 gamma gamma are very sensitive to higher order loop effects of Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT). New measurements of the NA48 experiment show that ChPT contributions of O(p^6) cannot be…
We present a preliminary study of the neutral kaon mixing bag parameter BK using two flavors of dynamical Wilson fermions. We determine the matrix element of the relevant DeltaS=2 operator by using both the conventional approach and the so…
The renormalization of the NN interaction with the Chiral Two Pion Exchange Potential computed using relativistic baryon chiral perturbation theory is considered. The short distance singularity reduces the number of counter-terms to about a…
In this short review, we present the current status about the theoretical and experimental studies for some important semileptonic decays of $B/B_s$ mesons. We firstly gave a brief introduction for the experimental measurements for $B/B_s…
Non-leptonic hyperon weak decays are investigated in the SU(3) Skyrme model. We use a collective coordinate scheme, following the approach in which the symmetry breaking terms in the strong effective action are diagonalized exactly. To…
A non-technical description of the Operator Product Expansion and Renormalization Group techniques as applied to weak decays of mesons is presented. We use this opportunity to summarize briefly the present status of the next-to-leading QCD…
We introduce a new method for calculating the mixing matrix for non-singlet quark operators including total derivatives, based solely on their renormalization structure in the chiral limit. As input, the method requires the well-known…
Chiral perturbation theory is utilized to construct the renormalized magnetic masses and decay constants of the meson octet at next-to-leading order. While the neutral pion mass decreases identically to two-flavor chiral perturbation…
