I report on a recent calculation done in collaboration with E. de Rafael (hep-ph/0006146 v3) of the invariant B_K factor of K-Kbar mixing in the chiral limit and to next-to- leading order in the 1/Nc expansion. This calculation is, to the…

We calculate the $B_K$ parameter within the framework of the $1/N_c$ expansion. We essentially use the technique presented by Bardeen, Buras and G\'erard but calculate an off-shell Green function in order to disentangle different…
We present work going on calculating the kaon B_K parameter in the 1/N_c expansion. The goal of this work is to analyze analytically in the presence of chiral corrections this phenomenologically very important parameter. We present the…
We calculate the hadronic matrix elements to $O(p^4)$ in the chiral expansion for the ($\Delta S =1$) $K^0 \to 2 \pi$ decays and the ($\Delta S=2$) $\bar K^0$-$K^0$ oscillation. This is done within the framework of the chiral quark model.…
We study the unexpectedly large rate for the factorization-forbidden decay $B\to \chi_{c0}K$ within the QCD factorization approach. We use a non-zero gluon mass to regularize the infrared divergences in vertex corrections. The end-point…
The $B_K$ parameter is discussed in the general context of calculating beyond the factorization approximation for hadronic matrix elements. A variant of the $1/N_c$ method of Bardeen et al. is used. We present calculations within a low…
We compute the $\widehat B_K$ parameter and the mass difference $\Delta M_{LS}$ of the $K^0-\bar K^0$ system by means of the chiral quark model. The chiral coefficients of the relevant $\Delta S=2$ and $\Delta S=1$ chiral lagrangians are…

We apply the QCD factorization approach to exclusive, radiative B meson decays in the region of small invariant photon mass. We calculate factorizable and non-factorizable corrections to leading order in the heavy quark mass expansion and…

We introduce four-point functions in the hadronic ladder resummation approach to large $N_c$ QCD Green functions. We determine the relevant one to calculate the $B_K$ kaon parameter in the chiral limit. This four-point function contains…
Long distance contribution to the $K^0-\bar K^0$ mixing is taken into account consistently and the corrections to the naive duality result represented by the famous box diagram are found to be small. Estimates are given in the leading order…
We calculate the next-to-leading order(NLO) quantum chromodynamics(QCD) corrections to the inclusive process of $Z_0 \rightarrow B^*_c+\bar{c}+b$ under the non-relativistic QCD(NRQCD) factorization scheme. Technical details about…
We have computed $ B_K $ with staggered fermions, using two different methods: both in the one spin trace form and two spin trace form. Renormalized results in both forms are in good agreement. The numerical simulations were performed on a…
We show how the scheme- and scale-dependence of the short-distance operator product expansion with four-quark operators can be correctly accounted for in the framework of the $1/N_c$-expansion once the hadronization of two-quark currents…
The QCD finite energy sum rules method is used to show that the parameter of the K^0-\bar{K}_0 mixing \hat{B} is mainly determined by the value of g m_s< \bar{d} G_{\mu\nu} \sigma_{\mu\nu} d > and the vacuum expectation values of four-quark…
A new QCD calculation of the B parameter of $K^{0}-\bar{K^{0}}$ mixing is presented. It makes use of polynomial kernels in dispersion integrals in order to practically eliminate the contributions of the unknown pseudoscalar strange…
We report on a calculation of $\epsilon_K'/\epsilon_K$ at next-to-leading in the $1/N_c$ expansion and to lowest order in Chiral Perturbation Theory. We discuss the short-distance matching, the scale and scheme dependence as well as the…
We estimate nonfactorizable 1/$N_c$ contributions in the $K\rightarrow 2\pi$ amplitudes using the approach proposed in our previous work. It is demonstrated that for the conventional (nonpenguin) operators these contributions are close in…
