We study the relation between the scale of chiral symmetry spontaneously breaking and constituent quark mass. We argue that this relation partly reveals strong interaction origination of chiral symmetry breaking. We show that the relation…
Hadronic phase in $\pi \pi$ and $K \bar K$ channels are calculated a la Regge. At the D mass one finds $\delta_{\pi \pi} \approx \pi/3$ and $\delta_{K \bar K} \approx -\pi/6$ in good agreement with the CLEO data while at the B mass these…
We are using domain wall fermions to study $K \to \pi \pi$ matrix elements by measuring $K \to \pi$ and $K \to 0$ matrix elements on the lattice and employing chiral perturbation theory to relate these to the desired physical result. The…
I give a very short introduction to Chiral Perturbation Theory and an overview of the next-to-next-to-leading order three-flavour calculations done. I discuss those relevant for an improvement in the accuracy of the measurement of $V_{us}$…
We present a method of determining the CKM-angle $\alpha$ by performing simultaneous measurements of the mixing-induced CP asymmetries of the decays $B_d\to\pi^+\pi^-$ and $B_d\to K^0\bar K^0$. The accuracy of our approach is limited by…
I demonstrate that the short distance contribution to K --> Pi Pi decays must be supplemented with large distance effects. A hybrid calculation is outlined based on QCD diagrams supplemented by chiral contributions and Pi-Pi phaseshifts.
I discuss isospin breaking effects within the standard model. Chiral perturbation theory presents the appropriate theoretical framework for such an investigation in the low--energy range. Recent results on the electromagnetic contributions…
The decays $B^\pm\to \pi^\pm K$ and $B_d\to \pi^\mp K^\pm$ were observed by the CLEO collaboration last year; they may play an important role to probe the angle $\gamma$ of the unitarity triangle of the CKM matrix. After a general…
Corrections to $K_{L}^{0}\rightarrow \pi^{0} \gamma \gamma$ decay induced by scalar meson exchange are studied within chiral perturbation theory. In spite of bad knowledge of scalar-mesons parameters, the calculated branching ratio can be…
The strong decays of the heavy baryons \Sigma^{(*)}_Q \to \Lambda_Q \pi are studied by combining the chiral dynamics and the MIT bag model. In charm sector, we calculate the decay widths \Gamma(\Sigma^{(*)}_c\to \Lambda_c\pi) and compare…
We study the scalar and pseudoscalar sector in a five-dimenional model describing chiral symmetry breaking. We calculate the scalar and pseudoscalar two-point correlator, the mass spectrum and interactions. We also obtain the scalar and…
Recent experimental results on $B\to\rho\rho$ decays indicate that the CP asymmetry $S_{\rho^+\rho^-}$ will give an interesting determination of $\alpha=\arg[-(V_{td}V_{tb}^*)/(V_{ud}V_{ub}^*)]$. In the limit when the $\rho$ width is…
We demonstrate that the decay eta -> 3 pi represents a sensitive probe for the breaking of chiral symmetry by the quark masses. The transition amplitude is proportional to the mass ratio (m_d^2-m_u^2)/(m_s^2-m^2). The factor of…
We present an analysis of the enhancement of CP-violating charge asymmetries in $K \rightarrow 3\pi$ decays. Calculations of decay amplitudes are performed on the basis of bosonized strong and weak Lagrangians derived from QCD-motivated…
We calculate long distance contributions to $K\to\pi\nu\bar{\nu}\,,\ \pi\pi\nu\bar{\nu}$, and $\pi\pi\pi\nu\bar{\nu}$ modes within the framework of chiral perturbation theory. We find that these contributions to decay rates of $K\to…
The extraction of the CKM angle $\alpha$ from the asymmetry in $B^0 \to \pi^+\pi^-$ vs ${\bar B^0} \to \pi^+\pi^-$ suffers from a currently unknown penguin contribution. Experimentally, one can determine the magnitude and phase of the CP…
Based on the QCD factorization approach we analyse the branching ratios for the channel $B \to \rho \pi$. From the comparisons with experimental data provided by CLEO, BELLE and BABAR we constrain the form factor $F^{B \to…
In this work, I suggest a new way for determining the CKM angle $\gamma$ via B decays into a scalar/tensor meson without any hadronic uncertainty. The proposed idea makes profits of the two triangles formed by the $B^\pm\to (D^0,\bar…
