E865 at the Brookhaven National Laboratory AGS collected about 70,000 K+e3 events with the purpose of measuring the K+e3 branching ratio relative to the observed K+ ->pi+pi0, K+ -> pi0 mu+ neutrino, and K+ -> pi+ pi0 pi0 decays. The pi0 in…
The radiative corrections to the pure leptonic decay $D_s{\longrightarrow} {\ell}{{\nu}}_{\ell}$ up-to one-loop order is presented. We find the virtual photon loop corrections to $D_s{\longrightarrow} {\tau}{{\nu}}_{\tau}$ is negative and…
We study the success to describe hyperon semileptonic decays of four models that incorporate second-order SU(3) symmetry breaking corrections. The criteria to assess their success is by determining V_{us} in each of the three relevant…
CKM matrix is unitary by construction in the standard model(SM). The recent analyses on the first row of CKM matrix show $ \approx 3\sigma$ tension with unitarity. Nonperturbative calculations of the radiative corrections can reduce the…
We study the correction to the radiative $\pi^0$ decay width due to finite light quark mass. Using lattice QCD with the overlap fermion formulation, we calculate the three-point function of the form $<PV_\mu V_\nu>$ in the (Euclidean)…
We calculate the radiative corrections to the Dalitz plot of K_{l3}^\pm decays to order (alpha/pi)(q/M_1), where q is the momentum transfer and M_1 is the mass of the kaon. We restrict the analysis to the so-called four-body region, which…
We review the status of hyperon semileptonic decays. The central issue is the $V_{us}$ element of the CKM matrix, where we obtain $V_{us}=0.2250 (27)$. This value is of similar precision, but higher, than the one derived from $K_{l3}$, and…
We present a new measurement of the branching ratio of the decay K_L -> pi e nu gamma (Ke3g) with respect to K_L -> pi e nu (Ke3), and the first study of the photon energy spectrum in this decay. We find BR(Ke3g, E*g>30 MeV, theta*_eg>20…
Preliminary results on KL->pi e nu(gamma) decays collected by the NA48 detector at the CERN SPS are reported. Using a sample of 6.8 X 10^6 reconstructed events BR(Ke3) = 0.4010+-0.0028+-0.0035 was obtained. From the branching ratio the…
We discuss the theoretical framework required for the computation of radiative corrections to semileptonic decay rates in lattice simulations, and in particular to those for $K_{\ell3}$ decays. This is an extension of the framework we have…
We present a measurement of the ratio of the decay rates Gamma(KL -> pi+ pi-)/Gamma(KL -> pi e nu), denoted as Gamma(K2pi)/Gamma(Ke3). The analysis is based on data taken during a dedicated run in 1999 by the NA48 experiment at the CERN…
If the CKM matrix element $V_{ud}$, that can be derived from superallowed nuclear decays, neutron decay and pion beta decay, is used for a precision test of the unitarity of the CKM matrix, the combination of the present world data seems to…
The $K\pi$ vector form factor, $F_+^{K\pi}$, used to reproduce the Belle spectrum of $\tauKpi$ decays is described by means of a three-times subtracted dispersion relation also incorporating constraints from $K_{l3}$ decays. The slope and…
A model-independent expression for the Dalitz plot of semileptonic decays of neutral kaons, K_{l3}^0, including radiative corrections to order (\alpha/\pi)(q/M_1), where q is the momentum transfer and M_1 is the mass of the kaon, is…
One of the sensitive probes of physics beyond the standard model is the test of the unitarity of the Cabbibo-Kobyashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix. Current analysis of the first row is based on $|V_{ud}|$ from fourteen superallowed $0^+ \to 0^+$…
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…
We study the radiative leptonic $B_c\to \gamma\ell\bar\nu$ decays in the nonrelativistic QCD effective field theory, and consider a fast-moving photon. As a result the interactions with the heavy quarks can be integrated out, and thus we…
We present measurements of R_Kl3rad = Gamma(KL->\pi\ell\nu\gamma; Egcm > 10 MeV)/Gamma(KL->\pi\ell\nu), where ell = mu or e, and Egcm is the photon energy in the kaon rest frame. These measurements are based on KL decays collected in 1997…
