In the Standard Model (SM) we calculate the decay rate of the neutron radiative beta decay to order "O(\alpha^2/\pi^2 ~ 10^{-5})", where "\alpha$"is the fine--structure constant, and radiative corrections to order "O(\alpha/\pi ~ 10^{-3})".…
We calculate radiative corrections to the flavor-changing neutral current process K --> pi l+ l-, both for charged and neutral kaon decays. While the soft-photon approximation is shown to work well for the muon channels, we discuss the…
The estimation of rare K decay matrix-elements from Kl3 experimental data is extended beyond LO in Chiral Perturbation Theory. Isospin-breaking effects at NLO (and partially NNLO) in the ChPT expansion, as well as QED radiative corrections…
We evaluate the rare radiative kaon decays K_{L,S} -> 3 gamma. Applying the requirements of gauge invariance and Bose symmetry, we derive a general form of the decay amplitude, including both parity-conserving and parity-violating…
We present a measurement of the K-pi vector current form-factor parameters for the Ke3 decay. We use 328 pb$^{-1}$ of data collected in 2001 and 2002, corresponding to about 2 million Ke3 events. Measurements of semileptonic form factors…
We study the radiative pion decay of $\pi ^{+} \to e^{+}\nu_{e}\gamma$ in the chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) and light front quark model (LFQM). The vector and axial-vector hadronic form factors ($F_{V,A}$) for the $\pi\to\gamma$…
We have recalculated the Mikaelian and Smith radiative corrections to the Dalitz decay $\pi^0\to e^+e^-\gamma$ beyond the soft-photon approximation, i.e. over the whole range of the Dalitz plot and with no restrictions on the radiative…
In light of ongoing issues with the first-row unitarity test of the CKM matrix, we showcase a global fit to measurements of $K\to \ell \nu$, $K\to \pi\ell \nu$, $\tau \to K\nu$, and $\tau\to K\pi \nu$ decays for the first time. Fitting the…
Radiative muon decay in the kinematics similar to the neutrinoless decay $\mu\to e\gamma$ is considered. Radiative corrections due to 1-loop virtual photons and emission of additional soft or hard photons are taken into account. Analytical…
