We derive an analytic expression for the O(alpha) radiative correction to the anti-nu_e (nu_e) spectrum in allowed beta-decay. The m -> 0 limit is convergent and leads to a very simple result (m is the electron mass). This is in sharp…

The electromagnetic structure of the nucleon can be determined from the scattering of electrons off a nucleon target. However, to study its axial structure, neutrino beams are required. The results from these experiments should be…

As noticed in Ref.[1], the Ore-Powell's classical calculation of the o-Ps -> 3 gamma decay amplitude does not fulfill Low's theorem requirements for the low energy end of the photon spectrum. We reanalyze the implications of Low's theorem…

This letter is the first report of the KL -> pi+- e-+ nu e+ e- decay. Based on 19208+-144 events, we determine the branching fraction, B(KL -> pi+- e-+ nu e+ e-; Mee > 5 MeV/c^2, E*ee > 30 MeV) = (1.285+-0.041)x10^-5, and Gamma(Ke3ee; Mee…

The long distance correction to the total decay width of the $\tau^{\pm}\to K^{0}\pi^{\pm}\nu$ decay is calculated in a model independent approach where a discrimination of photons in the Bremmstrahlung process is assumed. This correction…

Improved branching ratios were measured for the $K_L \to 3 \pi^0 $ decay in a neutral beam at the CERN SPS with the NA31 detector: $\Gamma (K_L \to 3 \pi^0) / \Gamma (K_L \to \pi^+ \pi^- \pi^0) = 1.611 \pm 0.037$ and $\Gamma (K_L \to 3…
