In this talk, I will present the calculation of LCSR predictions for the $B \to K$ Hadronic Matrix Elements (HME) at low $q^2$ using light meson distribution amplitudes. I will discuss the results obtained.
We present an analysis of CPT violation in $B\to J/\psi K$ decays. A method of kaon regeneration is proposed to increase the $K_{S(L)}$ interference effects. With the time evolution of both neutral B and K mesons, we show that it is…
We summarize the present knowledge on the non-perturbative hadronic inputs needed in the analysis of $B^0$-$\bar B^0$ mixing and the CP-violating parameter $\varepsilon$ of the $K^0$-$\bar K^0$ system. Using this information, together with…
By expanding functions of parton fragmentation into a heavy hadron in the inverse of the heavy quark mass $m_Q$ we attempt to factorize them into perturbative- and nonperturbative parts. In our approach the nonperturbative parts can be…
We study the light-quark mass and spatial volume dependence of the matrix elements of $\Delta B=0$ four-quark operators relevant for the determination of $V_{ub}$ and the lifetime ratios of single-$b$ hadrons. To this end, one-loop diagrams…
We study the prospects of measuring the CKM matrix element $\vert V_{ts}\vert$ at the LHC with the top quarks produced in the processes $p p \to t\bar{t}X$ and $p p \to t/\bar{t} X$, and the subsequent decays $t \to W^+s$ and $\bar{t} \to…

The Kaon bag parameter, $B_K$, is a key non-perturbative ingredient in the search for new physics through CP-violation. It parameterizes the QCD hadronic matrix element of the effective weak $\Delta S=2$ four-quark operator which can only…
We revisit the theoretical predictions and the parametrization of non-local matrix elements in rare $\bar{B}_{(s)}\to \lbrace \bar{K}^{(*)},\phi\rbrace\ell^+\ell^-$ and $\bar{B}_{(s)}\to \lbrace \bar{K}^{*}, \phi\rbrace \gamma$ decays. We…
The status of Lattice QCD is reviewed with respect to results that are relevant to Standard Model phenomenology. I argue that in a few simple cases all (or almost all) systematic errors from the lattice calculation are under control.…

The two most precise determinations of the CKM matrix element V_us are based on the analyses of leptonic and semileptonic kaon decays. These studies also rely on the lattice QCD calculations of two hadronic parameters, namely the ratio of…
