The strong-phase differences between D0 and D0bar decays to common final states are crucial parameters in the determination of the CKM angle gamma from B to DK modes. The first quantum-correlated measurements of these parameters in several…
Motivated by new precise results on several $K_L$ decays, sensitive to the ${K_L \to \gamma \gamma}$ form factor, we present a new analysis of the $K_L\to \mu^+\mu^-$ long-distance amplitude based on a semi-phenomenological approach.…
We calculate the complete next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections to the $Z^0H^0$ production in association with a jet at the LHC. We study the impacts of the NLO QCD radiative corrections to the integrated and differential cross…

Using the 1/N_C expansion scheme and truncating the hadronic spectrum to the lowest-lying resonances, we match a meromorphic approximation to the < S P P > Green function onto QCD by imposing the correct large-momentum falloff, both…
In an analysis of a 2.92~fb$^{-1}$ data sample taken at 3.773~GeV with the BESIII detector operated at the BEPCII collider, we measure the absolute decay branching fractions to be $\mathcal B(D^0 \to K^-e^+\nu_e)=(3.505\pm 0.014 \pm…

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…

The matrix elements for $K\rightarrow \pi \pi \l \nu$ decays are described by four form factors $F,G,H$ and $R$. We complete previous calculations by evaluating $R$ at next-to-leading order in the low-energy expansion. We then estimate…
