KLOE has measured most decay branching ratios of Ks, Kl and K+/- mesons. It has also measured the Kl and the K+- lifetime and determined the shape of the form factors involved in kaon semileptonic decays. We present in the following a…
We present a study of $D \rightarrow K, l \nu$ semileptonic decays on the lattice which employs the HISQ action for both the charm and the light quarks. We work with MILC unquenched $N_f = 2 + 1$ lattices and determine the scalar form…
We study the implications of various supersymmetric models on the rare $K^+ \to \pi^+ \nu \bar\nu$ and $K_L \to \pi^0 \nu \bar\nu$ decays. Although large effects are possible in generic supersymmetric models, most of the known…
We explore four different strategies to extract the D-meson semileptonic decay form factors from the Green functions computed in QCD numerically on the lattice. From our numerical tests we find that two such strategies, based on the use of…

In light of the first observation of the semileptonic decay $B^{0}_{s}\to K^{-}\mu^{+}\nu_{\mu}$ by the LHCb collaboration, we revisit the determination of the CKM parameter $|V_{ub}|$ from exclusive semileptonic $B$-meson decays. A…
