We present an analysis of exclusive charmless semileptonic B-meson decays based on 83 million BBbar pairs recorded with the BABAR detector at the Upsilon(4S) resonance. Using isospin symmetry, we measure branching fractions B(B0 --> pi- l+…
We report the status of the Heavy Flavour Averaging Group (HFLAV) averages of the $\tau$ lepton measurements We then update the latest published HFLAV global fit of the $\tau$ lepton branching fractions (Spring 2017) with recent results by…
We analyze the numerical determination of the quark mixing factor V(us) from hyperon semileptonic decays. The discrepancies between the results obtained in two previous studies are clarified. Our fits indicate sizeable SU(3) breaking…
We report on a lattice calculation of the form factors A_0 and A_3 for the pseudoscalar to vector meson semileptonic decay Bbar^0 to rho^+ l^- nubar_l. We find that resonant (or pole-type) contributions alone are unable to describe these…
We report the results of a study of the exclusive charmless semileptonic B0->pilnu decay undertaken with approximately 227 million BBbar pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector. The analysis uses events in which…
The value of the V_{ud} matrix element of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix can be derived from nuclear superallowed beta decays, neutron decay, and pion beta decay. We survey current world data for all three. Today, the most…
We point out that the recently increased value of the angle $\gamma$ in the Unitarity Triangle (UT), determined in tree-level decays to be $\gamma=(74.0^{+5.0}_{-5.8})^\circ$ by the LHCb collaboration, combined with the most recent value of…
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 determine the complete set of axial and vector form factors for the Ds to {\phi}l{\nu} decay from full lattice QCD for the first time. The valence quarks are implemented using the Highly Improved Staggered Quark action and we normalise…
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…
Nuclear beta decays between (J^pi,T) = (0^+,1) analog states yield the best value for the Vud element of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix. Current world data establish the corrected Ft values of 14 separate superallowed transitions to a…
The UT plots played already for three decades an important role in the tests of the SM and the determination of the CKM parameters. As of 2022, among the four CKM parameters, $V_{us}$ and $\beta$ are already measured with respectable…
We report on determinations of |Vub| resulting from studies of the branching fraction and q^2 distributions in exclusive semileptonic B decays that proceed via the b->u transition. Our data set consists of the 9.7x10^6 BBbar meson pairs…
We calculate, in the framework of QCD sum rules and to next-to-leading order in perturbation theory, the universal function $\xi_3(v\cdot v')$ which appears at order $1/m_Q$ in the heavy quark expansion of meson weak decay form factors. We…
The fully differential angular distribution for the rare flavor-changing neutral current decay \bar{B}_d^0 -> \bar{K}^{*0} (-> K- pi+) mu+ mu- is studied. The emphasis is placed on accurate treatment of the contribution from the processes…
In the Standard Model, the charged current of the weak interaction is governed by a unitary quark mixing matrix that also leads to CP violation. Measurement of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix elements is essential to searches for…
The mass of the strange quark is determined from SU(3)-breaking effects in the tau hadronic width. Compared to previous analyses, the contributions from scalar and pseudoscalar spectral functions, which suffer from large perturbative…

We study the asymptotics of the complex modified Korteweg-de Vries equation $\partial_t u + \partial_x^3 u = -|u|^2 \partial_x u$, which can be used to model vortex filament dynamics. In the real-valued case, it is known that solutions with…
