I review the status of chiral perturbation theory in the one-nucleon sector and give some predictions to be tested. I then discuss various methods to go to higher energies (inclusion of the Delta(1232), dispersion relations) and also to…
The use of SU(3) chiral perturbation theory in the analysis of low energy meson-baryon interactions is discussed. It is emphasized that short distance effects, arising from propagation of Goldstone bosons over distances smaller than a…

I give a very short introduction to Chiral Perturbation Theory and an overview of the next-to-next-to-leading order three-flavour calculations done. I discuss those relevant for an improvement in the accuracy of the measurement of $V_{us}$…
The interactions of $\rho$, $K^*$, $\phi$ and $\omega$ vector-mesons with low-momentum $\pi$, $K$ and $\eta$ pseudoscalar mesons are constrained by chiral symmetry. We derive a heavy vector-meson chiral Lagrangian in which the vector mesons…
We compute the hadronic light-by-light scattering contributions to the muon anomalous magnetic moment, $\amulbl$, in chiral perturbation theory that are enhanced by large logarithms and a factor of $N_C$. They depend on a low-energy…

Motivated by recent experimental results and ongoing measurements, we review the chiral perturbation theory prediction for radiative Ke3 decays (neutral kaons). Special emphasis is given on the stability of the inner…
