Rare Kaon decays and CP violation are important tools to test the Standard Model and its extensions. We describe kaon physics observables testing CP violation and more generally short distance physics. Channels under consideration will be K…
Improved branching ratios were measured for the $K_L \to 3 \pi^0 $ decay in a neutral beam at the CERN SPS with the NA31 detector: $\Gamma (K_L \to 3 \pi^0) / \Gamma (K_L \to \pi^+ \pi^- \pi^0) = 1.611 \pm 0.037$ and $\Gamma (K_L \to 3…
Using a 281 pb^{-1} data sample collected at the psi(3770) with the CLEO-c detector, we present the first absolute branching fraction measurement of the decay D^0 rightarrow K^-pi^+pi^-e^+nu_e at a statistical significance of about 4.0…

The hadronization structure of $\tau^- \to \eta \pi^- \pi^0 \nu_\tau$ decays is analyzed using Chiral Perturbation Theory with resonances, considering only the contribution of the lightest meson resonances at leading order in the $1/N_C$…
Recent measurements by the NA48 at CERN of selected $K_L$ decays are presented. These are the branching ratios and form factors for channels $K_L\to \pi^{\pm}\pi^0\e^{\mp}\nu_e$ (final result), $K_L\to\pi^{\pm}e^{\mp}\nu_e$ and $K_L\to…
We report on recent results on the decay of the phi into pi^+ pi^- and phi radiative decays into pi^0 pi^0 gamma and pi^0 eta gamma, which require the consideration of the final state interaction of a pair of mesons in a region inaccessible…
Starting from the Chiral Perturbation Theory Lagrangian, but keeping different masses for the charged and neutral mesons, and using a previously developed non-perturbative unitary scheme that generates the lightest meson-meson resonances,…
Radiative muon decay in the kinematics similar to the neutrinoless decay $\mu\to e\gamma$ is considered. Radiative corrections due to 1-loop virtual photons and emission of additional soft or hard photons are taken into account. Analytical…
The branching fractions of the decays $\tau \to a_{1} \pi \nu_\tau$, $\tau \to K_{1} \pi \nu_\tau$ and $\tau \to K_{1} K \nu_\tau$ are calculated in the framework of the extended $U(3)\times U(3)$ chiral Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model. There are…
We report on the first observation of the decay KL -> pi0 ee gamma by the KTeV E799 experiment at Fermilab. Based upon a sample of 48 events with an estimated background of 3.6 +/- 1.1 events, we measure the KL -> pi0 ee gamma branching…
We review the status of theory and experiment of very rare and forbidden kaon decays. We then review the radiative non-leptonic decays, and the associated Dalitz pair modes. We pay particular attention to the study of long distance physics…
We predict differential decay distributions for phi->rho gamma gamma and phi -> omega gamma gamma using chiral perturbation theory. We also consider the isospin violating decay phi -> omega pi^0. Experimental information on these decays can…

In this paper we study two kinds of tau decays: (a) tau- --> (rho pi-,omega pi-, phi pi-, K*0 K-) nu(tau), which belong to Delta S=0 processes and (b) Delta S = 1 processes, like tau- --> (rho K-, omega K-, phi K-, \bar{K*0} pi-) nu(tau),…
We explored various cases for the branching ratios (BRs) of $B_s\to K^+K^-$, $B_s\to K^0\bar{K}^0$ and $B_d\to \pi^+ \pi^-$ decays. We study the possibility of determining $\gamma $ by using the following the measurements: (a) BRs of…
A consistent description of the pi0 pi0 invariant mass distribution in the phi(1020) -> f0(980) gamma -> pi0 pi0 gamma decay and the pi0 eta in phi(1020) -> a0(980) gamma -> pi0 eta gamma is suggested. A search for the consequences of the…
