Two pion decays of K mesons, K_L-K_S mass difference, two photon and the Dalitz decays of K_L are studied systematically by assuming that their amplitude is given by a sum of factorizable and non-factorizable ones. The former is estimated…
A qualitative account of the meson-meson and meson-baryon interactions using chiral Lagrangians and the inverse amplitude method in coupled channels is done. The method, imposing exact unitarity, proves to be very useful tool to extend the…
We construct the effective chiral Lagrangian for chiral perturbation theory in the mesonic odd-intrinsic-parity sector at order $p^6$. The Lagrangian contains 24 in principle measurable terms and no contact terms for the general case of…
The hadronic tau decay $\tau^- \to \nu_\tau \eta \pi^- \pi^0$ occurs through V-A weak current. In this decay mode, the vector current contribution is intrinsic parity violating and the axial current contribution is G parity violating. The…
We present a new contribution to the $K_L\rightarrow \gamma \gamma$ amplitude, which is ${\cal{O}}(p^4)$ within the counting rules of chiral perturbation theory. This direct (non-pole) amplitude, obtained from short-distance $s \rightarrow…

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…
In this work, we suggest that hard-pion chiral perturbation theory may be applicable to the real parts of nonleptonic B^{+} to D^{0}P^{+} and B^{+} to Dbar^{0}P^{+} (P=K,pi) decay amplitudes. These amplitudes play an important role in the…
The main aspects of chiral symmetry in QCD are presented. The necessity of its spontaneous breakdown is explained. Some low-energy theorems are reviewed. The role of chiral effective Lagrangians in the formulation and realization of chiral…

Effective tree Chiral Lagrangian is interpreted as a power series expansion of the kinematical variables. In the presence of the strong interaction this expansion is valid below the unitarity cut, hence in the unphysical region.…
