We review the physics of rare, leptonic, and hadronic decays of charmed mesons based on the results submitted to this conference (EPS 95, Brussles).
We discuss the strong and radiative decays of the decuplet of baryon resonances to the baryon octet in chiral perturbation theory. We comment on the implications for the polarisability of the nucleon.
The combination of simple dynamics, small number of available decay channels, and extremely well controlled radiative and loop corrections, make charged pion decays a sensitive means for testing the underlying symmetries and the…
Although the Standard Model has been firmly established, the search for physics beyond the SM is ongoing by investigating new experimental probes. Rare charm decays are a unique tool to access New Physics studies. The high luminosity…
The present status of CP violation in decays of neutral kaons is reviewed. In addition selected rare decays of both K and B mesons are discussed. The emphasis is in particular on observables that can be reliably calculated and thus offer…
We discuss two topics concerning the application of chiral perturbation theory to nuclear physics: (1) the latest developments in the study of possible kaon condensation in dense baryonic systems; (2) nuclear responses to electro-weak…
A model-independent expression for the Dalitz plot of the semileptonic decays of a neutral kaon $K_{\mu 3}^0$, including radiative corrections to order $\mathcal{O}[(\alpha / \pi )(q/M_1)]$, where $q$ is the four-momentum transfer and $M_1$…
We present an overview of rare K, D and B decays. Particular attention is devoted to those flavour-changing neutral-current processes of K and B mesons that offer the possibility of new significant tests of the Standard Model. The…
In the framework of the heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory (HBChPT), we calculate the radiative decay amplitudes of the singly heavy baryons up to the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO). In the numerical analysis, we adopt the heavy…
Kaon physics provides a unique opportunity to identify new flavour and CP violating interactions beyond the Standard Model (SM). In the SM, implied by the hierarchical structure of the CKM matrix and the GIM mechanism, flavour changing…
The experimental status of the $K \to \pi \nu \bar{\nu}$ search is presented. The $K \to \pi \nu \bar{\nu}$ decay is sensitive to New Physics because it is theoretically pristine and highly suppressed. The $K_L^0 \to \pi^0 \nu \bar{\nu}$…
The non-leptonic hyperon decays are analyzed up to one-loop order including all counterterms in the framework of heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory. We use the exchange of the spin-3/2 decuplet resonances as an indication of which…
We study two and three meson decays of the tau lepton within the framework of the Resonance Chiral Theory, that is based on the following properties of QCD: its chiral symmetry in the massless case, its large-N_C limit, and the asymptotic…
The status of chiral perturbation theory in the meson sector is illustrated with several topical examples. The longtime discrepancy between theory and experiment for the charged pion polarizabilities has now been resolved in favour of the…
The measurements of rare leptonic and semi-leptonic B decays performed at the LHC, not showing any significant deviations from the Standard Model expectations, put strong constraints on new physics. A brief account of the impact of recent…
Theoretical aspects of kaon and muon decays are reviewed. In particular, three topics on kaon and muon decays, namely $K \to \pi\nu \bar{\nu}$ processes, T violation in $K^+ \to \pi^0\mu^+ \nu$ decay and lepton flavor violation in muon…
I give an overview of current plans for kaon physics at BNL. The program is centered on the rare decay modes K+ --> pi+ nu nubar and KL --> pi0 nu nubar.
The Kaon physics program at CERN will be shortly presented, addressing the most recent results from the NA48/2 and NA62 experiments at the CERN SPS and future prospects.
The rare decays of the $K$ meson have had a long tradition as a laboratory for testing the symmetry properties of the weak interactions, and the manner in which these symmetries are broken by higher order effects. Present--day interest is…
The prospect of experimental verification of the large extra dimension scenario in rare decays is discussed. The case of J/\Psi and \Upsilon to photon + missing energy is calculated in detail, and it is shown that the limit on the…
