We compute the two-loop electroweak corrections to the radiative decays of the B meson in the SM. Electroweak effects reduce the Wilson coefficient C_7^eff(mw) by 2.6% for a light Higgs boson of about 100 GeV and are less important for a…
We present new calculations of the leading-order one-loop amplitude and the decay rate for $H\to \nu \bar{\nu} \gamma$ within the standard model, employing reduction to a set of basic Passarino-Veltman functions resulting in more concise…
We use a simple perturbation theory argument and measurements of charmonium leptonic widths $\Gamma (\psi_{NS} \rightarrow e^+e^-)$ to estimate the ratio \mbox{$R_\circ \equiv {\vert \Psi _{\eta_{c1S}}(0) \vert}^2 /{\vert\Psi_{\psi_{1…
In 1997 each LEP experiment collected approximately 55 inv. pb of data at a center-of-mass energy of 183 GeV. These data yield a sample of candidate e+e- -> WW events from which the mass of the W boson, Mw, is measured. The LEP combined…
The width for the mu decay is calculated in the V-A theory leaving open the possibility of non zero neutrino masses. It is shown that not only the agreement with the experimental data is kept, but the smallness of the experimental error…
The mass and the total decay width of the W boson are measured with the L3 detector at the LEP e+e- collider using W-boson pairs produced in 0.7/fb of data collected at centre-of-mass energies between 161 and 209GeV. Combining semi-leptonic…
The search for neutrinoless double beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) is currently one of the key objectives in neutrino physics research. The decay rate of $0\nu\beta\beta$ decay depends on the effective Majorana neutrino mass $|\langle m…
The mass of the W boson has been measured by the LEP collaborations from the data recorded during the LEP2 programme at e+ e- centre of mass energies from 161 to 209 GeV, giving the result : mw = 80.450 +/- 0.039 GeV/c^2. This paper…

We calculate the radiative corrections to the decays $\tau\to M \nu_\tau$ and $\pi \to l \nu_\l$, where the meson $M$ is $M=\pi$ or $K$ and the lepton $l$ is $l = e$ or $\mu$. We perform a complete calculation, which includes internal…
The contribution to precision electroweak measurements due to TeV physics which couples primarily to the $W^\pm$ and $Z$ bosons may be parameterized in terms of the three `oblique correction' parameters, S, T and U. We extend this…
We present an update of the Standard Model fit to electroweak precision data. We include newest experimental results on the top quark mass, the W mass and width, and the Higgs boson mass bounds from LEP, Tevatron and the LHC. We also…
Recent calculations have significantly decreased the scheme and residual scale dependence of basic radiative corrections of the Standard Electroweak Model. This leads to a theoretically accurate prediction of the W-boson mass M(W), as well…
We estimate the decay rates of $\eta_c\rightarrow 2\gamma$, $\eta_c'\rightarrow 2\gamma$, and $J/\psi\rightarrow e^+ e^-$, $\psi^\prime\rightarrow e^+e^-$, by taking into account both relativistic and QCD radiative corrections. The decay…

We present O(alpha_s^2) corrections to the decay t-->bW in the limit of a very large top quark mass, m_t >> m_W. We find that the O(alpha_s^2) effects decrease the top quark decay width Gamma_t by about 2%: Gamma_t =…
