We study the interactions of systems of two and three nondegenerate mesons composed of pions and kaons at maximal isospin using lattice QCD, specifically $\pi^+K^+$, $\pi^+\pi^+K^+$ and $K^+K^+\pi^+$. Utilizing the stochastic LapH method,…
The dependence of K_{S,L}->\pi^{+}\pi^{-}\gamma decay probabilities on photon polarization is calculated. The phases of terms of amplitude that arise from the pion-pion interaction are obtained by using a simple realistic model of pion-pion…
Interferometry with neutral kaons at KLOE is reviewed. The preliminary results on phi->KS KL->pi+pi- pi+pi- and decoherence parameter are presented. The impact of C-even background and regenerators is shortly discussed and updated. Finally…
The rare decays $K^0_L \to\mu^+\mu^-$ and $K^0_S \to\mu^+\mu^-$ have long been regarded as difficult channels to extract short-distance physics because they are dominated by long-distance contributions via two-photon exchanges. A…
A recent analysis of data on the two photon production of the $\eta_c$ and its decay to $K(K\pi)$ has determined the $K\pi$ $S$-wave amplitude in a "model-independent" way assuming primarily that the additional kaon is a spectator in this…
After $CP$ violation was discovered in the $K_L \to \pi^+\pi^-$ decay, many theories were proposed to explain it, and the Kobayashi-Maskawa model and the Superweak model lasted for many years as strong candidates. High-precision kaon…
Amplitude models are applied to studies of resonance structure in $D^0\to K^0_S K^- \pi^+$ and $D^0\to K^0_S K^+ \pi^-$ decays using $pp$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3.0\,\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ collected by the…
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 quantum interference between the decays of entangled neutral kaons is studied in the process $\phi\rightarrow K_S K_L \rightarrow\pi^+\pi^-\pi^+\pi^-$, which exhibits the characteristic Einstein--Podolsky--Rosen correlations that…
We review a new method in order to determine the parameter $\bar{\eta}$ of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix from $K\rightarrow \mu^+\mu^-$ decays, using interference effects in the time-dependent decay rate. Furthermore, we discuss a…
I review recent lattice results in kaon physics, particularly in the determination of V_{us} and the B_K parameter of K^0-\bar{K}^0 mixing. I use lattice data to argue for the need of developing SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R chiral perturbation…
Many of the experiments proposed to look for interference CP violation in neutral B mesons concentrate on tagged decay into CP eigenstates. Aleksan, Dunietz, Kayser and Le Diberder have shown that one can also look for interference CP…
We study the effects of periodic matter in kaon regeneration, motivated by the possibility of parametric resonance in neutrino oscillations. The large imaginary parts of the forward kaon-nucleon scattering amplitudes and the decay width…
We reexamine, update and extend a suggestion we made fifteen years ago for measuring the photon polarization in $b \to s\gamma$ by observing in $B \to K\pi\pi\gamma$ an asymmetry of the photon with respect to the $K\pi\pi$ plane.…
We present the first observation of quantum interference in the process phi -> KS KL ->pi+pi-pi+pi-. This analysis is based on data collected with the KLOE detector at the e^+e^- collider DAFNE in 2001--2002 for an integrated luminosity of…
A review of the present experimental status of the rates and the Dalitz-plot slope parameters in CP conserving K->2\pi and K->3\pi decays is given. The corresponding isospin amplitudes have been determined by a common fit to the recent…
Two pion Decays of K mesons, K_L-K_S mass difference, two photon decay and the Dalitz decays of K_L are studied systematically by assuming that their amplitude can be described in terms of a sum of short distance and long distance…
Adopting a procedure previously proposed to quantitatively study two-dimensional pion interferometry, an equivalent 2-D chi^2 analysis was performed to test the resolving power of that method when applied to less favorable conditions, i.e.,…
The $\phi \to K^+K^-,K^{0}_{L},K^{0}_{S},K^{0}\bar K^0$ decays are studied using the method of phenomenological chiral Lagrangians. Calculated values for partial widths for these decay channels are compared with available experimental data.
We use effective hadronic field theory to study in-medium properties of the $\phi$ meson. The dominant decay channels $\phi\toK^{+}K^{-}$ and $\phi\to\pi\rho$ are modeled using an SU(3) chiral Lagrangian with normal and abnormal parities.…
