The semileptonic kaon decays $K_{l2\gamma}$ and $K_{l3}$ are considered. We use the most general forms of the matrix elements for these decays. Additional terms could arise as a result of new tensor interactions between quarks and leptons.…

High contrast matter-wave interferometry is essential in various fundamental quantum mechanical experiments as well as for technical applications. Thereby, contrast and sensitivity are typically reduced by decoherence and dephasing effects.…
