The transition amplitude of a kaon to a pion and two off-shell photons is studied. First, it is computed at leading order (one-loop level) of the Chiral Perturbation Theory expansion. Explicit analytical results for the leading-order…
Using $471 \times 10^6 ~B \bar B$ decays recorded with the \babar\ detector at the PEP-II $e^+ e^-$ storage ring, we present the time-dependent \CP\ asymmetry measurement in the radiative penguin decay mode $B^0 \rightarrow K^0_S…
The decays $K^{+} \rightarrow \pi^{+} e^{+} e^{-}$, $K_{S} \rightarrow \pi^{0} e^{+} e^{-}$ and $K_{L} \rightarrow \pi^{0} e^{+} e^{-}$ are reinvestigated within the framework of chiral perturbation theory. The counterterms induced by…
The interference between the K+K- S-wave and P-wave amplitudes in B_s -> J/psi K+K- decays with the K+K- pairs in the region around the phi(1020) resonance is used to determine the variation of the difference of the strong phase between…
Starting from the Chiral Perturbation Theory Lagrangian, but keeping different masses for the charged and neutral mesons, and using a previously developed non-perturbative unitary scheme that generates the lightest meson-meson resonances,…
We measure the time-dependent $CP$ asymmetry in the radiative-penguin decay $B^0 \to {{K^0_{S}}} \pi^- \pi^+ \gamma$, using a sample of $471$ million $\Upsilon(4S) \to B{\kern 0.18em\overline{\kern -0.18em B}}$ events recorded with the…
We investigate the CP violation in the decay process $\bar B_{s} \rightarrow \phi(\rho,\omega) P \rightarrow K^{+}K^{-}P$ by considering the interference effects of $\phi\rightarrow K^{+}K^{-}$, $\rho\rightarrow K^{+}K^{-}$ and…
The masses of the strange mesons ($K$, $K^*$ and $\phi$) are investigated in the presence of strong magnetic fields. The changes in the masses of these mesons arise from the mixing of the pseusdoscalar and vector mesons in the presence of a…
We review the physics of purely leptonic decays of $\pi^\pm$, $K^\pm$, $D^{\pm}$, $D_s^\pm$, and $B^\pm$ pseudoscalar mesons. The measured decay rates are related to the product of the relevant weak-interaction-based CKM matrix element of…
We investigate the $D_{s}^{+} \rightarrow K^{+} K^{-} \pi^{+}$ decay theoretically with the final state interactions, which is based on the chiral unitary approach and takes into account the external and internal $W$-emission mechanisms at…
We examine the uncertainties involved in the off-mass-shell extrapolation of the $K\rightarrow \pi\pi$ decay amplitude with emphasis on those aspects that have so far been overlooked or ignored. Among them are initial-state interactions,…
We present a measurement of relative partial widths and decay rate CP asymmetries in $K^-K^+$ and $\pi^-\pi^+$ decays of $\Do$ mesons produced in $p\bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 1.96 \TeV$. We use a sample of $2\times10^5$…
In this overview, I discuss some of the open issues in Kaon physics. After briefly touching on lattice calculations of Kaon dynamics and tests of CPT, my main focus of attention is on epsilon prime over epsilon and on constraints on the CKM…
We examine a recently published calculation which predicts an oscillatory behaviour for the decay of Lambdas produced together with a neutral kaon, and proposes a new expression for the wavelength of kaon strangeness oscillations. We modify…

Strategies that utilise the interference effects within $B^{\pm} \to DK^{\pm}$ decays hold great potential for improving our sensitivity to the CKM angle $\gamma$. However, in order to exploit fully this potential, detailed knowledge of the…
We extend our recent works on the two-pion $S$-wave resonance contributions to the kaon-pion ones in the $B$ meson hadronic charmonium decay modes based on the perturbative QCD approach. The $S$-wave $K\pi$ time-like form factor in its…
In this talk, we present our recent work on the $K\ra\pi \bar{l} l$ decays in a combined framework of chiral perturbation theory and Large--$N_c$ QCD under the dominance of a minimal narrow resonance structure. The proposed description…
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…
