The E799-II (KTeV) experiment at Fermilab has collected 83262 $K_L \to e^+e^-\gamma$ events above a background of 79 events. We measure a decay width, normalized to the $K_L \to \pi^0\pi^0\pi^0_D$ (\pi^0 \to \gamma\gamma, \pi^0 to…

There are two main ways of looking for new physics, direct searches and precision measurements. The latter are sensitive to a broader spectrum of models; they also can be sensitive to higher energy scales than what can be reached through…

Light meson ( $\pi,\ \sigma,\ a_0$) properties in the environment with chiral imbalance are analyzed with the help of meson effective Lagrangian associated with QCD. New spatial parity violating decays of scalar mesons arise as a result of…

We present Feynman rules for the strong and $\Delta S = 1$ weak chiral Lagrangian which are relevant for calculating $K\to \pi\pi\pi$ decay amplitudes. Feynman rules for this specific case turn out to be too lengthy to be included in a…

The decay of $\Lambda_b\to\Sigma_c^{(*)}\pi l{\bar\nu}$ processes are calculated in the framework of heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory with help of the $1/N_c$ expansion. The decay rate distributions over $v\cdot v^{\prime}$ where $v$…

A search for rare decay $\eta' \rightarrow 4 \pi^{0}$ has been performed with GAMS-4$\pi$ Setup. The new upper limit for decay was established $BR(\eta' \rightarrow 4 \pi^{0}) < 3.2 \cdot 10^{-4}$ at 90\% confidence level. The $\pi^{-} p$…

Using data from the FOCUS (E831) experiment at Fermilab, we present a new measurement of the branching ratio for the Cabibbo-favored decay mode $D^0 \to K^-K^+\pi^-\pi^+$. From a sample of $2669 \pm 101$ fully reconstructed $D^0 \to…

We present preliminary results on the natural line width, $\Gamma(D^{*+})$, in the transition $D^{*}(2010)^{+} \rightarrow D^0 \pi^+$. The $D^0$ is reconstructed in two decay channels: $D^0 \rightarrow K^-\pi^+$ and $D^0 \rightarrow…
