We have used the latest data from the ALEPH Collaboration to extract values for QCD condensates up to dimension d=12 in the V-A channel and up to dimension d=8 in the V, A and V+A channels. Performing 2- and 3-parameter fits, we obtain new…
The $\b$ decay does not receive any nonspectator contributions and hence its theoretical calculation is relatively clean. Two different methods are employed for the study of $\b$. In the first method, both $b$ and $s$ quarks are treated as…
We present a concise review of the recent theoretical progress concerning the standard model calculation of the inclusive radiative Bbar -> X_s gamma decay. Particular attention is thereby devoted to the calculations of the…
Effective chiral theory of mesons is applied to study the four decay modes of $\tau\to\rho\pi\pi\nu$. Theoretical values of the branching ratios are in agreement with the data. The theory predicts that the $a_{1}$ resonance plays a dominant…

The interaction potential between the alpha particle and the deformed parent nucleus was used for description of the decay of superheavy nuclei. It consists of centrifugal, nuclear and Coulomb parts suitably modified for deformed nuclei.…
Many models for physics beyond the Standard Model predict lepton-flavour violating decays of charged leptons at a level which may become observable very soon. We investigate the decays of a Tau-lepton into three charged leptons (Tau ->…
We give a review of the theoretical status of the lifetime predictions in the standard model. In case of $(\Delta \Gamma/ \Gamma)_{B_s}$ we are already in a rather advanced stage. We obtain…
We study the gauge invariance of the decay rate of the false vacuum for the model in which the scalar field responsible for the false vacuum decay has gauge quantum number. In order to calculate the decay rate, one should integrate out the…
We consider a solution $u(\cdot,t)$ to an initial boundary value problem for time-fractional diffusion-wave equation with the order $\alpha \in (0,2) \setminus \{ 1\}$ where $t$ is a time variable. We first prove that a suitable norm of…
We would like to comment on a recent paper by Sturrock et al. [1] in which the authors analyze decay data acquired by an ionization chamber in our institute. They interpret the variations in the data as solar-driven changes in the decay…
We discuss the longitudinal and transverse $\tau$-polarization in inclusive decays of hadrons containing $b$-quarks. The calculation is performed by means of an OPE in HQET. Some mathematical difficulties in calculating transverse…
