We discuss various models and Chiral Perturbation Theory results for the $K_{l4}$ form factors $F$ and $G$. We check in how much a simple parametrization with a few parameters can be used to extract information from experiment.
The decays $K_L \to \gamma\gamma$ and $K_L \to \ell^+ \ell^- \gamma$ are studied at the leading order $p^6$ in Chiral Perturbation Theory. One-loop contributions stemming from the odd intrinsic parity $|\Delta S| = 1$ effective Lagrangian…
We present a model-independent analysis of $K^+\to\pi^+\ell^+\ell^-$ and $K_S\to\pi^0\ell^+\ell^-$ decays, including $K\to 3 \pi$ unitarity corrections and a general decomposition of the dispersive amplitude. From the existing data on…

We calculate the momentum dependent form factors of $P \to \gamma^* \gamma^*$($P=\pi^{0}, \eta$) within the light-front quark model. Using the form factors, we examine the decays of $P \to l^+ l^-$, $P \to l^+ l^- \gamma$ and $P \to l^+ l^-…
The $K_L\to\pi^{\pm}\pi^0e^{\mp}\nu_e(\bar\nu_e)$ decay was investigated with the NA48 detector at CERN SPS using a beam of long-lived neutral kaons. The branching ratio $Br(K_L\to\pi^{\pm}\pi^0e^{\mp}\nu_e(\bar\nu_e))=(5.21\pm…

The decay K_L -> pi0 e+ e- is being searched for as a signal of direct Delta S = 1 CP violation. We provide a thorough updating of the analysis of the three components of the decay: 1) Direct CP violation, 2) CP violation through the mass…
We study a new $K\rightarrow\pi\pi$ decay channel with gluons in intermediate state which is normally neglected within the factorization framework. Both short-distance and long-distance parts of the amplitude are calculated. The chiral…

The KTeV E799 experiment has conducted a search for the rare decay $K_{L}\to\pi^{0}\pi^{0}\gamma$ via the topology $K_{L}\to\pi^{0}\pi^{0}_D\gamma$ (where $\pi^0_D\to\gamma e^+e^-$). Due to Bose statistics of the $\pi^0$ pair and the real…

Motivated by the LHCb measurement, we analyze the $B_s\to \pi^+\pi^-\ell^+\ell^-$ decay in the kinematics region where the pion pairs have invariant mass in the range $0.5$-$1.3$ GeV and muon pairs do not originate from a resonance. The…
