We calculate long distance contributions to $K\to\pi\nu\bar{\nu}\,,\ \pi\pi\nu\bar{\nu}$, and $\pi\pi\pi\nu\bar{\nu}$ modes within the framework of chiral perturbation theory. We find that these contributions to decay rates of $K\to…

We revisit the calculation of the long distance contribution to $K_L \to \mu^+ \mu^-$. We discuss this process within the framework of chiral perturbation theory, and also using simple models for the $K_L \gamma^* \gamma^*$ vertex. We argue…

By employing the perturbative QCD(pQCD) factorization approach, we calculate the branching ratios and CP violating asymmetries of the four $\bar{B}_s^0 \to K\pi$ and $K K $ decays, with the inclusion of all known next-to-leading order (NLO)…

We calculate the long distance contribution to $D^{+,0}\to\pi^{+,0}l^+l^-$ decays by the use of a vector meson dominance model, in which the $\phi$-meson plays the central role. The branching ratios obtained are $10^{-6}$ and a few times…

We point out that the decay mode D^0 -> K^0 \bar{K^0} has no factorizable contribution. In the chiral perturbation language, treating D^0 as heavy, the O(p) contribution is zero. We calculate the nonfactorizable chiral loop contributions of…

I demonstrate that the short distance contribution to K --> Pi Pi decays must be supplemented with large distance effects. A hybrid calculation is outlined based on QCD diagrams supplemented by chiral contributions and Pi-Pi phaseshifts.
