In this note we present a study of the radiative tails in the invariant mass spectra of muon or electron pairs from J/psi, psi(2S) and Upsilon(1S) decays which is due to an additional emission of a photon. An analytic formula for dilepton…
We have calculated the radiative corrections to the decay $\tau\to \pi(K) \nu_\tau$, taking to account internal bremsstrahlung and structure dependent radiation in the radiative decay and point meson, hadronic structure dependent and short…
We study the radiative pion decay of $\pi ^{+} \to e^{+}\nu_{e}\gamma$ in the chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) and light front quark model (LFQM). The vector and axial-vector hadronic form factors ($F_{V,A}$) for the $\pi\to\gamma$…
We calculate the rates and lepton (l) invariant mass distributions for decays of the form 0^{-+}->l^+l^-\gamma, which are important radiative corrections to the purely leptonic decays 0^{-+}->l^+l^-. Our approach uses the loop diagrams…
We have studied the radiative decay of the 2s state of one-electron and one-muon ions, where the two-photon mechanism plays an important role. Due to the nuclear size corrections the radiative decay of the 2s state in the electron and muon…

We calculate the radiative corrections to the decays $\tau\to M \nu_\tau$ and $\pi \to l \nu_\l$, where the meson $M$ is $M=\pi$ or $K$ and the lepton $l$ is $l = e$ or $\mu$. We perform a complete calculation, which includes internal…
We consider the lowest order radiative corrections for the decay $K^{\pm}\to \pi^0 e^{\pm} \nu$, usually referred as $K_{e3}^{\pm}$ decay. This decay is the best way to extract the value of the $V_{us}$ element of the CKM matrix. The…
The combination of simple dynamics, small number of available decay channels, and extremely well controlled radiative and loop corrections, make charged pion decays a sensitive means for testing the underlying symmetries and the…
We present an improved theoretical prediction of the positron energy spectrum for the polarised Michel decay $\mu^+\to e^+ \nu_e\bar{\nu}_\mu$. In addition to the full next-to-next-to-leading order correction of order $\alpha^2$ in the…
We calculate the decays of baryon resonances to the pion + Roper resonance channel in the frame of the flux-tube breaking model. The baryon and meson wavefunctions we use are obtained from a linear confinement semi-relativistic constituent…

Decay rates of the positronium molecule $\text{Ps}_{2}$ into two photons and into an electron-positron pair are determined. Previous studies find that these rates are very different, \[ \Gamma\left(\text{Ps}_{2}\to…
We calculate radiative corrections to the flavor-changing neutral current process K --> pi l+ l-, both for charged and neutral kaon decays. While the soft-photon approximation is shown to work well for the muon channels, we discuss the…
We present a theoretical prediction for the photon spectrum in radiative Upsilon decay including the effects of resumming the endpoint region, E_\gamma -> M_\Upsilon/2. Our approach is based on NRQCD and the soft collinear effective theory.…
We reconsider QED radiative corrections (RC) to the $\pi^{0}\to e^{+}e^{-}$ decay width. One kind of RC investigated earlier has a renormalization group origin and can be associated with the final state interaction of electron and positron.…
