The experimental determination of low energy pi K scattering phase shifts would assist in determining scattering lengths as well as low energy constants of chiral perturbation theory for which sum rules have been constructed. The FOCUS…
In this work, we calculate the branching ratios and CP asymmetries of the decays of $B \to \pi \pi$ and $\pi K$ in the frame of QCD factorization in the heavy quark limit. We also compare the results with the estimates by using conventional…

We study the $K \to 2 \pi$ decays using the $U_L(3) \times U_R(3)$ version of the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with the effective $\Delta S = 1$ nonleptonic weak interaction. The $\Delta I = {3/2}$ amplitude is in reasonable agreement with…
In this decade one expects a very significant progress in measuring the branching ratios for several rare $K$ and $B$ decays, in particular for the decays $K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar\nu$, $K_L\to\pi^0\nu\bar\nu$, $B_s\to\mu^+\mu^+$ and…
Recently, the BES collaboration has published an extensive partial wave analysis of experimental data on J/psi -> phi pi+pi-, J/psi -> omega pi+pi-, J/psi -> phi K+K- and J/psi -> omega K+K-. These new results are analyzed here, with full…
The branching fraction of the decay $\eta' \to \pi\rho$ is calculated in the chiral quark NJL model. The decay exists due to the mass difference between $u$- and $d$-quarks leading to $\pi^{0}-\eta^{'}$ mixing. Two different approaches are…
Delta I=3/2, K to Pi Pi matrix elements are calculated on 68 configurations of quenched 24^3 x 64 lattices using the DBW2 action, and domain wall fermions with L_s=16. The lattice spacing is a^(-1)=1.3 GeV, corresponding to a physical…
We review some recent theoretical results on radiative rare kaon decays. Particular attention is devoted to the channels $K\to \pi l\bar{% l}$ and $K\to \pi \pi \gamma$, where we are (or might be) able to extract the short distance…
We properly define off-shell $K\to\pi$ transition amplitudes and use them to extract information for on-shell $K\to\pi\pi$ amplitudes within Chiral Perturbation Theory. At order $p^2$ in the chiral expansion all three parameters of weak…
In this note, we clarify a point concerning the power divergence in lattice calculations of $\Delta I = 1/2$ $K\to\pi\pi$ decay amplitudes. There have been worries that this divergence might show up in the Minkowski amplitudes at…
We discuss a number of old and new methods for computing $K\to\pi\pi$ amplitudes on the lattice. They all involve a non-perturbative determination of matching coefficients. We show how problems related to operator mixing can be greatly…
