We determine $D$ and $D_s$ decay constants from lattice QCD with 2% errors, 4 times better than experiment and previous theory: $f_{D_s}$ = 241(3) MeV, $f_D$ = 207(4) MeV and $f_{D_s}/f_D$ = 1.164(11). We also obtain $f_K/f_{\pi}$ =…

During the last few years, new experimental and theoretical results have allowed ever-more-stringent tests of the Standard Model to be performed using kaon decays. This overview of recent progress includes updated results for the evaluation…

The actual limit of the unitarity condition of the first row of the CKM matrix |V_ud|^2+|V_us|^2+|V_ub|^2=1+\Delta_CKM is \Delta_CKM=-0.0001(6). In 2010 the same was \Delta_CKM=+0.0001(6). Despite the only difference of a sign, and with an…

We perform a new numerical analysis of hyperon semileptonic decays emphasizing the systematic uncertainties. The poor understanding of SU(3) symmetry breaking effects at second order in the vector form factor translates into a large error…

A very precise determination of V_us can be obtained from the semi-inclusive hadronic decay width of the tau lepton into final states with strangeness. The ratio of the Cabibbo-suppressed and Cabibbo-allowed tau decay widths directly…

We present a comparison of existing experimental data for the radiative leptonic decays $P\to\ell\nu_\ell\gamma$, where $P=K$ or $\pi$ and $\ell=e$ or $\mu$, from the KLOE, PIBETA, E787, ISTRA+ and OKA collaborations with theoretical…

In recent years, we used lattice QCD to calculate some quantities that were unknown or poorly known. They are the $q^2$ dependence of the form factor in semileptonic $D\to Kl\nu$ decay, the leptonic decay constants of the $D^+$ and $D_s$…

Lattice results, kinematical constraints and QCD dispersion relations are combined for the first time to derive model-independent bounds for QCD form factors and corresponding rates. To take into account the error bars on the lattice…

Measured ratios of decay rates for Ke3/K2\pi, K\mu3/K2\pi and K\mu3/Ke3 are presented. These measurements are based on K^+- decays collected in a dedicated run in 2003 by the NA48/2 experiment at CERN. The results obtained are Ke3/K2\pi =…

The first lattice result from the RBC and UKQCD Collaborations and improved perturbative calculations of $\varepsilon^{\prime}_K / \varepsilon_K$ have implied that the Standard-Model (SM) expectation deviates from measured values at the…

We present new lattice results of the K -> pion semileptonic form factors obtained from simulations with two flavors of dynamical twisted-mass fermions, using pion masses as light as 260 MeV. Our main result is f+(0) = 0.9560 (84), which,…

We present a measurement of the K-pi vector current form-factor parameters for the Ke3 decay. We use 328 pb$^{-1}$ of data collected in 2001 and 2002, corresponding to about 2 million Ke3 events. Measurements of semileptonic form factors…

Leptonic and semileptonic kaon decays represent till now the golden modes for the extraction of the Cabibbo angle from experiments, provided the relevant hadronic quantities, namely the ratio of the kaon and pion leptonic decay constants,…

Continuum and lattice methods are used to investigate systematic issues in the sum rule determination of $V_{us}$ using inclusive hadronic $\tau$ decay data. Results for $V_{us}$ employing assumptions for $D>4$ OPE contributions used in…

The recent observations of the purely leptonic decay $\Ds \to \mu^+ \nu_{\mu}$ and $\tau^+\nu_{\tau}$ at CLEO-c and $B$ factory may allow a possible contribution from a charged Higgs boson. One such measurement of the decay constant…

Several lattice collaborations performing simulations with 2+1 light dynamical quarks have experienced difficulties in fitting their data with standard Nf=3 chiral expansions at next-to-leading order, yielding low values of the quark…

We discuss the present status of global fits to the CKM unitary triangle using the latest experimental and theoretical constraints. For the required nonperturbative weak matrix elements, we use three-flavor lattice QCD averages from…

In kaon physics, several new precision measurements on flavour variables and CP violation have performed in the recent years. Presented are a new precise determination of the CKM parameter |V_us|, which combines the results of all…

We discuss radiative corrections to K_{e3} and pi_{e3} decays within chiral perturbation theory with virtual photons and leptons. We then present the extraction of the CKM elements V_{us} and V_{ud} using the presently available…

We provide a 0.8\%-accurate determination of $V_{cs}$ from combining experimental results for the differential rate of $D \rightarrow K$ semileptonic decays with precise form factors that we determine from lattice QCD. This is the first…
