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…

We analyse the structure of long distance (LD) contributions to the CP-violating parameter epsilon_K, that generally affect both the absorptive (Gamma_12) and the dispersive (M_12) parts of the K0 -- K0bar mixing amplitude. We point out…

We show that long distance contributions to the rare decays K -> pi nu nu-bar and K -> pi l+ l- can be computed using lattice QCD. The proposed approach requires well established methods, successfully applied in the calculations of…

We propose a lattice-QCD-suitable framework for computing the two-photon long-distance contribution to the complex $K_{\rm L}\rightarrow\mu^+\mu^-$ decay amplitude, where QED is treated perturbatively in the continuum and infinite-volume.…

We estimate the long distance contribution to the $K^+ \rightarrow \pi^+ \nu \bar\nu$ decay amplitude using chiral perturbation theory. We find that it is likely to be less than a few percent of the part of the short distance contribution…

We report on some recent progress made in understanding weak matrix elements of mesons in the context of the next-to-leading order of the large-Nc approximation to QCD. Specifically, we first use the example of the weak contributions to the…

The two neutral kaon states in nature, the $K_L$ (long-lived) and $K_S$ (short-lived) mesons, are the two time-evolution eigenstates of the $K^0 - \overline{K^0}$ mixing system. The prediction of their mass difference $\Delta m_K$ based on…

In this talk I describe work on computing non-leptonic matrix elements consistently with both long and short distance contributions included. On the simpler example of the $\pi^+$-$\pi^0$ mass difference I explain in detail the matching…

Nonperturbative effects in exclusive reactions $B\to K^{(*)}ll$ are discussed. Form factors which describe the main long-distance contribution to the meson transition amplitude are calculated within the dispersion formulation of the quark…

We calculate $\Delta I = 3/2$ kaon decay matrix elements using domain wall fermions and the DBW2 gauge action at one coarse lattice spacing corresponding to $a^{-1} = 1.3$ GeV. We employ the Lellouch and L\"uscher formula and its extention…

We report on the calculation of the two-loop electroweak, two-photon mediated short-distance dispersive K_L \to \mu^+\mu^- decay amplitude. QCD corrections change the sign of this contribution and reduce it by an order of magnitude. The…

Short and long distance contributions to the exclusive B-decays into various K-resonances and dileptons, i.e. B --> Ki l l ( l = e, mu , nu ), are examined. The heavy quark effective theory has been used to calculate the hadronic matrix…

The study of neutral $D$-meson mixing provides a unique probe of long-distance effects in the charm sector, where Standard Model contributions are dominated by nonperturbative effects. In this work, we investigate the feasibility of using…

We report on the first complete calculation of the $K_L-K_S$ mass difference, $\Delta M_K$, using lattice QCD. The calculation is performed on a 2+1 flavor, domain wall fermion ensemble with a 330MeV pion mass and a 575 MeV kaon mass. We…

A method for analysing the hadronic resonance contributions in $\bar{B}^{0} \rightarrow \bar{K}^{*0}\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ decays is presented. This method uses an empirical model that relies on measurements of the branching fractions and…

I review lattice calculations of quantities that involve light quarks, including light quark masses, the vector form factor f_+(0) needed for semileptonic kaon decays, and kaon mixing. Results for most of these quantities are now available…

We propose a new method to evaluate the Lellouch-L\"uscher factor which relates the $\Delta I=3/2$ $K\to\pi\pi$ matrix elements computed on a finite lattice to the physical (infinite-volume) decay amplitudes. The method relies on the use of…

We describe a generalization of the Lellouch-L\"uscher formula to the case of multiple strongly-coupled decay channels. As in the original formula, our final result is a relation between weak matrix elements in finite and infinite volumes.…

Phenomena that involve two or more on-shell particles are particularly sensitive to the effects of finite volume and require special treatment when computed using lattice QCD. In this paper we generalize the results of L\"uscher, and…

The rare kaon decay $K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar{\nu}$ is an ideal process in which to search for signs of new physics and is the primary goal of the NA62 experiment at CERN. In this paper we report on a lattice QCD calculation of the long-distance…
