We have revisited the isospin-breaking corrections relating $\sigma(e^+e^-\to\pi^+\pi^-)$ and $\Gamma(\tau^-\to\pi^-\pi^0\nu_\tau)$. We confirm that the associated uncertainty is under control, so that tau data can also be used to predict…

In the analysis of \epsilon^\prime/\epsilon it has been traditional to consider the isospin-breaking effects arising from electroweak-penguin contributions and from \pi^0-\eta and \pi^0-\eta^\prime mixing, yet additional isospin-violating…

We evaluate the model-dependent piece of O(alpha) long-distance radiative corrections to tau^- \to \pi^- \pi^0\nu_{\tau} decays by using a meson dominance model. We find that these corrections to the di-pion invariant mass spectrum are…

We have studied the one meson radiative tau decays: tau- -> nu(tau) pi-(K-) gamma, computing the structure dependent contributions within a Lagrangian approach based on the large-N(C) limit of QCD that ensures the proper low-energy limit…

Present precision measurements of the neutron life time lead to a CKM matrix element $|V_{ud}|$ which is three standard deviations off the value inferred from heavy quark decays etc. We investigate the possibility whether isospin-breaking…

We present a method to evaluate on the lattice the leading isospin breaking effects due to both the small mass difference between the up and down quarks and the QED interaction. Our proposal is applicable in principle to any QCD+QED gauge…

An isospin analysis of $B\to \pi\pi$ decays yields $\sin 2\alpha$, where $\alpha$ is the usual CKM angle $\alpha\equiv {\rm arg} [-V_{td} V_{tb}^\ast/(V_{ud}V_{ub}^\ast)]$ without hadronic uncertainty if isospin is a perfect symmetry. Yet…

In a small window of phase space, chiral perturbation theory can be used to make standard model predictions for tau decays into two and three pions. For $\tau \to 2\pi \nu_\tau$, we give the analytical result for the relevant form factor…

Question of the proper incorporation of spin effects in tau lepton decays is often of importance. In present work, case of the Z/gamma to tau+ tau- production mechanism is studied in detail. As an example, the effects due to the spin…

Isospin breaking correction to the $\Delta I = {1/2}$ decay of $K\to\pi\pi$ generates a large enough contribution to $\epsilon'$ through an induced $\Delta I = {3/2}$ amplitude in $K_L$ decay. Aside from the $\pi$-$\eta$ and $\pi$-$\eta'$…

Isospin-breaking effects, in particular those associated with electroweak-penguin contributions and pi0-eta,eta' mixing, have long been known to affect the Standard Model prediction of Re(epsilon'/epsilon) in a significant manner. We have…

The consistent matching of short-distance contributions and hadronic matrix elements is crucial for precise predictions of weak processes involving hadrons. In this Letter, we address this point for charged-current processes involving two…

We consider the impact of isospin violation on the analysis of K-> pi pi decays. We scrutinize, in particular, the phenomenological role played by the additional weak amplitude, of |Delta I|=5/2 in character, incurred by the presence of…

A calculation of the leading isospin-breaking contributions to the B -> K^* gamma decay amplitudes based on the QCD factorization approach is presented. They arise at order Lambda/m_b in the heavy-quark expansion and are due to annihilation…

Isospin violating signals in the tau -> 3 pi nu_tau decay mode are discussed. For the tau -> pi^- pi^- pi^+ nu_tau decay mode, isospin violation arises from the vector current contribution in the tau -> omega pi nu_tau decay with the…

Using extended Khuri-Treiman equations, we evaluate the final state interactions due to two-pion rescatterings to the decays $\eta\to \pi^0 \pi^+ \pi^-$ and $\eta\to \pi^0 \pi^0 \pi^0$. As subtraction to the dispersion relation we take the…

We consider electromagnetic corrections to the non-leptonic kaon decay, $K^+\to\pi^+\pi^0\pi^0$, due to explicit virtual photons only. The decay amplitude is calculated at one-loop level in the framework of Chiral Perturbation Theory. The…

The decay $\eta \to 3 \pi$ proceeds exclusively through isospin violating operators and is therefore an excellent probe to examine the strength of isospin breaking in the strong interaction. The latter can be expressed through the quark…

We calculate the leading isospin-violating and electromagnetic corrections for the decay tau -> pi^0 pi nu_tau at low energies. The corrections are small but relevant for the inclusion of tau decay data in the determination of hadronic…

Using the example of selected decays driven by R-parity-violating supersymmetric operators, we demonstrate how strong final-state interactions can be controlled quantitatively with high precision, thus allowing for a more accurate…
