Because of the small size of the ratio A_2/A_0 of the I=2 to I=0 K -> pipi decay amplitudes (the Delta I=1/2 rule) the effects of electromagnetism on A_2 may be a factor of 20 larger than given by a naive O(alpha) estimate. Thus, if future…

The self-energy and vertex QED radiative corrections (Z alpha^2 f(Z alpha)) are shown to give a large negative contribution to the parity nonconserving (PNC) amplitude in heavy atoms. The correction -0.7(2)% found for the 6s-7s PNC…

The self-energy and vertex QED radiative corrections to the parity nonconservation (PNC) amplitude in atoms are obtained using the perturbation theory in powers of (alpha Z). The calculated linear in (alpha Z) term gives -0.6 % for the PNC…

In heavy quarkonium production, the measured ratio $R_{c \bar c}=\sigma[J/\psi+ c\bar c + X]/\sigma[J/\psi +X]$ at B factories is much larger than existing theoretical predictions. To clarify this discrepancy, in nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD)…

Next-to-leading $1/\N$ corrections to the upper bound on $M_{\eta}/M_{\eta '}$ recently obtained by Georgi are considered. These corrections are just what is needed to reconcile the bound with the observed $\eta$ and $\eta'$ masses.

We analyze quark-mass and $1/N_c$ corrections to all of the radiative transitions between the vector-meson nonet and the pseudoscalar-meson nonet within a chiral effective Lagrangian approach. We perform fits of the available coupling…

We continue to study the properties of the light pseudoscalar nonet within the combined framework of Nambu -- Jona-Lasinio model and $1/N_c$ expansion, assuming that current quark masses count of order $\mathcal O(1/N_c)$. The masses,…

We have performed a numerical analysis of branching ratios and direct CP-asymmetries of B meson decays to two light pseudoscalar nonets with deltaS=1 using QCD improved factorization. The parameters related to B meson including its…

I present a more refined analysis of the mass-splittings between the different heavy quarkonia states, using {\it new double ratios} of exponential moments of different two-point functions. Then, I test the validity of the $1/m$-expansion,…

A spin-flavor symmetry emerges for baryons in the large-N_c limit. Large-N_c baryons form irreducible representations of the spin-flavor algebra, and their static properties can be computed in a systematic expansion in 1/N_c. Symmetry…

The transformation properties of strong penguin operators under the action of the flavor group change when they are considered as operators in (partially) quenched QCD instead of the unquenched theory. An ambiguity arises, which is…

We present the inconsistencies which arise in quenched QCD in $\Delta I=1/2$ non-leptonic kaon decays using chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) to one loop. In particular we discuss how the lack of unitarity of the quenched theory invalidates…

We obtain the corrections in $1/n$ and in $1/\ln n$ ($n$ is the principal quantum number of the bound state) of the decay constants of scalar and pseudoscalar currents in two and four dimensions in the large $N_c$. We obtain them from the…

Theoretical predictions for B decay rates are rewritten in terms of the Upsilon(1S) meson mass instead of the b quark mass, using a modified perturbation expansion. The theoretical consistency of this expansion is shown both at low and high…

We have combined a new systematic calculation of mesonic matrix elements at O(p^6) from an effective chiral lagrangian approach using Wilson coefficients taken from [G.Buchalla, A.J.Buras, M.E.Lautenbacher, Rev.Mod.Phys. 68 (1996) 1125],…

If physics beyond the Standard Model enters well above the electroweak scale, its low-energy effects are described by Standard Model Effective Field Theory. Already at dimension six many operators involve the antisymmetric quark tensor…

We present a strategy designed to separate several possible origins of the well-known enhancement of the Delta{I}=1/2 amplitude in non-leptonic kaon decays. In particular, we seek to disentangle the contribution of physics at the typical…

We compute the isospin $I= 0$ and 2 amplitudes for the decay of a kaon into two pions by estimating the relevant hadronic matrix elements in the chiral quark model. The results are parametrized in terms of the quark and gluon condensates…

The decays of non-strange negative parity baryons via the emission of single $\pi$ and $\eta$ mesons are analyzed in the framework of the $1/N_c$ expansion. A basis of spin-flavor operators for the partial wave amplitudes is established to…

The $K\to\pi\pi$ decay amplitudes are studied within the framework of generalized factorization in which the effective Wilson coefficients are gauge-invariant, renormalization-scale and -scheme independent while factorization is applied to…
