The measurements of rare decays are highly sensitive to physics beyond the standard model. In this article limits on the branching ratios of the decays B0s -> mu+mu-, D0 -> mu+mu- and D+ -> pi+mu+mu- are presented. Furthermore the first…
A high statistics sample of photo-produced charm from the FOCUS(E831) experiment at Fermilab has been used to search for direct CP violation in the decays D+->K_S pi+ and D+ -> K_S K+. We have measured the following asymmetry parameters…
This paper presents the latest results from experiment E787, at Brookhaven National Laboratory, on K+ -> pi nu/nubar and radiative K+ decays. The result for K+ -> pi nu/nubar uses data collected in runs taken during 1995, 1996 and 1997. In…
We study the chiral logarithms in $\Delta S=1$ kaon decay amplitudes from new flavor physics in beyond-standard-model theories. We systematically classify the chiral structures of dimension-5, 6 and 7 effective QCD operators constructed out…
We report the first calculation using physical light-quark masses of the electromagnetic form factor $V(z)$ describing the long-distance contributions to the $K^+\to\pi^+\ell^+\ell^-$ decay amplitude. The calculation is performed on a 2+1…
The combined use of chiral $SU(3)$ and heavy quark symmetries allows one to relate the hadronic form factors for the decay $\bar B\to \bar K\e^+\e^-$ to those for $\bar B\to\pi\e^-\bar\nu$. We investigate departures from the symmetry limit…
Nonfactorizable effects in charmless $B\to PP, VP$ decays can be lumped into the effective parameters a_i that are linear combinations of Wilson coefficients, or equivalently absorbed into the effective number of colors N_c. Naive…
Recently observed increase of direct CP asymmetry in charm meson nonleptonic decays is difficult to explain within the SM. If this effect is induced by new physics, this might be investigated in other charm processes. We propose to…
Rare kaon decays via Flavor Changing Neutral Currents are discussed in the context of the CKM unitarity triangle with a particular interest in the rare kaon decays K^+ --> pi^+ nu nubar and K^0_L --> pi^0 nu nubar. New results and the…
Direct CP violation in the hadronic charm decays provides a good testing ground for the Kobayashi-Maskawa mechanism in the Standard Model. Any significant deviations from the expectation would be indirect evidence of physics beyond the…
We present updated results of an SU(3)-flavor analysis of D->P P decay data including linear breaking and no further assumptions. The global fit is consistent with nominal (~ 30%) SU(3)F breaking and returns enhanced penguin (triplet)…
We review two lattice calculations involving charm hadrons: a determination of the vector and scalar form factors of the semileptonic $D \to \pi \ell \nu$ decays, which are relevant for the extraction of the CKM matrix element $\lvert…
A theoretical description of the differential decay spectrum for the decay tau- -> nu_tau K_S pi-, which is based on the contributing K pi vector and scalar form factors F_+^{K pi}(s) and F_0^{K pi}(s) being calculated in the framework of…
The $B^{-} \to \chi_{c0} K^{-}$ decay which has no visible factorizable amplitude, could be induced by the Cabibbo-allowed, color-favored $B^{-} \to D_{s}D^{*0}$, $B^{-} \to D^{*0}_{s}D^{0}$ and $B \to D_{s}^{*}D^{*}$ via the rescattering…
It is demonstrated that charm is systematically undercounted in various experiments. Via a process of elimination, $B(D^0 \rightarrow K^- \pi^+ )$ is identified as the culprit. It calibrates essentially all charmed meson production and…
With the newly available data sets on hadronic tau decays from the B-factories BABAR and BELLE, and future data from BESIII, precise information on the decay distributions will soon become available. This calls for an improvement of the…
Rare B decays to three charged kaons are analysed. The weak decay amplitudes are derived in the QCD factorization approach. The strong final state interactions between pairs of kaons are described using the kaon scalar and vector form…
We discuss recent work which identifies a potential flaw in standard treatments of weak decay amplitudes, including that of epsilon'/epsilon. The point is that (contrary to conventional wisdom) dimension-eight operators contribute to weak…
Using a large sample of charm semileptonic decays collected by the FOCUS photoproduction experiment at Fermilab, we present evidence for a small, even spin K- \pi+ amplitude that interferes with the dominant K*0 component in the K-pi+ mu-…
The decay rates of $D^+\to\pi^+\pi^0$ and $D^0\to K^+\pi^-$ recently measured by CLEO give the ratios $R_1=2|V_{cs}/V_{cd}|^2\Gamma(D^+\to \pi^+\pi^0)/\Gamma(D^+\to\bar{K}^0 \pi^+)=3.29\pm 1.16$ and…
