We calculate the leading contribution to the weak $\Lambda \Lambda K$ coupling in heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory, including the SU(3) breaking terms arising at one-loop. This coupling gives the leading one-boson exchange amplitude…

We express the leading electromagnetic corrections in K-> pi pi amplitudes as integrals over the virtual photon squared-momentum Q^2. The high Q^2 behavior is obtained via the operator product expansion. The low Q^2 behavior is calculated…

A consistent treatment of $B\rightarrow \pi l \nu$ decay is given on the light-front. The $B$ to $\pi$ transition form factors are calculated in the entire physical range of momentum transfer for the first time. The valence-quark…

In this paper we use one-loop chiral perturbation theory in order to compare lattice computations of the K+ to pi+ pi0 decay amplitude with the experimental value. This makes it possible to investigate three systematic effects that plague…

The recent LHCb angular analysis of the exclusive decay B->K^*mu+mu- has indicated significant deviations from the Standard Model expectations. Accurate predictions can be achieved at large K*-meson recoil for an optimised set of…

Applications imposing SU(3) chiral symmetry on non-relativistic field theory are considered. The first example is a calculation of the self-energy shifts of the spin-3/2 decuplet baryons in nuclear matter, from the chiral effective…

We present a calculation of the low energy constants describing the real and imaginary parts of the $K \to \pi \pi$ decay amplitudes $A_0$ and $A_2$. Leading and next leading order chiral perturbation theory is used and its applicability…

We report a first, complete lattice QCD calculation of the long-distance contribution to the $K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar{\nu}$ decay within the standard model. This is a second-order weak process involving two four-Fermi operators that is highly…

We present $O(\alpha_s^2)$ QCD corrections to the fully-differential decay rate of a $b$-quark into inclusive semileptonic charmless final states. Our calculation provides genuine two-loop QCD corrections, beyond the…

In the heavy-quark limit, the hadronic matrix elements entering nonleptonic $B$-meson decays into two light mesons can be calculated from first principles including ``nonfactorizable'' strong-interaction corrections. The $B\to\pi K,\pi\pi$…

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…

Hyperon non-leptonic weak decay amplitudes are studied in the chiral perturbation theory. The weak interaction vertices caused by the four quark operators are substituted by the products of the hadronic currents and by the…

We present results for one-loop matching coefficients between continuum four-fermion operators, defined in the Naive Dimensional Regularization scheme, and staggered fermion operators of various types. We calculate diagrams involving gluon…

The rare K -> pi nu anti-nu decays play a central role in testing the Standard Model and its extensions. Upcoming experiments plan to measure the decay rates with high accuracy. Yet, unknown higher-order electroweak corrections result in a…

We discuss the construction of the two-flavour axion-pion effective Lagrangian at the next-to-leading order (NLO) in chiral perturbation theory and present, as a phenomenological application, the calculation of the decay rate of a GeV-scale…

We compute the leading-log QED, the next-to-leading-log QED-QCD, and the electroweak corrections to the charm quark contribution relevant for the rare decay K+ -> pi+ nu nu-bar. The corresponding parameter P_c(X) is increased by up to 2%…

On the basis of an effective lagrangian incorporating approximate chiral symmetry and heavy-quark spin and flavor symmetries, and by use of information on leptonic decays, we estimate the effective $D^\star D\pi$ coupling.

We determine the chiral corrections to the matrix elements of the Delta B=0 four-quark operators which are relevant to the studies of the ratios of lifetimes of heavy-light mesons as well as to the power corrections to the inclusive…

We calculate for the first time all four-quark hadronic matrix elements of local operators possibly contributing to $K\to\pi\pi$ decays and in particular to the ratio $\epsilon'/\epsilon$ beyond the Standard Model (BSM). To this end we use…

We analyse the hadronization structure of both vector and axial-vector currents leading to tau -> KKpi nu_tau decays. At leading order in the 1/Nc expansion, and considering only the contribution of the lightest resonances, we work out,…
