We analyze the rare kaon decays $K_L \to \pi^0 \nu \bar \nu$, $K^+ \to \pi^+ \nu \bar \nu$, $K_L \to \pi^0 e^+ e^-$ and $K_L \to \mu^+ \mu^-$ in conjunction with the CP violating ratio $\epsilon'/\epsilon$ in a general class of…

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…

The CP violating parameter epsilon'/epsilon is computed using the low-energy dynamics of a chiral theory supplemented by vector resonances. The divergent contributions coming from strong pi-pi scattering are tamed by vector-meson exchange…

Following the recent analysis done in collaboration with Jason Aebischer and Christoph Bobeth, I summarize the optimal, in our view, strategy for the present evaluation of the ratio $\varepsilon'/\varepsilon$ in the Standard Model (SM). In…

We present the ingredients for determining $K^{+}\to\pi^{+}\pi^{0}$ matrix elements via the combination of lattice QCD and chiral perturbation theory ($\chi$PT). By simulating these matrix elements at unphysical kinematics, it is possible…

We demonstrate that in the large N approach developed by the authors in collaboration with Bardeen, the parameters B_6^{(1/2)} and B_8^{(3/2)} parametrizing the K\to\pi\pi matrix elements <Q_6>_0 and <Q_8>_2 of the dominant QCD and…

The unknown constants in Chiral Perturbation Theory needed for an all orders analysis of the polarizabilities and electromagnetic corrections to the masses of the pseudo-Goldstone bosons are estimated at leading order in $1/N_c$. We…

CP violation due to interference between $K_L$ and $K_S$ decays into $\pi ^+\pi^-\gamma$ is analyzed in the Standard Model. The CP-violating parameter $\epsilon'_{+- \gamma}$, which is the difference between $\eta_{+-\gamma}$ and…

We study the corrections due to renormalons to the heavy hadron decay width.The renormalons contribution estimated in terms of finite gluon mass based on the assumption that the gluon mass represents the short distance nonperturbative…

We show that the average multiplet masses in the baryon octet and decuplet can be fitted with an average error of only $0.5\pm 0.3$ MeV in a meson loop expansion with chiral SU(6) couplings, with the hadrons treated as composite particles…

We explore asymptotically optimal bounds for deviations of Bernoulli convolutions from the Poisson limit in terms of the Shannon relative entropy and the Pearson $\chi^2$-distance. The results are based on proper non-uniform estimates for…

Besides their appearance at short distances \gtrsim 1/M_W, local dimension-eight operators also contribute to kaon matrix elements at long distances of order \gtrsim 1/mu_ope, where mu_ope is the scale controlling the Operator Product…

The direct CP violation parameter Re(epsilon'/epsilon) has been measured from the decay rates of neutral kaons into two pions using the NA48 detector at the CERN SPS. The 2001 running period was devoted to collecting additional data under…

We discuss the chiral corrections to f_B and B_B with particular emphasis on determining the portion of the correction that arises from long distance physics. For very small pion and kaon masses all of the usual corrections are truly long…

We accomplish the analytical computation of the pure weak annihilation non-leptonic $B$-meson decay amplitudes at leading power in the heavy quark expansion. The novel observation regarding such fundamental hadronic quantities is that…

We present an analysis of the enhancement of CP-violating charge asymmetries in $K \rightarrow 3\pi$ decays. Calculations of decay amplitudes are performed on the basis of bosonized strong and weak Lagrangians derived from QCD-motivated…

We present a calculation of the decays $\eta^{(')}\to\pi^+\pi^-\gamma^{(\ast)}$ at the one-loop level up to and including next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in large-$N_c$ chiral perturbation theory. The numerical evaluation of the…

We complete the computation of the 1-loop (alpha_s^2) corrections to hard spectator scattering in non-leptonic B decays at leading power in Lambda/m_b by evaluating the penguin amplitudes. This extends the knowledge of these…

We consider the contribution to $K \rightarrow 2 \pi$ decays from the non-diagonal $s \ra d$ quark transition amplitude. First, we calculate the most important part of the $s \rightarrow d$ transition, the so-called self-penguin amplitude…

As increased statistics and new ensembles with light pions have become available within the CLS effort, we complete previous work by inspecting the chiral behaviour of the pion decay constant. We discuss the validity of Chiral Perturbation…
