Parametrisations of the D -> K l nu form factor and the determination of \hat{g}

Sébastien Descotes-Genon, Alain Le Yaouanc

The vector form factor f_+(t) of the semileptonic decay D -> K l nu, measured recently with a high accuracy, can be used to determine the strong coupling constant g_{D_s^* D K}. Th…

The Determination of alpha_s from Tau Decays Revisited

M. Davier, S. Descotes-Genon, A. Hocker +2

We revisit the determination of alpha_s(m_tau) using a fit to inclusive tau hadronic spectral moments in light of (1) the recent calculation of the fourth-order perturbative coeffi…

pi-pi and pi-K scatterings in three-flavour resummed chiral perturbation theory

S. Descotes-Genon

The (light but not-so-light) strange quark may play a special role in the low-energy dynamics of QCD. The presence of strange quark pairs in the sea may have a significant impact o…

How far can you go ? Surprises and pitfalls in three-flavour chiral extrapolations

S. Descotes-Genon

The presence of strange sea quark pairs may have a significant impact of the pattern of chiral symmetry breaking : in particular large differences can occur between the chiral limi…

Low-energy pi-pi and pi-K scatterings revisited in three-flavour resummed chiral perturbation theory

S. Descotes-Genon

Chiral symmetry breaking may exhibit significantly different patterns in two chiral limits: N_f=2 massless flavours (m_u=m_d=0, m_s physical) and N_f=3 massless flavours (m_u=m_d=0…

QCD factorisation and flavour symmetries illustrated in B_d,s -> KK decays

S. Descotes-Genon

We present a new analysis of B_d,s -> KK modes within the SM, relating them in a controlled way through SU(3)-flavour symmetry and QCD-improved factorisation. We propose a set of s…
