Electroweak Corrections to the Charm Quark Contribution to K+ -> pi+ nu nu-bar
read the original abstract
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% with respect to the pure QCD estimate to P_c(X) = 0.372 +- 0.015 for m_c(m_c)= (1.286 +- 0.013) GeV, alphas(M_Z) = 0.1176 +- 0.0020 and |V_us| = 0.2255. For the branching ratio we find B(K+ -> pi+ nu nu-bar) = (8.5 +- 0.7)*10^{-11}, where the quoted uncertainty is dominated by the CKM elements.

The KSVZ Atlas: A Unified SMEFT-ALP Framework
A matching framework from arbitrary KSVZ UV completions to SMEFT and ALP EFT yields robust operator bounds from global fits that often dominate direct ALP searches except when mass mixing occurs.

A note on momentum subtraction schemes for quark bilinears and semileptonic operators
Extends the RI/SMOM scheme to semi-leptonic operators via Ward-identity-protected vector currents and demonstrates equivalence to the Gorbahn et al. 2023 projectors for Wilson coefficient calculations.

Correlated $b \to s$ and $s \to d$ Rare Semileptonic Transitions in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory
SMEFT global fit to b→s anomalies with complex Wilson coefficients shows left-handed four-fermion operators preferred and demonstrates that U(3)^5 or U(2)^5 flavor symmetry restores consistency with kaon data.
