abstract
After the recent high precision determinations of $V_{us}$ and $V_{ud}$, the first row of the CKM matrix shows more than $4\sigma$ deviation from unitarity. Two possible scenarios beyond the Standard Model can be investigated in order to fill the gap. If a 4th quark $b'$ participates in the mixing, with $\vert V_{ub'} \vert \sim0.04$, then its mass should be no more than 6 TeV or so. A different solution can come from the introduction of the gauge horizontal family symmetry acting between the lepton families and spontaneously broken at the scale of about 6 TeV. Since the gauge bosons of this symmetry contribute to muon decay in positive interference with Standard Model, the Fermi constant is slightly smaller than the muon decay constant so that unitarity is recovered. Also the neutron lifetime problem, that is about $4\sigma$ discrepancy between the neutron lifetimes measured in beam and trap experiments, is discussed in the light of the these determinations of the CKM matrix elements.

Pion $\beta$ decay and $\tau\to\pi\pi\nu_\tau$ beyond leading logarithms
Pion β decay and τ→ππν short-distance radiative corrections are matched at NLL accuracy with evanescent-scheme dependence cancelled, giving Δ_RC^{πℓ}=0.03403(11) and a τ-HVP isospin-breaking shift of −0.07(4)×10^-10.

Quantum Monte Carlo calculation of $\delta_{\rm NS}$ in $^{10}$C using an effective field theory approach
The first quantum Monte Carlo evaluation of the nuclear-structure-dependent radiative correction in carbon-10 confirms the NCSM dispersion result, with the residual uncertainty set by two undetermined low-energy constants.

The effects of polarization on the observables in the decay $\Xi_{cc}^{++} \rightarrow \Xi_{c}^{+} \bar{\ell}\nu_{\ell}$
Polarization of the parent baryon, daughter baryon, and muon strongly reshapes branching ratios, forward-backward asymmetries, and newly defined polarization ratios in Ξ_cc++ → Ξ_c+ ℓ ν, while the μ/e LFU ratio stays ...

Dark Matter and CP Violation in Some Symmetry-Constrained 3HDMs
S3-symmetric three-Higgs-doublet models allow dark matter in a 29-42 GeV window, exclude heavy candidates above 500 GeV, and admit MeV-scale light scalars, while continuous-symmetry variants produce mass-degenerate da...
