We report the first observation of the decay D^+ -> eta e^+ nu_e in two analyses, which combined provide a branching fraction of B(D+ -> eta e nu) = (2.16 +/- 0.53 +/- 0.07) x 10^{-4}. We also provide an improved measurement of B(D+ -> eta e nu) = (11.4 +/- 0.9 +/- 0.4) x 10^{-4}, provide the first form factor measurement, and set the improved upper limit B(D+ -> phi e nu) < 0.9 x 10^{-4} (90% C.L.).

Using a sample of 225.3 million $jpsi$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII $e^+e^-$ collider in 2009, searches for the decays of $eta$ and $eta^primetopi^+ e^- bar{ u}_e +c.c.$ in $jpsi to phi eta$ and $phieta^prime$ are performed. The $phi$ signals, which are reconstructed in $K^+K^-$ final states, are used to tag $eta$ and $eta^prime$ semileptonic decays. No signals are observed for either $eta$ or $eta^prime$, and upper limits at the 90% confidence level are determined to be $7.3times 10^{-4}$ and $5.0times 10^{-4}$ for the ratios $frac{{mathcal B}(etato pi^+ e^- bar{ u}_e +c.c.)}{{mathcal B}(eta to pippimpiz)}$ and $frac{{mathcal B}(eta^primeto pi^+ e^-bar{ u}_e +c.c.)}{{mathcal B}(eta^prime to pippimeta)}$, respectively. These are the first upper limit values determined for $eta$ and $eta^prime$ semileptonic weak decays.
Using 1.8 million DDbar pairs and a neutrino reconstruction technique, we have studied the decays D^0 -> K^- e^+ nu_e, D^0 -> pi^- e^+ nu_e, D^+ -> Kbar^0 e^+ nu_e, and D^+ -> pi^0 e^+ nu_e. We find B(D^0 -> pi^- e^+ nu_e) = 0.299(11)(9)%, B(D^+ -> pi^0 e^+ nu_e) = 0.373(22)(13)%, B(D^0 -> K^- e^+ nu_e) = 3.56(3)(9)%, and B(D^+ -> Kbar^0 e^+ nu_e) = 8.53(13)(23)%. In addition, form factors are studied through fits to the partial branching fractions obtained in five q^2 ranges. By combining our results with recent unquenched lattice calculations, we obtain |Vcd| = 0.217(9)(4)(23) and |Vcs| = 1.015(10)(11)(106).
Using a sample of 1.8 million DDbar meson pairs collected at the psi(3770) with the CLEO-c detector, we study the semileptonic decays D^0 -> pi^- e^+ nu_e, D^+ -> pi^0 e^+ u_e, D^0 -> K^- e^+ u_e, and D^+ -> Kbar^0 e^+ nu_e. For the total branching fractions we find B(D^0 -> pi^- e^+ u_e) = 0.299(11)(9)%, B(D^+ -> pi^0 e^+ u_e) = 0.373(22)(13)%, B(D^0 -> K^- e^+ nu_e) = 3.56(3)(9)%, and B(D^+ -> Kbar^0 e^+ nu_e) = 8.53(13)(23)%, where the first error is statistical and the second systematic. In addition, form factors are studied through fits to the partial branching fractions obtained in five q^2 ranges. By combining our results with recent unquenched lattice calculations, we obtain |Vcd| = 0.217(9)(4)(23) and |Vcs| = 1.015(10)(11)(106), where the final error is theoretical.
We have studied the vector to pseudoscalar conversion decay phi -> eta e+e-, with eta -> pi0pi0pi0, with the KLOE detector at DAPHNE. The data set of 1.7 fb-1 of e+e- collisions at sqrt(s)~Mphi contains a clear conversion decay signal of ~31,000 events from which we measured a value of BR(phi -> eta e+e-)=(1.075+-0.007+-0.038)x10-4. The same sample is used to determine the transition form factor by a fit to the e+e- invariant mass spectrum, obtaining b(phi eta) =(1.17 +- 0.10 + 0.07) GeV-2, that improves by a factor of five the precision of the previous measurement and is in good agreement with VMD expectations.
Based on a sample of etapr mesons produced in the radiative decay $J/psitogammaeta^{prime}$ in $1.31times 10^9$ $J/psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector, the decay $eta^{prime}toomega e^{+} e^{-}$ is observed for the first time, with a statistical significance of $8sigma$. The branching fraction is measured to be $mathcal{B}(eta^{prime}toomega e^{+} e^{-})=(1.97pm0.34(text{stat})pm0.17(text{syst}))times10^{-4}$, which is in agreement with theoretical predictions. The branching fraction of $eta^{prime}toomegagamma$ is also measured to be $(2.55pm0.03(text{stat})pm0.16(text{syst}))times10^{-2}$, which is the most precise measurement to date, and the relative branching fraction $frac{mathcal{B}(eta^{prime}to omega e^{+}e^{-})}{mathcal{B}(eta^{prime}to omega gamma)}$ is determined to be $(7.71pm1.34(text{stat})pm0.54(text{syst}))times10^{-3}$.
