The decay K- -> pi0 e- nu is studied using in-flight decays detected with the ISTRA+ spectrometer. About 920K events are collected for the analysis. The lambda+ slope parameter of the decay form-factor f+(t) in the linear approximation (average slope) is measured: lambda+(lin)= 0.02774 +- 0.00047(stat) +- 0.00032(syst). The quadratic contribution to the form-factor was estimated to be lambda+ = 0.00084 +- 0.00027(stat) +- 0.00031(syst). The linear slope, which has a meaning of df+(t)/dt|_{t=0} for this fit, is lambda+ = 0.02324 +- 0.00152(stat) +- 0.00032(syst). The limits on possible tensor and scalar couplings are derived: f_{T}/f_{+}(0)=-0.012 +- 0.021(stat) +- 0.011$(syst), f_{S}/f_{+}(0)=-0.0037^{+0.0066}_{-0.0056}(stat) +- 0.0041(syst).

The decay K- -> pi0 mu- nu has been studied using in-flight decays detected with the ISTRA+ spectrometer. About 540K events were collected for the analysis. The lambda+ and lambda0 slope parameters of the decay form-factors f+(t), f0(t) have been measured : lambda+ = 0.0277+-0.0013 (stat)+-0.0009 (syst), lambda0 = 0.0183+-0.0011(stat)+-0.0006(syst), and d(lambda0)/d(lambda+)=-0.348. The limits on the possible tensor and scalar couplings have been derived: fT/f+(0)=-0.0007 +- 0.0071, fS/f+(0)=0.0017 +- 0.0014. No visible non-linearity in the form-factors have been observed.

Results of study of the radiative kaon decay K-->pi0 e nu gamma at ISTRA+ setup are presented. 4476 events of this decay have been observed. The branching ratio is measured.
We have measured the $pi^+to {rm e}^+ ugamma$ branching ratio over a wide region of phase space, based on a total of 65,460 events acquired using the PIBETA detector. Minimum-$chi^2$ fits to the measured $(E_{e^+},E_gamma)$ energy distributions result in the weak form factor value of $F_A=0.0119(1)$ with a fixed value of $F_V=0.0259$. An unconstrained fit yields $F_V=0.0258(17)$ and $F_A=0.0117(17)$. In addition, we have measured $a=0.10(6)$ for the dependence of $F_V$ on $q^2$, the ${rm e}^{+} u$ pair invariant mass squared, parametrized as $F_V(q^2)=F_V(0)(1+acdot q^2)$. The branching ratio for the kinematic region $E_gamma > 10 $MeV and $theta_{{rm e^+}gamma} > 40^circ $ is measured to be $B^{rm exp}=73.86(54) times 10^{-8}$. Earlier deviations we reported in the high-$E_gamma$/low-$E_{{rm e}^+}$ kinematic region are resolved, and we find full compatibility with CVC and standard $V$$-$$A$ calculations without a tensor term. We also derive new values for the pion polarizability, $alpha_E = rm 2.78(10) times 10^{-4} fm^3$, and neutral pion lifetime, $tau_{pi 0} = (8.5 pm 1.1) times 10^{-17} $s.
