A new measurement of $B_{pi e2}$, the $pi^+ to e^+ u(gamma)$ decay branching ratio, is currently under way at the Paul Scherrer Institute. The present experimental result on $B_{pi e2}$ constitutes the most accurate test of lepton universality available. The accuracy, however, still lags behind the theoretical precision by over an order of magnitude. Because of the large helicity suppression of the $pi_{e2}$ decay, its branching ratio is susceptible to significant contributions from new physics, making this decay a particularly suitable subject of study.

The PEN Collaboration is conducting a new measurement of the pi+ -> e+ nu branching ratio at the Paul Scherrer Institute, with the goal uncertainty of delta B/B(pie2)=5E-4 or lower. At present, the combined accuracy of all published pie2 decay measur
ements lags behind the theoretical calculation by a factor of 40. In this contribution we report on the PEN detector configuration and its performance during two development runs done in 2007 and 2008.
The reaction pd->3He eta at threshold was used to provide a clean source of eta mesons for decay studies with the WASA detector at CELSIUS. The branching ratio of the decay eta->pi+pi-e+e- is measured to be (4.3+/-1.3+/-0.4)x10^-4.
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 resul
t 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.
A branching fraction measurement of the $B^{0}rightarrow D_{s}^{+}pi^{-}$ decay is presented using proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $5.0,$fb$^{-1}$. The branching fraction i
s found to be ${mathcal{B}(B^{0}rightarrow D_{s}^{+}pi^{-}) = (19.4 pm 1.8pm 1.3 pm 1.2)times 10^{-6}}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic and the third is due to the uncertainty on the $B^0 to D^{-}pi^{+}$, $D_{s}^{+}rightarrow K^{+}K^{-}pi^{+}$ and $D^{-}rightarrow K^{+}pi^{-}pi^{-}$ branching fractions. This is the most precise single measurement of this quantity to date. As this decay proceeds through a single amplitude involving a $b to u$ charged-current transition, the result provides information on non-factorisable strong interaction effects and the magnitude of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element $V_{ub}$. Additionally, the collision energy dependence of the hadronisation-fraction ratio $f_s/f_d$ is measured through $bar{B}{}_{s}^{0}rightarrow D_{s}^{+}pi^{-}$ and $B^0 to D^{-}pi^{+}$ decays.
