Abstract

The effects of final state interactions (FSI) in hadronic B-decays are investigated. The model for FSI, based on Regge phenomenology of high-energy hadronic interactions is proposed. It is shown that this model explains the pattern of phases in matrix elements of BππB\to\pi\pi and BρρB\to\rho\rho decays. These phases play an important role for CP-violation in B-decays. The most precise determination of the unitarity triangle angle α\alpha from BdρπB_d\to \rho\pi decays is performed. The relation between CP-asymmetries in BKπB\to K\pi decays is discussed. It is emphasized that the large distance FSI can explain the structure of polarizations of the vector mesons in B-decays and other puzzles like a very large branching ratio of the B-decay to ΞˉcΛc\bar\Xi_c\Lambda_c.
