This document contains a summary of the LHCb workshop on multi-body decays of D and B mesons, held at CBPF, Rio de Janeiro, in July 2015. The workshop was focused on issues related to amplitude analysis of three- and four-body hadronic…
The existence of nucleon-antinucleon quasi-bound state is indicated in two decay modes of the J/psi meson studied by BES. We discuss an explanation in a fairly traditional Paris-potential model of the nucleon-antinucleon interactions. A…
A quasi two-body QCD factorization is used to study the D0 --> K0S pi+ pi decays. The presently available high-statistics Dalitz plot data of this process measured by the Belle and BABAR Collaborations are analyzed together with the tau-…
The scalar-isoscalar, scalar-isotensor and vector-isovector pi-pi amplitudes are fitted simultaneously to experimental data and to Roy's equations. The resulting amplitudes are compared with those fitted only to experimental data. No…
A short review on light scalar mesons is performed both in experiment and theory. A naive model, constrained by D branching ratios, is derived in order to make predictions on the wave functions of the $f_0(600)$ and $a_0(980)$ mesons. This…
We present calculations of the two-pion-exchange contribution to proton-proton scattering at 90 degrees using form factors appropriate for representing the distribution of the constituent partons of the nucleon. Talk given at MENU2001,…
Charged and neutral B decays into the pi+pi-K, K+K-K and K0S K0S K0S systems have been studied. The pi+pi- and K+K- final state interactions in the S-wave isoscalar state are treated in an unitary way. The long-distance contributions called…
Interactions in three coupled channels: pi-pi, K-anti K and sigma-sigma have been investigated in a wide two-pion effective mass region from the pi-pi threshold up to 1600 MeV. Analytical structure of amplitudes in all channels has been…
