Using updated measurements and SU(3)-breaking form factors, we have a detailed look at the B_d -> pi^+ pi^-, B_s -> K^+ K^- and B_d -> pi^\mp K^\pm, B_s -> pi^\pm K^\mp systems. The corresponding decays are related to each other by the…
The NA48/2 experiment at the CERN SPS collected in 2003 and 2004 large samples of the decays K+- -> pi+ pi- e+- nu (Ke4+-), K+- -> pi0 pi0 e+- nu (Ke400) and K+- -> pi0 pi0 pi+-. From the Ke4+- form factors and from the cusp in the M00^2…
We present an exploratory study of leading isospin breaking effects in mesonic masses using $O(a)$ improved Wilson fermions with open boundaries. Isospin symmetry is explicitly broken by distinct masses and electric charges of the up and…
We examine the role of resonant coupled channel final state interactions (FSI), as well as weak annihilation and exchange contributions in explaining all the two body hadronic $D\rightarrow PP$ decay modes data. In the un-unitarized…

Studies on the IJ=00 $\pi\pi$ and $K\bar K$ coupled--channel system are made using newly derived dispersion relations between the phase shifts and poles and cuts. It is found that the $\sigma$ resonance must be introduced to explain the…
B decays into pion pion K and K anti-K K, where the pion-pion and anti-K K pairs interact in isospin zero S-wave, are studied in the pion-pion effective mass range from threshold to 1.2 GeV. The interplay of strong and weak decay amplitudes…
The rigorous treatment of four-particle intermediate and final states poses a major challenge for lattice calculations of scattering and decay amplitudes, as well as long-distance matrix elements. As a step towards addressing these…
Effects of CP violation and of final state interactions between pairs of pseudoscalar mesons are studied in three-body B+, B-, B0 and antiB0 decays into K pi pi. An alternative approach to the isobar model for three-body B decays is…
We present a calculation of the direct CP asymmetry, $A_{CP}^{dir}$, for the process $B^+ \to \pi^+ K^0$ including the effects of long-range inelastic final-state interactions (FSI). We admit three channels in our calculation: $B^+ \to…
The quantum ground state properties of two independent chains of spins (two-levels systems) interacting with the same bosonic field are theoretically investigated. Each chain is coupled to a different quadrature of the field, leading to two…
We consider the interference of resonant amplitudes leading to the final state $K_S \pi^+ \pi^-$ in $D^0/\bar {D^0}$ decays. Each of these amplitudes consists of both Cabibbo allowed and doubly Cabibbo suppressed transitions. The role of…
The problem of the final state interaction in quasi-elastic $(e,e')$ scattering at large $Q^2$, is investigated by exploiting the idea that the ejected nucleon needs a finite amount of time to assume its asymptotic form. It is shown that…
The $K^+ \to \pi^0 \pi^0 e^+ \nu$ ($K_{e4}^{00}$) decay has been measured with stopped positive kaons for a data sample of 216 events. A comparison of the observed spectra with a Monte Carlo simulation determined the $K_{e4}^{00}$ form…
The radius of interaction between the struck proton and spectator nucleons is close to the radius of short-distance two-nucleon correlations in nuclear matter, which makes final state interaction(FSI) an important background to production…
Phase shifts for $s$-wave $\pi\pi$ scattering in both the $I=0$ and $I=2$ channels are determined from a lattice QCD calculation performed on 741 gauge configurations obeying G-parity boundary conditions with a physical pion mass and…
We make a theoretical study of $\pi\pi$ scattering with quantum numbers $J^{PC}=1^{--}$ in a finite box. To calculate physical observables for infinite volume from lattice QCD, the finite box dependence of the potentials is not usually…
The pion mass difference generates a pronounced cusp in K --> 3 pi decays. As has recently been pointed out by Cabibbo and Isidori, an accurate measurement of the cusp may allow one to pin down the S-wave pi pi scattering lengths to high…
We study the quark-mass dependence of $\omega\to3\pi$ decays, based on a dispersion-theoretical framework. We rely on the quark-mass-dependent scattering phase shift for the pion-pion $P$-wave extracted from unitarized chiral perturbation…
