We introduce parametrizations of hadronic three-body $B$ and $D$ weak decay amplitudes that can be readily implemented in experimental analyses and are a sound alternative to the simplistic and widely used sum of Breit-Wigner type…

We stress the importance of three-body final state interactions in $D^+ \to K^- \p^+ \p^+$. The basic building block is the $K\pi$ amplitude with parameters determined by a fit to elastic LASS data. Based on a vector weak vertex, we can…

Using data from FOCUS (E831) experiment at Fermilab, we present a model independent partial-wave analysis of the $K^-\pi^+$ S-wave amplitude from the decay $D^+ \to K^-\pi^+\pi^+$. The S-wave is a generic complex function to be determined…

We study the nonresonant three-body decays of $B^{+}\to D^{(*)-}_{s} K^{+} \pi^{+}$ and $B_{d}\to D_{s}^{(*)-} K^{0} \pi^{+}$. We find that these decays can provide the information on the time-like form factors of $D^{(*)}_{s} K$. We also…

In this master thesis I discuss how the weak three-body decay B^+ --> pi^- pi^+ K^+ is related to the strong interactions between the final-state particles. Current issues in hadron spectroscopy define a region of interest in a Dalitz plot…

A new approach to the analysis of three body decays is presented. Model-independent results are obtained for the \swave $K\pi$ amplitude as a function of $K\pi$ invariant mass. These are compared with results from $\Km\pip$ elastic…

We investigate the decay $\phi\to\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$ in an effective-Lagrangian framework that keeps the dominant $\rho\pi$ mechanism and the direct three-pion term explicitly separated at the amplitude level. The resonant contribution is…

The three-body decays $B^0_s \rightarrow \psi(2S,3S) \pi^+ \pi^-$ are studied based on the perturbative QCD approach. With the help of the nonperturbative two-pion distribution amplitudes, the analysis is simplified into the quasi-two-body…

We show that final state interactions are important in shaping Dalitz plots for the decay $D^+ \rar K^- \p^+ \p^+$. The theoretical treatment of this reaction requires a blend of several weak and hadronic processes and hence it is…

The current knowledge on the $D_{s}^{\ast}$ meson are very limited. Besides the dominant electromagnetic decays, the $D_{s}^{\ast}$ weak decays are legal and offer the valuable opportunities to explore the wanted $D_{s}^{\ast}$ meson. In…

In this work, we study the resonance contributions to the decay $B^-\to K^+K^-\pi^-$, which is dominated by the scalar $f_0(980), K_0^*(1430)$, vector $\rho(1450), \phi(1020), K^*(892)$ and tensor $f_2(1270)$ resonances. The three-body…

Inspired by recent BESIII's amplitude analysis on $D_s^+\to\pi^+\pi^0\pi^0$, we develop a model based on the chiral unitary approach to discribe the $D_s^+\to\pi^+\pi^0\pi^0$ decay, where $D_s^+$ decays into a $\pi^+$ and a quark-antiquark…

The $N\pi^0\pi^0$ decays of positive-parity $N^*$ and $\Delta^*$ resonances at about 2\,GeV are studied at ELSA by photoproduction of two neutral pions off protons. The data reveal clear evidence for several intermediate resonances:…

An analysis of charged B decay data in a quasi two-body decay into a charged pion plus a S, P,or D state of two charged pions is performed in the QCD factorization framework. The short distance amplitudes are calculated including…

An overview is presented about old and recent methods to compute the $K\to \pi \pi$ decay amplitude.

We construct an analytical model for two channel, two-body scattering amplitudes, and then apply it in the description of the three-body $J/\psi \to K^+K^-\pi^0$ decay. In the construction of the partial wave amplitudes, we combine the low…

Within the framework of the QCD sum rules, we consider the three-point correlation function, work at the limit q^2 -> 0 and m_\pi -> 0, and pick out the singular term ~ {1\over q^2} to extract the pionic coupling constants of the 1^{-+}…
