It is well known that the final state interaction plays an important role in the decays of $B$-meson. The contribution of the final state interaction which is supposed to be long-distance effects, to the concerned processes can interfere…
There exist many experimental indications that final-state interactions (FSIs) may play a prominent role not only in charmful B decays but also in charmless B ones. We examine the final-state rescattering effects on the hadronic B decay…
The light cone QCD sum rules are derived for the $K^\ast K\pi$ coupling $g_{K^\ast K\pi} $ and the $\rho\pi\pi$ coupling $g_{\rho\pi\pi}$. The contribution from the excited states and the continuum is subtracted cleanly through the double…

We study the strong vertices $N^*N\pi$, $N^*N^*\pi$ and $NN\pi$ in QCD, where $N^*$ denotes the negative parity $N (1535)$ state. We use the most general form of the interpolating currents to calculate the corresponding strong coupling…
