We calculate the direct $CP$ violation for the decay process of ${B}^{0}\rightarrow \pi^{0}\pi^{0}$, ${B}^{+}\rightarrow \pi^{0}\pi^{+}$, ${B}^{0}\rightarrow K^{0}\pi^{0}$ and ${B}^{+}\rightarrow K^{+}\pi^{0}$ via isospin symmetry breaking…
In this paper we use one-loop chiral perturbation theory in order to compare lattice computations of the K+ to pi+ pi0 decay amplitude with the experimental value. This makes it possible to investigate three systematic effects that plague…
Hadronic phase in $\pi \pi$ and $K \bar K$ channels are calculated a la Regge. At the D mass one finds $\delta_{\pi \pi} \approx \pi/3$ and $\delta_{K \bar K} \approx -\pi/6$ in good agreement with the CLEO data while at the B mass 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…
Following Polchinski and Strassler [1] and our previous work [2], we study high-energy pion scattering in the holographic QCD hard-wall model. In particular, we focus on comparing our predictions for the angular dependence of $\pi^{+}…
We present a determination of the isospin-1/2 elastic $\pi K$ scattering amplitudes in S and P partial waves using lattice Quantum Chromodynamics. The amplitudes, constrained for a large number of real-valued energy points, are obtained as…
Using non relativistic effective Lagrangian techniques, we analyze the hadronic decay of the pi+pi- atom and the strong energy-level shift of pionic hydrogen in the ground state. We derive general formulae for the width and level shift,…
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…
We evaluate the isospin breaking corrections to the scattering amplitude \pi^- K^+ -> \pi^- K^+ at threshold in the framework of chiral perturbation theory. This channel is of particular interest for the strong 2S-2P energy level shift in…
After a short summary of my talk, I discuss $K_{l3}$ decays and elastic $\pi\pi$ scattering in the framework of chiral perturbation theory.
Coupled-channel $\pi K$ and $\eta K$ scattering amplitudes are determined by studying the finite-volume energy spectra obtained from dynamical lattice QCD calculations. Using a large basis of interpolating operators, including both those…
The master formula approach to chiral symmetry breaking is used to analyze the phase shifts for $\pi\pi$ scattering in the elastic region. The results are in excellent agreement with the data for the phase shifts up to the K-K bar…
An isospin analysis of $B\to\pi\pi$ decays yields $\sin 2\alpha$, where $\alpha$ is the usual CKM angle $\alpha\equiv arg [-V_{td}V_{tb}^\ast /(V_{ud}V_{ub}^\ast)]$, without hadronic uncertainty if isospin is a perfect symmetry. Isospin,…
Isospin symmetry breaking is discussed as a tool for studying the nature and production mechanisms of light scalar mesons. We are concerned with isospin breaking effects with an amplitude $\sim\sqrt{m_d-m_u}$ (instead of the usual $\sim…
The role of the effective momentum approximation to disentangle Coulomb distortion effects in quasielastic $(e,e')$ reactions is investigated. The separation of the cross section in longitudinal and transverse components is discussed…
The scattering lengths of the pi Sigma systems are key quantities in understanding the structure of the Lambda(1405) resonance and the subthreshold extrapolation of the barK N interaction. We demonstrate that the pi Sigma scattering lengths…
Although two pion decays of $K$, $D$ and $B$ have similar isospin structures, there are dramatic differences in the ratios $R_K$ and $R_{D,B}$ of amplitudes from $\Delta I =3/2$ and $\Delta I =1/2$ interactions. In $K\to \pi\pi$ decays…
Using the perturbative QCD amplitudes for $B\to \pi\pi$ and $B\to K\pi$, we have performed an extensive study of the parameter space where the theoretical predictions for the branching ratios are consistent with recent experimental data.…
Because of their small electromagnetic corrections, the isospin-breaking decays $\eta\to3\pi$ seem to be good candidates for extracting isospin-breaking parameters $ (m_d-m_u)$. This task is unfortunately complicated by large chiral…
