We study the contribution of 2nd generation of quarks in NSIs. We investigate it through the rare decays of mesons involving neutrinos in the final state. We show the C and s quarks can effect NSIs just like u and s. We explore constraints…
Careful discussions are made on some points which are met in studying B decay final state interactions, taking the $B^0\to \pi^+ K^-$ process as an example. We point out that $\pi$--exchange rescatterings are not important, whereas for…
We consider four- and six-fermion interacting models at finite temperature and density. We construct the corresponding free energies and investigate the appearance of first- and second-order phase transitions. Finite-size effects on the…
In this review we give a perspective of the theoretical work done recently on the interpretation of results from $B$, $D$, $\Lambda_b$, $\Lambda_c$ weak decays into final states that contain interacting hadrons, and how it is possible to…
A model for the p d --> p d eta reaction published earlier, including the final state interaction (FSI) of all particles, is revisited to investigate the low energy data on this reaction. The three body problem of p-d-eta scattering in the…
Final-state rescattering effects on the hadronic B decays and their impact on direct CP violation are examined. The phenomenology of the polarization anomaly in $B\to\phi K^*$ decays is discussed.
The kaons decays to the pairs of charged and neutral pions are considered in the framework of the non-relativistic quantum mechanics. The general expressions for the decay amplitudes to the two different channels accounting for the strong…
Inclusive and exclusive decays of heavy flavours look quite different from a theoretical viewpoint. We argue that inclusive decays can be treated quantitatively and report on the calculation of the perturbative corrections to the Final…
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…
Hadronic decays of $B$ mesons are reviewed. First, masses of $B$ mesons and observed patterns together with physics behind them are discussed. Then the effective Hamiltonian responsible for major decays is presented and its practical…
These lectures provide an introduction to various topics in heavy-flavor physics. We review the theory and phenomenology of heavy-quark symmetry, exclusive weak decays of $B$ mesons, inclusive decay rates, and some rare $B$ decays.
Dispersive effects from strong $\pi\pi$ rescattering in the final state (FSI) of weak $K\to\pi\pi$ decays are revisited with the goal to have a global view on their {\it relative} importance for the $\Delta I=1/2$ rule and the ratio…
The influence of the mutual interaction between the two outgoing nucleons (NN-FSI) in electro- and photoinduced two-nucleon knockout from $^{16}O$ has been investigated perturbatively. It turns out that the effect of NN-FSI depends on the…
The decays of $B$ mesons to two-body hadronic final states are analyzed within the context of broken flavor SU(3) symmetry, extending a previous analysis involving pairs of light pseudoscalars to decays involving one or two charmed quarks…
Theoretical remarks are offered regarding recent hadron collider results on the mixing and decays of $B_s$ mesons. Topics covered include: (1) CP-violating mixing in $B_s(\ob_s) \to J/\psi \phi$, (2) the D0 dimuon charge asymmetry, (3)…
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 availability of data on $B_s$ decays to strange quasi-two-body final states, either with or without charmonium opens new possibilities for understanding different contributions of weak diagrams and in particular the relative…

Various exclusive and inclusive decays of B mesons are studied, at present, with dedicated experiments at ``B factories''. In order to compete with the experimental accuracy, we need a reliable theoretical framework to compute strong…
Decays of B mesons to states involving tau leptons can be used as a tool to search for the effects of new physics, such as those involving a charged Higgs boson. The experimental status of the decays B -> tau nu and B -> D^(*) tau nu is…
