We give a simple expression in linear and quadratic Dalitz--plot slopes which does not depend on the charge combination of the $3\pi$ state $(K^\pm \to \pi^{\pm}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ or $\pi^{\pm}\pi^{0}\pi^{0}$ and $K_L^{0} \to…
The Dalitz plot distribution of $B^0 \rightarrow \bar{D}^0 K^+ \pi^-$ decays is studied using a data sample corresponding to $3.0\rm{fb}^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data recorded by the LHCb experiment during 2011 and 2012. The data are…
We study the three-pion decays of the lightest isoscalar vector mesons, omega and phi, in a dispersive framework that allows for a consistent description of final-state interactions between all three pions. Our results are solely dependent…
We study the possible distortion of phase-space in the decays $K \to \pi \pi \pi$, which may result from final state interference among the decay products. Such distortion may influence the values of slope parameters extracted from the…
We describe the $\pi\pi$ $S$-wave in $D^+ \to\pi^+ \pi^- \pi^+$ decays using a unitary model for the $\pi\pi$ Final State Interactions (FSI). The three body decay is treated as a quasi two-body process where, at the weak vertex, the D meson…
We perform a time-dependent Dalitz plot analysis of $B^0 \to K^0_{\scriptscriptstyle S}\pi^+\pi^-$ in order to extract the ${CP}$ violation parameters of $f_0(980) K^0_{\scriptscriptstyle S}$ and $\rho^0(770) K^0_{\scriptscriptstyle S}$ and…
Heavy flavour decay to light hadrons is the key to understanding many aspects of the SM from CP violation to strong dynamics. It is often presumed in line with the simple quark spectator model of D decay to Kpipi that the Kpi system has…
The Nijmegen Unitarized Meson Model and its application to scalar mesons is briefly revisited. It is shown that all scalar states up to 1.5 GeV can be described as triplet-P-zero quark+antiquark states coupled to the OZI-allowed open and…
We describe Dalitz plots arising in studies of $D$-meson decays, and what we have learned from them in recent years. After some mention of technique and history, we focus on decay of the $D^\pm$ and $D_s^\pm$ mesons to the $K^-K^+\pi^\pm$…
We investigate the scalar resonances in the processes of $D^{0} \rightarrow \pi^{0}\pi^{0}\pi^{0}, \pi^{0}\pi^{0}\eta, \pi^{0}\eta\eta$ decays based on the chiral unitary approach for the final state interaction. We start from singly…
We have measured the vector-pseudoscalar mass splitting $M(D_s^{*+})-M(D_s^+) = 144.22\pm 0.47\pm 0.37 MeV$, significantly more precise than the previous world average. We minimize the systematic errors by also measuring the…
Using $e^+e^-$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 7.33~${\rm fb^{-1}}$ recorded by the BESIII detector at center-of-mass energies between 4.128 and 4.226~${\rm GeV}$, we present an analysis of the decay $D_{s}^{+}…
We investigate the $D_{s}^{+} \rightarrow K^{+} K^{-} \pi^{+}$ decay theoretically with the final state interactions, which is based on the chiral unitary approach and takes into account the external and internal $W$-emission mechanisms at…
Pion-kaon ($\pi K$) pairs occur frequently as final states in heavy-particle decays. A consistent treatment of $\pi K$ scattering and production amplitudes over a wide energy range is therefore mandatory for multiple applications: in…
From Dalitz-plot analyses of $D^+\to\pi^-\pi^+\pi^+$ and $D^+\to K^-\pi^+\pi^+$ decays, we find evidence for light and broad scalar resonances sigma(500) and kappa(800). From a Dalitz-plot analysis of $D^+_s\to\pi^-\pi^+\pi^+$ decays, we…
We present a phenomenological description of the LHCb data for the magnitudes and phases of the $\pi^-\pi^+$ $S$-wave amplitudes in the $D^+\to\pi^-\pi^+\pi^+$ and $D^+_s\to\pi^-\pi^+\pi^+$ decays. We operate within a simple model that…
The scalar -- isoscalar pi-pi phase shifts are analysed using a separable potential model of three coupled channels (pipi, KK and an effective 2pi2pi system). Model parameters are fitted to two sets of solutions obtained in a recent…
We report a direct measurement of $D^0-overline{D}^0$ mixing parameters through a time-dependent amplitude analysis of the Dalitz plots of $D^0 \rightarrow K_S^0 \pi^+ \pi^-$ and, for the first time, $D^0 \rightarrow K_S^0 K^+ K^-$ decays.…
We report results of the Dalitz analysis of the three-body charmless B->K+pi+pi- and B->K+K+K- decays based on a 140fb^{-1} data sample collected with the Belle detector. Measurements of branching fractions for quasi-two-body decays to…
We present Dalitz plot analyses for the decays of $B$ mesons to $D^-D^0K^+$ and $\overline{D}^0D^0K^+$. [Charge conjugate reactions are implicitly assumed throughout.] We report the observation of the $D^*_{s1}(2700)^+$ resonance in these…
