Using the complex scaling method, the low-lying three-body resonances of $^6$He, $^6$Li, and $^6$Be are investigated in a parameter-free microscopic three-cluster model. In $^6$He a 2$^+$, in $^6$Li a 2$^+$ and a 1$^+$, and in $^6$Be the…
We summarize recent results of baryonic B decays from Belle and BaBar. The results from Belle are based on 140 /fb and results from BaBar are based on 81 /fb of data collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance at KEKB or PEPII respectively. We…
Preliminary results are presented on a search for several exclusive charmless hadronic B decays, from data collected by the BABAR detector near the Upsilon(4S) resonance. These include two-body decay modes h^{+/-}h^{-/+} three-body decay…
We combine few- and many-body degrees of freedom in a model applicable to both bound and continuum states and adaptable to different subfields of physics. We formulate a self-consistent three-body model for a core-nucleus surrounded by two…
To lowest-order weak interactions in the standard model, we point out that a complete graph description of two-body mesonic $B$ (or $D$) decays needs ten topologically different quark diagrams. The two-body baryonic $B$ decays can be…
Based on the perturbative quantum chromodynamics (pQCD) approach and the quasi-two-body approximation, we have studied the three-body decays B^{0}_{s}\rightarrow \psi(3686,3770)\emph{K}\pi, which include the contributions of the…
We study many-body localised quantum systems subject to periodic driving. We find that the presence of a mobility edge anywhere in the spectrum is enough to lead to delocalisation for any driving strength and frequency. By contrast, for a…
The newly-discovered $\Xi_{cc}^{++}$ decays into the $ \Lambda_{c}^+ K^-\pi^+\pi^+$, but the experimental data has indicated that this decay is not saturated by any two-body intermediate state. In this work, we analyze the multi-body weak…
We investigate the three-body decays of $\Lambda_c^*(2595)$ and $\Lambda_c^*(2625)$ into $\Lambda_c \pi \pi$ by including a direct process going through the two-pion coupling of $\Lambda_c^*\Lambda_c \pi \pi$ in addition to the sequential…
General expressions for the breakup cross sections in the lab frame for $1+2$ reactions are given in terms of the hyperspherical adiabatic basis. The three-body wave function is expanded in this basis and the corresponding hyperradial…
Three-body interactions have been measured among three charged colloidal particles in deionized solvent. Two of the particles have been confined to an optical line-trap while the third one was approached by means of a focused laser beam.…
The direct CP asymmetry in quasi-two-body decays of $B \rightarrow (V\rightarrow \pi^{+}\pi^{-})P $ is investigated in the perturbative QCD method, where P represents a pseudoscalar meson and V refers to $\rho$, $\omega$ and $\phi$ mesons,…
In Xe+Sn central collisions from 12 to 20 MeV/A measured with the INDRA 4$\pi$ multidetector, the three-fragment exit channel occurs with a significant cross section. In this contribution, we show that these fragments arise from two…
We analyze the statistics of resonance widths in a many-body Fermi system with open decay channels. Depending on the strength of continuum coupling, such a system reveals growing deviations from the standard chi-square (Porter-Thomas) width…
The beta-delayed charged particle emission from ^11Li has been studied with emphasis on the three-body n+alpha+^6He and five-body 2alpha+3n channels from the 10.59 and 18.15 MeV states in ^11Be. Monte Carlo simulations using an R-matrix…
We make a detailed study of the three-body decays $B_{(s)}\rightarrow \chi_{c1} hh'$, where $h^{(')}$ is either a pion or kaon, by taking into account the $S$-wave states in the $hh'$ invariant mass distribution within the perturbative QCD…
The updated experimental data are used to analyze the final-state interaction phases of the two-body decay amplitudes of the B mesons. Combining the upper bounds on the branching fractions of the color-suppressed modes with those of the…
The $\psi$ decays provide a novel way to explore baryon spectroscopy and baryon structure. The baryon resonances observed from $\psi$ decays at BES are reviewed. The implications and prospects at upgraded BESIII/BEPCII are discussed.
Within a few-body formalism, we develop a general theory of surrogate nuclear and atomic reactions with the excitation of a resonance in the intermediate binary subsystem leading to three charged particles in the final state. The Coulomb…
We consider the decay of a generic resonance to two visible particles and any number of invisible particles. We show that the shape of the invariant mass distribution of the two visible particles is sensitive to both the mass spectrum of…
