The semileptonic $D_{l4}$ decay including $D\to K\pi l\nu$ and $D\to \pi\pi l\nu$ have been extensively studied. In these references, the form factors and differential decay rate are explicitly stated. However, we would like to stress that…

Three ways are compared of dealing with rescattering effects in $B^{\pm}\to K^0\pi^{\pm}$, in order to determine the weak phase $\gamma$ from these processes and $B^{\pm}\to K^{\pm}\pi^0$. We find that neglecting these contributions…

The final state interactions of pions in decays $K^\pm\to\pi^\pm\pi^0\pi^0$ are considered using the methods of quantum mechanics. We show how to incorporate the electromagnetic effects in the amplitudes of these decays and to work out the…

The decays $\tau^-\to K^-\eta\nu_\tau$ and $K^-\eta^\prime\nu_\tau$ are studied in the context of Chiral Perturbation Theory supplemented with the explicit inclusion of resonances. For the required vector-form factors we have explored three…

Using extended Khuri-Treiman equations, we evaluate the final state interactions due to two-pion rescatterings to the decays $\eta\to \pi^0 \pi^+ \pi^-$ and $\eta\to \pi^0 \pi^0 \pi^0$. As subtraction to the dispersion relation we take the…

We study the subleading corrections originating from the 3-parton (q\bar q g) Fock states of final-state mesons in B decays. The corrections could give significant contributions to decays involving an \omega or \eta^{(\prime)} in the final…

I give a brief review of final state interactions in meson decays. I describe possible effects of FSI in K, D and B systems, paying particular attention to the description of the heavy meson decays. Available theoretical methods for dealing…

We report a search for $B$ decays to selected final states with the $\eta_c$ meson: $B^{\pm}\to K^{\pm}\eta_c\pi^+\pi^-$, $B^{\pm}\to K^{\pm}\eta_c\omega$, $B^{\pm}\to K^{\pm}\eta_c\eta$ and $B^{\pm}\to K^{\pm}\eta_c\pi^0$. The analysis is…

The $B \to K^{*}\rho$, $ K^{*}\omega$ decays are useful to determine the CKM angle $\phi_3=\gamma$. Their polarization fractions are also interesting since the polarization puzzle of the $B\to \phi K^*$ decay. We study these decays in the…

We study quasi-elastic rescattering effects in B_{u,d,s}(bar) to DP, D(bar)P decays, where P is a light pseudoscalar. The updated measurements of B_{u,d}(bar) to DP decays are used to extract the effective Wilson coefficients a^{eff}_1 ~…

We argue that the factorizable $c\bar c$ long- and short-distance contributions to the $B\to K^*\gamma$ amplitude vanish, separately, if defined in a gauge-invariant way. Therefore, the $c\bar c$ states contribute to the radiative decay…

We discuss all contributions from Zweig-rule-satisfying SU(3)-breaking final state interactions (FSIs)in the B -> PP decays (neglecting charmed intermediate states), where PP=pi pi, pi K, KK, pi eta (eta'), and K eta (eta'). First, effects…

The sign of $A_{\rm CP}(K^-\pi^+) < 0$, the evidence for $\bar B^0 \to \pi^0\pi^0$, and the possibly sizable $A_{\pi\pi}$ and $S_{\pi\pi}$ in $\bar B^0 \to \pi^+\pi^-$ all suggest that final state rescattering may be needed in $\bar B\to…

We consider inflaton decay to final state bosons with self-interactions of moderate strength. We find that such final state self-interactions qualitatively alter the reheat dynamics. In the case of narrow-band resonance decay, where a…
