We calculate final-state interaction corrections to the energy-angular distribution of l^+ in semi-leptonic top quark decay, where the parent top quark is produced via e^+e^- -> t\bar{t} near threshold. These are the corrections due to…

Analysis of charged and neutral B meson decays into pi+ pi- K, K+ K- K and K0S K0S K0S is performed using a unitary representation of the pi pi and K anti- K final state interactions. Comparison of the theoretical model with the…

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…

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…

The color-suppressed \bar B^0-> D^{(*)0}\pi^0, D^{(*)0}\eta, D^0\omega decay modes have just been observed for the first time. The rates are all larger than expected, hinting at the presence of final state interactions. Considering \bar…

Various new measurements in charmless $B_{u,d,s}\to PP$ modes, where $P$ is a low lying pseudoscalar meson, are reported by Belle and LHCb. These include the rates of $B^0\to\pi^0\pi^0$, $\eta\pi^0$, $B_s\to\eta'\eta'$, $B^0\to K^+K^-$ and…

The implications of chiral $SU(3)_L \times SU(3)_R$ symmetry and heavy quark symmetry for the radiative decays $D^{*0}\to D^0\gamma$, $D^{*+}\to D^+\gamma$, and $D_s^*\to D_s\gamma$ are discussed. Particular attention is paid to $SU(3)$…

We study $D_{s}^{+}\to\rho^{0(+)}a^{+(0)}_{0}$, $D_{s}^{+}\to\omega a^{+}_{0}$, and the resonant $D_{s}^{+}\to\rho a_0$,$a_{0}\to \eta\pi(KK)$ decays. In the final state interaction, where $D_s^+\to (\eta^{(\prime)}\pi^+,K^+\bar K^0)$ are…

In view of important implications in the B decay, the 0-0- decay modes of J/psi are analyzed with broken flavor SU(3) symmetry in search for long-distance final-state interactions. If we impose one mild theoretical constraint on the…

The newly observed $\bar B^0 \to \bar K^0\pi^0$ mode is quite sizable while $\pi^-\pi^+$ is rather small. Data also hint at $\pi^-\pi^0 \gtrsim \pi^-\pi^+$. Though consistent with zero, central values of CP violating asymmetries in…

Using rotation in SU(3) space, a set of relations between various decay modes of B_{d} and B_{s} are derived. The decays bar{B}_{d}^{0}-> K^{*-}pi ^{+}(rho ^{+}K^{-}), bar{B}_{s}^{0}-> K^{*-}K^{+} are expressed in terms of decay parameters…

We study the final-state interactions in $B \to \pi K$ decays through $B \to VV \to \pi K$ processes where the inelastic rescattering occurs via single pion exchange. The next-to-leading order low energy effective Hamiltonian and BSW model…

We report the results of a study of neutral B decays to the $D^0 \pi^+ \pi^-$ and $D^{*0} \pi^+ \pi^-$ final states using complete $D^{(*)0}$ reconstruction. The contributions from two-body $B\to D^{**} \pi$ with narrow ($j_q=3/2$) $D^{**}$…

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…

This paper presents a detailed analysis of the three-body final state interactions in the $B^+\to D\bar{D}K^+$ process, whose phase space is sufficient small. To precisely extract the resonance parameters, for instance the…

We study the final-state interaction (FSI) effects in charmless B_{u,d,s} to PP decays. We consider a FSI approach with both short- and long-distance contributions, where the former are from in-elastic channels and are contained in…

Within the Standard Model, and if one assumes that soft rescattering effects are negligible, the CP asymmetry A^dir_CP (B^\pm -> \pi^\pm K) is predicted to be very small and the ratio R = BR(B_d -> \pi^\mp K^\pm)/BR(B^\pm -> \pi^\pm K)…

Final-state interaction effects in charmless B_{u,d,s} to PP decays are studied. We investigate the B(bar)^0 to pi^+ pi^-, pi^0 pi^0 rates and the K pi direct CP violations, which lead to the so-called K pi puzzle in CP violation (Delta A).…
