I discuss the effect of final state interactions on the determination of the CKM angle \gamma from B -> K + pi decays. Using a simple Regge-based model for rescattering processes, I argue that such effects could be substantial enough to…

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…

We investigate whether the final state interaction (FSI) effect plays a significant role in the large hidden charm decay width of X(3872) and Y(3940) using a model. Our numerical result suggests (1) the FSI contribution to $X(3872)\to…

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…

The dynamical studies on the non-leptonic weak decays of charmed baryons are always challenging, due to the large non-perturbative contributions at the charm scale. In this work, we develop the final-state rescattering mechanism to study…

Motivated by the very recent measurement of the branching ratio of ${B_d^0} \to J/\psi \eta$ decay, we calculate the branching ratios of ${B_d}^0 \to J/\psi \eta$ and ${B_d}^0 \to J/\Psi \eta'$ decays in the perturbative QCD (pQCD)…

We estimate final state interactions in the B-meson decays into two pions by the Regge model. We consider Pomeron exchange and the leading Regge trajectories that can relate intermediate particles to the final state. In some cases, most…

We study the effects of a possible strong final state interaction among longitudinal W's in gamma.gamma --> W+W-. The relevant partial wave amplitudes are modified by an Omn\`es function approximated by a Breit-Wigner form factor. We study…

We consider the weak decays of a B meson to final states that contain a S-wave radially excited vector meson. We consider vector-pseudoscalar final states and calculate ratios of the type $B \to \rho^{\prime} \pi/B \to \rho \pi$, $B \to…

The radiative decays of the B mesons may have a significant contribution from the transition b -> s J/psi followed by the J/psi-photon conversion. The size of this contribution is re-analysed in the light of a phenomenological model for the…
