CP asymmetries in $B^0(t)\to \pi^+ \pi^-$ are studied by relating this process in broken flavor SU(3) with $B^+\to K^0\pi^+$ and $B^0\to K^+\pi^-$. Using two different scenarios for SU(3) breaking, we show that the range of values of the…
The success of QCD factorization(QCDF) in predicting branching ratios for charmless $B$ decays to light pseudoscalar and vector mesons and the small CP asymmetries measured at $BABAR$, Belle and LHCb show that the phase in these decays, as…
The first measurements of the coherence factors (R_Kpipi0 and R_K3pi) and the average strong-phase differences (delta_D^Kpipi0 and delta_D^K3pi) for D0->K-pi+pi0 and D0->K-pi+pi+pi- are presented. These parameters can be used to improve the…

The potentialities of the production of the scalar $K\bar K$ molecules in the $\phi$ radiative decays are considered beyond the narrow resonance width approximation. It is shown that $BR(\phi\rightarrow\gamma…

We propose to measure the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa parameter (2 beta+gamma) using B^0 decays involving several intermediate states, and describe a general formalism that applies to a broad class of decays. The main advantage of this method…
We exploit the quantum coherence between pair-produced D0 and D0B in psi(3770) decays to make a first determination of the relative strong phase differences between D0--> K0Spi+pi- and D0B--> K0Spi+pi-, which are of great importance in…
A simple Regge pole model for $K\pi$ scattering explains the large $e^{i \delta}$ between isospin amplitudes which is observed at the D meson mass ($\delta \approx \pi/2$). It predicts $\delta \approx 14^{\circ}- 20^{\circ}$ at the B mass.…
The BESIII collaboration has recently reported the first time measurement of the decay asymmetry $\alpha(\Lambda_c^+ \to \Xi^0 K^+) = 0.01 \pm 0.16(stat.) \pm 0.03(syst.)$ and also a sizable phase shift of $\delta_P-\delta_S = -1.55 \pm…
Crucial inputs for a variety of $CP$-violation studies can be determined through the analysis of pairs of quantum-entangled neutral $D$ mesons, which are produced in the decay of the $\psi(3770)$ resonance. The relative strong-phase…
We describe a new method for obtaining the CP phase alpha via measurements of B_{d,s} -> K(*) Kbar(*) decays. This method is particularly appropriate for hadron colliders since some of the branching ratios are small [O(10^{-6})], and since…
The first flavor-tagged amplitude analysis of the decay D0 to the self-conjugate final state K+K-pi+pi- is presented. Data from the CLEO II.V, CLEO III, and CLEO-c detectors are used, from which around 3000 signal decays are selected. The…

Dalitz-plot analyses of $B\rightarrow K\pi\pi$ decays provide direct access to decay amplitudes, and thereby weak and strong phases can be disentangled by resolving the interference patterns in phase space between intermediate resonant…

A variety of CP violating asymmetries in $B^0$ decays is predicted in the Standard Model in terms of CKM (Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa) complex phases. These phases can also be determined from rate measurements of certain $B^+$ and $B^-$…
