We perform a Dalitz plot analysis of D^+ -> K^-pi^+pi^+ decay with the CLEO-c data set of 572 pb^-1 of e^+e^- collisions accumulated at the psi(3770). This corresponds to 1.6 million D^+D^- pairs from which we select 140793 candidate events…

This paper reviews the Dalitz plot analysis for the decays $B^0(\bar B^0) \to \rho \pi \to \pi^+ \pi^- \pi^0$. We discuss what can be learned about the ten parameters in this analysis from untagged and from tagged time-integrated data. We…
Continuing our previous work(JHEP 0706:030,2007), large--$N_C$ techniques and partial wave dispersion relations are used to discuss $\pi\pi$ scattering amplitudes. We get a set of predictions for $O(p^6)$ low-energy chiral perturbation…

Lattice QCD studies of hadron-hadron interactions are performed by computing the energy levels of the system in a finite box. The shifts in energy levels proportional to inverse powers of the volume are related to scattering parameters in a…
I discuss CLEO-c opportunities in Dalitz plot analyzes with the data samples available now and projected by the end of CESR-c run. Using 281 pb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collisions at mass of $\psi(3770)$ we present results of the Dalitz plot…
Hadronic transitions of $\chi_{cJ}\to \eta_{c}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ (J=0, 1, 2) are searched for using a sample of $1.06\times 10^{8}$ $\psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage ring. The $\etac$ is reconstructed…
