We study the $d\Gamma / dq^2$ spectra and the branching fractions of the $D$ meson exclusive semileptonic decays with the lepton mass effects into consideration. We investigate their sensitivity to form factor models, and find that the…
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…
We discuss the rescattering effects in decays $B\to \pi+K$. The picture we take is very simple: first, B decay into $K*\rho$, then $K*$ and $\rho$ go to kaon and pion by exchanging a pion. We find a up to ten percent CP violation asymmetry…
A Regge model calculation relates the strong phase in $B \to DK$ to that in $B\to D\pi$. This provides a significant test of a hadronic picture of final state interactions in B decays.
We study in detail the prediction for the semileptonic decays $\bar{B} \to D (D^*) \pi \ell \bar{\nu}$ by heavy quark and chiral symmetry. The branching ratio for $\bar{B} \to D \pi \ell \bar{\nu}$ is quite significant, as big as…
We present a compressive study on rare semileptonic $B_c \to D^{(*)}\tau \bar \nu_\tau$ decays involving $b \to u \tau \bar \nu_\tau$ quark level transitions in an effective field theory approach. We consider the presence of an additional…
A method parametrizing all inelastic final state interactions (FSI) in $B\to PP$ decays is presented ($P$ - pseudoscalar meson). The method explicitly shows how rescattering leads to the replacement of the short-distance amplitudes with the…
We estimate effects of the final state interactions in B -> pi pi decays coming from rescattering of pi pi via exchange of rho, sigma, f_0 mesons. Then we include the rho rho rescattering via exchange of pi, omega, a_1 mesons and finally we…
The large localized CP asymmetries observed by LHCb in three-body charmless decays of $B$ mesons brings new challenge for experimentalists and their traditional models to fit data. With higher statistics, rescattering and three-body…
We present a new study of D semileptonic decays on the lattice which employs the Highly Improved Staggered Quark (HISQ) action for both the charm and the light valence quarks. We work with MILC unquenched $N_f = 2 + 1$ lattices and…
(Contribution to Proceedings of the Seventh International Symposium On Heavy Flavor Physics, July 7-11, 1997, Santa Barbara.) Theoretical approaches to form factors of semileptonic decays are discussed in application to $B \ra D + l+\bar…
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 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…
The semileptonic decay $D^{+}_{s}\rightarrow \pi^{+}\ell^{-}\ell^{+}$, where $\ell=e, \ \mu$, is used as a reference channel when looking for suppressed or forbidden processes of the standard model of the form $D_{s}\rightarrow…
The pseudoscalar decays into lepton pairs $P\rightarrow\overline{\ell}\ell$ are analyzed with the machinery of Canterbury approximants, an extension of Pad\'e approximants to bivariate functions. This framework provides an ideal…
We calculate the form factors of the $K \to \pi l \nu$ semileptonic decays in three-flavor lattice QCD, and study their chiral behavior as a function of the momentum transfer and the Nambu-Goldstone boson masses. Chiral symmetry is exactly…
The final state interactions (FSI) model, in which soft rescattering of low mass intermediate states dominate, is suggested. It explains why the strong interaction phases are large in the $B_d\to\pi\pi$ channel and are considerably smaller…
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…
While the light scalar mesons ($S_0$) are considered to be either ordinary $q\bar q$ or exotic tetraquark states, we investigate the semileptonic decays $D\to S_0 e^+\nu_e$, by taking into account the resonant effects of $S_0\to M_1 M_2$,…
I discuss the results of a recent quenched lattice calculation of the two independent form factors parametrizing the semileptonic decays between heavy-light pseudoscalar mesons. The differential decay rate of the process B --> D l nu has…
