We present a new result on the K^+ --> pi^+ pi^0 gamma decay measurement using stopped kaons. The best fit to the decay spectrum comprised of 10k events gives a branching ratio for the direct photon emission of [3.8+-0.8(stat)+-0.7(syst)]…

Gravitational-wave astronomy seeks to extract information about astrophysical systems from the gravitational-wave signals they emit. For coalescing compact-binary sources this requires accurate model templates for the inspiral and,…

We analyze the theoretical description of radiative decays in charmonium. We use an elementary emission decay model to build the most general electromagnetic transition operator. We show that accurate results for the widths can be obtained…

We analyze a sample of 3 million quantum-correlated D0 D0bar pairs from 818 pb^-1 of e+e- collision data collected with the CLEO-c detector at E_cm = 3.77 GeV, to give an updated measurement of \cos\delta and a first determination of…

The strong-phase differences between $D^0\to K_{S/L}^0\pi^+\pi^-$ and $\bar{D}^0\to K_{S/L}^0\pi^+\pi^-$ decays are one of the most important inputs in measuring the $C\!P$ violating angle $\gamma$ via $B^- \to D K^-$ decays. They also play…

Differential cross sections for $K^-$ radiative capture in flight on the proton, leading to the $\gamma\Lambda$ and $\gamma\Sigma^0$ final states, have been measured at eight $K^-$ momenta between 514 and 750 MeV/$c$. The data were obtained…

After investigating the decays of a charmonium $\psi = J/\psi, \psi(2S)$ into a spin-1/2 baryon-antibaryon $B \bar{B}$ pair, with the determination of the only parameter that gives the EM amplitude for neutral final states, in this work we…

We re-examine the possibility to measure the photon polarization in $B \to K^*\gamma$ decays, via decays in which the photon subsequently undergoes nuclear conversion to a lepton pair. We obtain compact expressions for the full…

Based on $(2712.4\pm 14.3)\times10^{6}$ $\psi(3686)$ events, we investigate four hadronic decay modes of the $P$-wave charmonium spin-singlet state $h_c(^1P_1) \to h^+ h^- \pi^0/\eta$ ($h=\pi$ or $K$) via the process $\psi(3686) \to…

An amplitude analysis of the decay $D^0 \to K_S^0 \pi^0 \pi^0$ is performed to determine the relative magnitudes and phases of different intermediate processes. The analysis uses $e^+e^-$ collision data collected at the center-of-mass…

As we pointed out recently, the neutral decays $B_d\to\pi^\mp K^\pm$ and $B_d\to\pi^0K$ may provide non-trivial bounds on the CKM angle $\gamma$. In this paper, we reconsider this approach in the light of recent CLEO data, which look very…

We propose a method for determining $\gamma$ using $B^\pm\to D K^\pm$ decays followed by a multibody $D$ decay, such as $D \to K_S \pi^-\pi^+$, $D \to K_S K^-K^+$ and $D \to K_S \pi^-\pi^+\pi^0$. The main advantages of the method is that it…

The sensitivity in optical interferometry is strongly affected by losses during the signal propagation or at the detection stage. The optimal quantum states of the probing signals in the presence of loss were recently found. However, in…

We report partial wave analysis results for $J/\psi \to \gamma K^+ K^-$ based on $7.8 \times 10^6$ BESI $J/\psi$ events, and find $0^{++}$ to be dominant in the $f_J(1710)$ mass region. Some very preliminary results are presented from the…

Many known models, which generally use a factorization hypothesis, give a poor account of the decays B into J/psi + K(*). Usually there is a free overall factor, which is fit to the data, so that tests of the models rely upon ratios. The…
