A short overview of recent progress in describing kaon and pion decays within Chiral Perturbation Theory is presented. Particular attention is devoted to the issues of final-state interactions and isospin breaking in $K \to 2 \pi$, as well…
The recently-observed decay $B^0 \to D_s^+ \pi^-$ is expected to proceed mainly by means of a tree amplitude in the factorization limit: $B^0 \to \pi^- {(W^+)}^*$, ${(W^+)}^* \to D_s^+$. Under this assumption, we predict the corresponding…
The first measurements of the coherence factor R_{K_S^0K\pi} and the average strong--phase difference \delta^{K_S^0K\pi} in D^0 \to K_S^0 K^\mp\pi^\pm decays are reported. These parameters can be used to improve the determination of the…
We improve, in the energy region between $\bar{K}K$ threshold and $\sim~1.4$ GeV, the energy-dependent phase shift analysis of $\pi\pi$ scattering presented in a previous paper. For the S0 wave we have included more data above $\bar{K}K$…
In this paper, we studied the $B_{(s)} \to (D_{(s)},\bar{D}_{(s)}) \rho \to (D_{(s)}, \bar{D}_{(s)})\pi \pi$ decays by employing a framework for the quasi-two-body decays in the perturbative QCD (PQCD) factorization approach. We use the…
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.…
A theoretical model of the reactions e+ e- --> K+ K- gamma and e+ e- --> K0 K0bar gamma has been derived. The strong interaction between kaons is taken into account using a general form of the K Kbar scattering amplitude. It is shown that…
We investigate the interplay between crossed channel final state interactions and the constraints from two--particle unitarity for the reactions J/psi->V pi pi and VK\bar K, where V is either omega or phi. Using a model where the parameters…
Different from the previous treatment in a two-body framework, we introduce the dimeson distribution amplitudes (DAs) to describe the strong dynamics between the S-wave resonances $a_0(980, 1450)$ and the $K\bar K (\pi\eta)$ pair, where the…
Inspired by the recent measurement of $CP$ asymmetry in the individual mode on LHCb, we study $CP$ asymmetry of the $D\to \pi\pi$ system in the isospin and topological analysis. The ratio between penguin and tree amplitudes $P/(T+C)$ in the…
The mixing between nonstrange and strange quark wavefunctions in the $\omega$ and $\phi$ mesons leads to a small predicted branching ratio $\b(D_s^+ \to \omega e^+ \nu_e) = {\cal O}(10^{-4})(\delta/3.34^\circ)^2$, where $\delta$ is the…
We show that the neglect of the $(V-A)\times (V+A)$ pieces of the electroweak penguin (EWP) amplitudes in the effective hamiltonian (the Wilson coefficients are very small) allows one to calculate the relative size of some tree and EWP…
We examine the D_s -> f_0(980) pi amplitude through a constituent quark-meson model, incorporating heavy quark and chiral symmetries, finding a good agreement with the recent E791 data analysis of D_s -> 3pi via f_0(980). The f_0(980)…
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…
Based on the perturbative quantum chromodynamics (pQCD) approach and the quasi-two-body approximation, we have studied the three-body decays B^{0}_{s}\rightarrow \psi(3686,3770)\emph{K}\pi, which include the contributions of the…
We present a theoretical study of $a_0(1710)$, the isovector partner of $f_0(1710)$, in the process $D^+_s \to \pi^+ K^0_SK^0_S$. The weak interaction part proceeds through the charm quark decay process: $c(\bar{s}) \to (s + \bar{d} +…
S-wave photoproduction of pion and kaon pairs on hydrogen is studied. Coupled channel final state interactions between different pseudoscalar mesons are included. Effective mass and momentum transfer distributions as well as total cross…
We develop a model to study the $D^0 \to K^- \pi^+ \eta$ weak decay, starting with the color favored external emission and Cabibbo favored mode at the quark level. A less favored internal emission decay mode is also studied as a source of…
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…
Inspired by recent BESIII's amplitude analysis on $D_s^+\to\pi^+\pi^0\pi^0$, we develop a model based on the chiral unitary approach to discribe the $D_s^+\to\pi^+\pi^0\pi^0$ decay, where $D_s^+$ decays into a $\pi^+$ and a quark-antiquark…
