We study partial rate asymmetry in decays with single isospin final state. For K meson or hyperon decays, the partial rate asymmetries are always zero if the final states are single isospin states. In B decays the situation is dramatically…
Effects of CP violation and of final state interactions between pairs of pseudoscalar mesons are studied in three-body B+, B-, B0 and antiB0 decays into K pi pi. An alternative approach to the isobar model for three-body B decays is…
We study the hadronic charmless two-body B decays to final states involving pseudoscalar and vector mesons with QCD factorization approach, including the contributions from the chirally enhanced power corrections and weak annihilations. The…
In the recent years, fruitful results on charmed baryons are obtained by BESIII, Belle and LHCb. We investigate the two-body non-leptonic decays of charmed baryons in the flavor $SU(3)$ symmetry. Hundreds of amplitude relations are clearly…
We calculate the CP-averaged branching ratios and CP-violating asymmetries of a number of two-body charmless hadronic decays $\bar{B_s^0} \to PP, PV, VV$ in the perturbative QCD (pQCD) approach to leading order in $\alpha_s$ (here $P$ and…
Final-state interaction effects in charmless B_{u,d,s} to PP decays are studied. We investigate the B(bar)^0 to pi^+ pi^-, pi^0 pi^0 rates and the K pi direct CP violations, which lead to the so-called K pi puzzle in CP violation (Delta A).…
Isospin and flavor SU(3) relations in charmless hadronic B decays $B\to \pi \pi, \pi K$ are investigated in detail with paying attention to the SU(3) symmetry breaking effects in both amplitudes and strong phases. In general, the isospin…
A supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model, with maximal s_R-b_R mixing and a new source of CP violation, contains all the necessary ingredients to account for a possible anomaly in the measured CP asymmetry in B->phi K_s decay. In…
We report results of searches for charmless hadronic B meson decays to pseudoscalar(pi^+-,K^+-,Pi^0 or Ks^0)-vector(Rho, K* or Omega) final states. Using 9.7 million BBbar pairs collected with the CLEO detector, we report first observation…
The observed branching ratios for $B\to K \eta'$ decays are much larger than factorization predictions in the Standard Model (SM). Many proposals have been made to reconcile the data and theoretical predictions. In this paper we study these…
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…
The importance of measuring the non-$D \bar D$ decays of the $\psi'' = \psi(3770)$ resonance is discussed. These decays can shed light on a possible discrepancy between the total and $D \bar D$ cross sections at the $\psi''$, and on a…
In this talk, I describe a global fit to $B \to PP$ decays, where $B = \{B^0, B^+, B_s^0\}$ and the pseudoscalar $P = \{\pi, K\}$, under the assumption of flavour SU(3) symmetry [SU(3)$_F$]. It is found that the individual fits to $\Delta…
We study semileptonic B decay to the exclusive charmless states pi, rho/omega, eta and eta' using the 16 fb-1 CLEO Upsilon(4S) data sample. We find B(B^0 -> pi^-l^+nu) = (1.37 +- 0.15_stat +- 0.11_sys) x 10^-4 and B(B^0 -> rho^- l^+ nu) =…
We derive several relations between CP violating rate differences $\Delta(B\to PV) = \Gamma(B\to PV) - \Gamma(\bar B \to \bar P \bar V)$ for charmless $B\to P V$ decays in the Standard Model using SU(3) flavor symmetry. It is found that…
We report on a study of charmless B meson decays to three-kaon final states. The results are obtained with a 78.7 1/fb data sample collected on the Y(4S) resonance by the Belle detector operating at the KEKB asymmetric energy $e^+e^-$…
The color-suppressed \bar B^0-> D^{(*)0}\pi^0, D^{(*)0}\eta, D^0\omega decay modes have just been observed for the first time. The rates are all larger than expected, hinting at the presence of final state interactions. Considering \bar…

We consider charmless weak decays of beauty-baryons into decuplet baryons and pseudoscalar mesons in a general framework based on $SU(3)$-flavor decomposition of the decay amplitudes. The dynamical assumption independent $SU(3)$ analysis…
