The decay $b\to d e^+e^-$ has an amplitude containing comparable contributions proportional to $V_{tb}V_{td}^{*}$, $V_{cb}V_{cd}^{*}$ and $V_{ub}V_{ud}^{*}$. These pieces involve different unitarity phases produced by $c\bar{c}$ and…

Correlations are shown to arise in nonidentical mixed-particle pairs like $K^o \bar K^o$ when observed in identical decay modes like $K_S K_S$ in multiparticle final states containing many partial waves. No enhancement is found in any…
