Decays into three particles are often described in terms of two-body resonances and a non-interacting spectator particle. To go beyond this simplest isobar model, crossed-channel rescattering effects need to be accounted for. We quantify…

In this paper, we calculated the branching ratios of the quasi-two-body decays $B \to \eta_c (1S ,2S)$ $[\rho(770), \rho(1450),\rho(1700)\to ] \pi\pi$ by employing the perturbative QCD (PQCD) approach. The contributions from the $P$-wave…
The $K_S \to 3 \pi^0$ decay is a pure CP violating process which, assuming CPT invariance, allows one to investigate direct CP violation. This decay has not been observed so far, and the best upper limit on the branching ratio $BR(K_S to…
