Through a specific example of two-body color-favored charm decay, $D_s ^+ \rightarrow \phi \pi^+$, we illustrate how an effective and complex (unitarized) $a_1$, denoted by $a_1^{U,eff}$, may be defined such that it includes nonfactorized,…

We present a four-body semileptonic charm decay D^+ into K^-pi^+mu^+nu analysis in the range of 0.65 GeV/c^2 < mkpi < 1.5 GeV/c^2. We observe a low mass scalar contribution of 5.30 +- 0.74 + 0.99 - 0.96 % with respect to the total D^+ into…
The processes $D^0\to K^0 K^-\pi^+$ and $D^0\to\ok K^+\pi^-$ involve intermediate vector resonances whose amplitudes and phases are related to each other via flavor-SU(3) symmetry. Dalitz plots for these two processes can shed light on the…

CP violation in charm decay was observed in the decays $D^0\rightarrow P^{\pm}P^{\mp}$ of a $D^0$ meson to two pseudoscalars. When interpreted within the SM, the results imply that the ratio of the relevant rescattering amplitudes has a…
Meson-meson amplitudes are important on their own and also play key roles in analyses of heavy-meson and tau decays. In this work we propose a new phenomenological model suited to all $SU(3)$ mesonic two-body final state interactions up to…
