We determine the radiative decay amplitudes for decay into $D^*$ and $\bar{D} \gamma$, or $D^*_s$ and $\bar{D}_s \gamma$ of some of the charmonium like states classified as X,Y,Z resonances, plus some other hidden charm states which are…

Using data recorded by the CLEO-II detector at CESR we have searched for four radiative decay modes of the $D^0$ meson: $D^0\to\phi\gamma$, $D^0\to\omega\gamma$, $D^0\to\bar{K}^{*}\gamma$, and $D^0\to\rho^0\gamma$. We obtain 90% CL upper…

We evaluate theoretically the radiative decay widths into $\gamma\Lambda$ and $\gamma\Sigma^0$ of the two poles of the $\Lambda(1405)$ found in chiral unitary theories and we find quite different results for each of the two poles. We show…

We calculate the decay of pionium atoms into two photons. The pion polarizability gives rise to a 10% correction to the corresponding decay width for pointlike pions. This opens the possibility to obtain the difference between the electric…

Various studies of Standard Model parameters involve measuring the properties of a coherent admixture of $D^0$ and $\overline{D}^0$ states. A typical example is the determination of the Unitarity Triangle angle $\gamma$ in the decays $B\to…

Some years ago, a method was proposed for measuring the CP-violating phase gamma using pairs of two-body decays that are related by U-spin reflection (d <-> s). In this paper we adapt this method to charmless B -> PPP decays. Time-dependent…
