The three-body decays $B^0_s \rightarrow \psi(2S,3S) \pi^+ \pi^-$ are studied based on the perturbative QCD approach. With the help of the nonperturbative two-pion distribution amplitudes, the analysis is simplified into the quasi-two-body…

Charmless 3-body decays of B mesons are studied in a simple model based on the factorization approach. We have identified two distinct sources of nonresonant contributions: a small contribution from the tree transition and a large source of…

From a sample of 848 $\pm$ 44 $D_s^+ \to \pi^- \pi^+ \pi^+$ decays, we find $\Gamma(D_s^+ \to \pi^- \pi^+ \pi^+) / \Gamma(D_s^+ \to \phi \pi^+) = 0.245 \pm 0.028^{+0.019}_{-0.012} $. Using a Dalitz plot analysis of this three body decay, we…

We study the nonresonant three-body decays of $B^{+}\to D^{(*)-}_{s} K^{+} \pi^{+}$ and $B_{d}\to D_{s}^{(*)-} K^{0} \pi^{+}$. We find that these decays can provide the information on the time-like form factors of $D^{(*)}_{s} K$. We also…

In this paper, we study the three-body decays $B^0/B^0_s \to \eta_c f_0(X)\to \eta_c \pi^+\pi^-$ by employing the perturbative QCD (PQCD) factorization approach. We evaluate the $S$-wave resonance contributions by using the two-pion…

We describe the $\pi\pi$ $S$-wave in $D^+ \to\pi^+ \pi^- \pi^+$ decays using a unitary model for the $\pi\pi$ Final State Interactions (FSI). The three body decay is treated as a quasi two-body process where, at the weak vertex, the D meson…

We study for the first time the three-body charmless baryonic decays $\bar B^0_s\to \bar p \Lambda M^+ (p \bar \Lambda M^-)$, with $M=\pi, K$. We find that the branching ratios of $\bar B^0_s\to (\bar p \Lambda K^+$ and $p\bar \Lambda K^-)$…

We have studied charmless hadronic decays of B mesons into two-body final states with kaons and pions and observe three new processes with the following branching fractions: BR(B-> pi+ pi-) = (4.3^{+1.6}_{-1.4} \pm 0.5) \times 10^{-6},…
