A bound on the angle gamma of the unitarity triangle is derived using experimental information on the CP-averaged branching ratios for the rare decays B^+- -> pi^+- K^0 and B^+- -> pi^0 K^+-. The theoretical description is cleaner than the…
In the framework of the Standard Model the probability (and time) of pi --> K transitions (oscillations) are computed. These transitions are virtual ones since masses of pi and K mesons differ considerably. These transitions (oscillations)…

We study the triangle mechanism for the decay $\tau^- \to \nu_\tau \pi^- f_0(980)$, with the $f_0(980)$ decaying into $\pi^+ \pi^- $. This process is initiated by $\tau^- \to \nu_\tau K^{*0} K^-$ followed by the $K^{*0}$ decay into $\pi^-…

The doubly weak transition $b\to dd{\bar s}$ is highly suppressed in the standard model, which makes it a potential channel to explore new physics signals. We present a study of the exclusive two body wrong sign weak decay $\smash{\overline…

We make a direct and model-independent measurement of the low $\pi^+\pi^-$ mass phase motion in the $D^+ \to \pi^-\pi^+\pi^+$ decay. Our preliminary results show a strong phase variation, compatible with the isoscalar $\sigma(500)$ meson.…
The BES Collaboration has measured $\Psi(2S)$ decay to $J/\Psi \pi^+\pi^-$. Using the mixed hybrid theory for the $\Psi(2S)$ we estimate the decay to $J/\Psi(1S)$ + $\sigma$. Using the known $\sigma \rightarrow 2\pi$ coupling constant, we…
