The branching ratio of the \eta->3\pi decay is an important source of information on the value of the quark mass ratio 1/R=(m_d-m_u)/(m_s-\hat m). Furthermore, isospin breaking effects in the decays K->3\pi provide information on the pion…
We analyze the decay B0-->K+ pi- pi0 with a sample of 454 million B Bbar events collected by the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B factory at SLAC, and extract the complex amplitudes of seven interfering resonances over the…
We calculate the decay $\eta\to3\pi$ at next-to-next-to-leading order or order $p^6$ in Chiral Perturbation Theory. The corrections are somewhat larger than was indicated by dispersive estimates. We present numerical results for the Dalitz…
Searches for $CP$ violation in the decays $D^+_{(s)}\rightarrow \eta \pi^+$ and $D^+_{(s)}\rightarrow \eta^{\prime} \pi^+$ are performed using $pp$ collision data corresponding to 6 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity collected by the LHCb…
We study CP violation in $B\to K^* \ell^+\ell^-$ using generalized Dalitz plot asymmetries in the angular distribution. These new kind of asymmetries are constructed by adding B and ${\bar B}$ events, and do not require flavor or time…
CP violation in supersymmetry can give rise to rate asymmetries in the decays of supersymmetric particles. In this work we compute the rate asymmetries for the three-body chargino decays \tilde\chi^\pm_2 \to \tilde\chi^\pm_1 HH,…
A unitary coupled-channels model is presented for investigating the decays of heavy mesons and excited meson states into three light pseudoscalar mesons. The model accounts for the three-mesons final state interactions in the decay…
We present improved measurements of CP-violation parameters in the decays $B^0 \to \pi^+ \pi^-$, $B^0 \to K^+ \pi^-$, and $B^0 \to \pi^0 \pi^0$, and of the branching fractions for $B^0 \to \pi^0 \pi^0$ and $B^0 \to K^0 \pi^0$. The results…
Large CP violation is an interesting phenomenon both theoretically and experimentally. Last year, LHCb Collaboration found in some three-body decays of bottom mesons that large CP violations appear in regions of the Dalitz plots that are…
We calculate the branching ratio and direct CP asymmetry in nonleptonic two body B decays B^+- ->\pi^+- \eta'. It is shown that the tree diagram and gluon fusion mechanism via penguin diagram have comparable contributions to these decays…
The mechanism of CP violation remains one of the puzzles in particle physics. Key to understanding this phenomenon are nonleptonic $B$ decays, especially multibody decays which exhibit large CP asymmetries in various regions of phase space.…
Using the present upper bound on the neutron electric dipole moment, we give an estimate for the upper limit of the CP-violating couplings of the eta(eta') to the nucleon. Using this result, we then derive constraints on the CP-violating…
We study how to probe the anomalous CP-violating couplings of top quark with photon, Z and gluon in the ttbar threshold region at future e+e- colliders. These couplings contribute to the difference of the t and tbar polarization vectors…
A model for the $B^\pm \to \pi^-\pi^+\pi^\pm$ decay amplitude is proposed to study the large CP violation observed at the high mass region of the Dalitz plane. A short distance $ b \to u $ amplitude with the weak phase $\gamma$ is…
We express the amplitudes for charmless three-body B decays in terms of diagrams. In addition, we show how to use Dalitz-plot analyses to obtain decay amplitudes which are symmetric or antisymmetric under the exchange of two of the…
We systematically investigate the $CP$-averaged branching ratios and $CP$ violations (CPVs) for the two-body hadronic decays $\Lambda_b\to ph$, where $h$ runs through the mesons $\pi^-$, $\rho^-$, $a_1^-(1260)$, $K^-$, $K^{\ast -}$,…
We present a simple isospin invariant parametrization for $(B \to K\pi)$ decay amplitudes which consistently includes CP violation and (quasi-elastic) hadronic final states interactions. We find that the observed $(B \to K\pi)$ decays do…
The physical state of $\rho$-$\omega$-$\phi$ mesons can be mixed by the unitary matrix. The decay processes of $\omega \rightarrow \pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ and $\phi \rightarrow \pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ are from the isospin symmetry breaking. The…
We update the CP-violating asymmetries in K^+ -> 3 pi. In particular we study Delta g_C and Delta g_N -the asymmetries in the slope g. We emphasize its complementarity to the direct CP-violation parameter epsilon_K' and the large…
We point out the $CP$ asymmetry in the chain decay of $\Lambda_c^+\to \Delta^+K(t)(\to \pi^+\pi^-)$ is determined by the branching fractions of $\Lambda^+_c\to \Delta^{++} K^-$, $\Lambda^+_c\to \Delta^{+} K^0_{S,L}$ and $\Lambda^+_c\to…
