We present a unified description of the vector meson and dilepton production in elementary and in heavy ion reactions. The production of vector mesons ($\rho,\omega$) is described via the excitation of nuclear resonances ($R$). The…
Relative phases of amplitudes for $D$ meson decays to a light pseudoscalar meson $P$ and a light vector meson $V$ decaying to two pseudoscalar mesons will lead to characteristic interferences on the three-body Dalitz plot. These phases may…
We present results on the pseudoscalar meson masses from a fully dynamical simulation of QCD+QED. We concentrate particularly on violations of isospin symmetry. We calculate the $\pi^+$-$\pi^0$ splitting and also look at other isospin…
We perform a theoretical study of the $D_s^{+}\to \pi^{+}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}\eta$ decay. We look first at the basic $D_s^{+}$ decay at the quark level from external and internal emission. Then hadronize a pair or two pairs of $q\bar{q}$ states…
The CP conserving amplitudes for the decays $K\to3\pi$ are calculated in Chiral Perturbation Theory. The calculation is made at the next-to-leading order including strong and local electromagnetic isospin breaking. A comparison is made…
Relativistic, kinematically complete phenomenological expressions for the dilepton decay rates of nucleon resonances with arbitrary spin and parity are derived in terms of the magnetic, electric, and Coulomb transition form factors. The…
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…
This paper is focused on two issues: the K\pi spectrum near threshold - the kappa problem -, and the pi\pi spectrum between 1.2 and 1.5 GeV/(c^2) -- the f_0(1370) problem. Both problems will be analysed from the perspective of the $D$ meson…
It is shown that the kinematical difference in the decays B^- -> D^0 \ell \tilde \nu and B^0 -> D^+ \ell \tilde \nu due to the isotopic mass splittings of the B and D mesons is compensated in the total decay rate by an appropriate…
In a model of isospin symmetry breaking we obtain the ($e^{-} e^{+} \rightarrow \pi^{-} \pi^{+}$) amplitude $Q$ and the isospin $I=0$ and $I=1$ relative phase $\psi$ at the $\phi (1020)$ resonance in aproximate agreement with experiment.…
Two-body non-leptonic decays of B mesons into PT and VT modes are calculated using the non-relativistic quark model of Isgur et al.. The predictions obtained for $B \to \pi D^*_2, \rho D_2^*$ are a factor of $3\sim 5$ below present…
We perform an analysis of two-body non leptonic decays of $B$ and $B_s$ mesons in the factorization approximation. We make use of the semileptonic decay amplitudes previously calculated on the basis of an effective lagrangian satisfying…
The first attempt is made to provide a quantitative theoretical interpretation of the WASA-at-COSY experimental data on the basic double-pion production reactions $pn \to d \pi^0\pi^0$ and $pn \to d \pi^+\pi^-$ in the energy region $T_p =1$…
The non-leptonic hyperon decays are analyzed up to one-loop order including all counterterms in the framework of heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory. We use the exchange of the spin-3/2 decuplet resonances as an indication of which…
We prove a U-spin amplitude triangle relation among doubly Cabibbo-suppressed (DCS) charmed meson decays, $D^0\to K^+\pi^-, D^0 \to K^0\pi^0$ and $D^+_s \to K^0 K^+$, congruent to an isospin relation among corresponding Cabibbo-favored (CF)…
Heavy flavour decay to light hadrons is the key to understanding many aspects of the SM from CP violation to strong dynamics. It is often presumed in line with the simple quark spectator model of D decay to Kpipi that the Kpi system has…
Photodisintegration of the deuteron above $\pi$ threshold is studied in a coupled channel approach including $N \Delta$ and $\pi d$ channels with consideration of pion retardation in potentials and exchange currents. A much improved…
We study the decay of D+ and Ds+ mesons into charged five body final states, and report the discovery of the decay mode D+ -> K+K-Pi+Pi+Pi-, as well as measurements of the decay modes D+ -> K-Pi+Pi+Pi+Pi-, Ds+ -> K+K-Pi+Pi+Pi-, Ds+ ->…
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…
We use a non-perturbative approach which combines coupled channel Lippmann-Schwinger equations with meson-meson potentials provided by the lowest order chiral Lagrangian. By means of one parameter, a cut off in the momentum of the loop…
