A new approach to the analysis of three body decays is presented. Measurements of the S-wave K pi amplitude are made in independent ranges of invariant mass from threshold up to the upper kinematic limit in D+ to K-pi+pi+ decays. These are…
A model-independent partial-wave analysis of the \swave component of the $K\pi$ system from decays of $D^{+}$ mesons to the three-body $\Km\pip\pip$ final state is described. Data come from the Fermilab E791 experiment. Amplitude…
Using data from FOCUS (E831) experiment at Fermilab, we present a model independent partial-wave analysis of the $K^-\pi^+$ S-wave amplitude from the decay $D^+ \to K^-\pi^+\pi^+$. The S-wave is a generic complex function to be determined…
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…
We investigate the $D_{s}^{+} \rightarrow K^{+} K^{-} \pi^{+}$ decay theoretically with the final state interactions, which is based on the chiral unitary approach and takes into account the external and internal $W$-emission mechanisms at…
A recent analysis of data on the two photon production of the $\eta_c$ and its decay to $K(K\pi)$ has determined the $K\pi$ $S$-wave amplitude in a "model-independent" way assuming primarily that the additional kaon is a spectator in this…
The decay $D^{+} \rightarrow K_{S}^{0} \pi^{+} \pi^{+} \pi^{-}$ is studied with an amplitude analysis using a data set of 2.93${\mbox{\,fb}^{-1}}$ of $e^+e^+$ collisions at the $\psi(3770)$ peak accumulated by the BESIII detector.…
Pion-kaon ($\pi K$) pairs occur frequently as final states in heavy-particle decays. A consistent treatment of $\pi K$ scattering and production amplitudes over a wide energy range is therefore mandatory for multiple applications: in…
The low-energy S-wave component of the decay $D^+ \to K^- \pi^+ \pi^+$ is studied by means of a chiral SU(3)XSU(3) effective theory. As far as the primary vertex is concerned, we allow for the possibility of either direct production of…
The $D^+ \to K^-\pi^+\pi+$ decay have been observed in LHCb collaboration with thousands of events per second from $K\pi$ threshold. The theoretical treatment of this decay includes a rich dynamic behaviour that mix weak and strong…
In this master thesis I discuss how the weak three-body decay B^+ --> pi^- pi^+ K^+ is related to the strong interactions between the final-state particles. Current issues in hadron spectroscopy define a region of interest in a Dalitz plot…
Final state interactions are considered to formulate the $B$ meson decay amplitude for the $K\pi\pi$ channel. The Faddeev decomposition of the Bethe-Salpeter equation is used in order to build a relativistic three-body model within the…
We use a twice-subtracted partial-wave dispersion relation in the elastic unitarity approximation for final-state interactions to study the amplitude for the delta I = 1/2 CP-conserving weak process K+spurion->pi+pi. We use a simple…
We consider what constraints unitarity and CPT invariance yield on the strong and electromagnetic phases entering K -> pi pi decay. In particular, we show that the relative size of the electromagnetically-induced changes in the I=0 and I=2…
In this paper we present a detailed study of the four-body decay $B^0\to K^{+}\pi^{-}\ell^{+}\ell^{-}$, where tensions with the Standard Model predictions have been observed. Our analysis of the decay with P- and S-wave contributions to the…
We assess the importance of final state interactions in $D^+ \rar K^- \p^+ \p^+$, stressing the consistency between two- and three-body interactions. The basic building block in the calculation is a $K\pi$ amplitude based on unitarized…
We propose a phenomenological three component model describing the decay amplitude of the process $D_{s}^{+} \ra 3\pi$. The first component is a constant background, the second one is a Breit-Wigner amplitude associated to a quasi two-body…
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 present a model-independent method to study the four-body decay $B\to K^*(\to K^+\pi^-)\mu^+\mu^-$, based on extracting continuous observables with a moments approach. The method allows the observables to be determined unbinned in both…
