We obtain a model-independent expression for the complete Dalitz plot of semileptonic decays of polarized hyperons, which includes both the three-body and the four-body regions. We calculate radiative corrections to order alpha, neglecting…
We construct the theoretical framework for quasi-two-body $D$ meson decays with the help of pion and kaon electromagnetic form factors, and with which we study the contributions of the subprocesses $\rho(770,1450)\to K\bar{K}$ for the…
We study the charge correlations between charm mesons produced in 500 GeV pi- - N interactions and the charged pions produced closest to them in phase space. With 110,000 fully reconstructed D mesons from experiment E791 at Fermilab, the…
The decay rates and spectroscopy of the $D$ and $D_s$ mesons are computed in a nonrelativistic phenomenological quark-antiquark potential of the type $V(r)=-{4/3}\frac{\alpha_s}{r}+A r^{\nu}$ with different choices of $\nu$. Numerical…
The production of a $D\bar D$ meson-pair in antiproton-proton ($\bar p p$) annihilation close to the production threshold is investigated, with special emphasis on the role played by the $\psi$(3770) resonance. The study is performed in a…
Dilepton spectra from the decay of phi mesons produced in heavy-ion collisions at SIS/GSI energies ($\sim 2$ GeV/nucleon) are studied in the relativistic transport model. We include phi mesons produced from baryon-baryon, pion-baryon, and…
We study the partial decay widths of the charmonium states ($J/\psi$, $\psi(3686)$, $\psi(3770)$, $\chi_{c0}$, $\chi_{c2}$) to $D\bar D$ ($D^+D^-$ or $D^0\bar {D^0}$) in isospin asymmetric nuclear matter, in the presence of strong magnetic…
We review here the physics of purely leptonic decays of pi-, K-, D+, Ds+, and B- pseudoscalar mesons. The measured decay rates are related to the product of the relevant weak interaction based CKM matrix element of the constituent quarks…
Direct CP violation can exist in untagged B-meson decays to self-conjugate, three-particle final states; it would be realized as a population asymmetry in the untagged decay rate across the mirror line of the Dalitz plot of the three-body…
A phenomenological analysis of $D\to K\pi$ and $D_s^+\to K K $decays including both Cabibbo-favored and doubly-Cabibbo-suppressed modes have been presented by employing the present experimental data. SU(3) symmetry breaking effects from the…
The $\omega$- and $\rho$-resonance production and their dileptonic decay in $\pi^- A$ reactions at GSI energies are calculated within the intranuclear cascade (INC) approach. The invariant mass distribution of the dilepton pair for each…
New results on interface effects and correlations are reviewed, including Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein correlations in hadronic Z0 decays at LEP1.
We analyze the Dalitz plot parameters of eta to 3 pion decay in the framework of resummed chiral perturbation theory. This approach allows us to keep the uncertainties in the NNLO and higher orders under better control and estimate their…
The production cross sections of the prompt charmed mesons D$^0$, D$^+$, D$^{*+}$ and D$_s$ were measured at mid-rapidity in p-Pb collisions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=5.02$ TeV with the ALICE detector at…
The decay amplitude analyses of $B^\pm\to \pi^+ \pi^-\pi^\pm$ decays in the Dalitz plot performed by LHCb indicate that CP asymmetry for the dominant quasi-two-body decay $B^\pm\to\rho(770)^0\pi^\pm$ was found to be consistent with zero in…
New physics effects may yield a detectable mass difference in the D0-D0bar system, Delta m_D. Here we show that this has an important impact on some B --> D decays. The effect involves a new source of CP violation, which arises from the…
Charm mesons produced in nucleus-nucleus collisions are expected to be less attenuated (quenched) by the medium than hadrons containing only light quarks, since radiative energy loss of heavy quarks should be reduced by the `dead-cone'…
We study the effects of final state interactions on the eta(b) => J/psi J/psi decay. In particular, we discuss the effects of the annihilation of eta(b) into two charmed meson and their rescattering into J/psi J/psi. We find that the…
