The rare decays of mesons are higher order effects in weak interactions. The main contributions to such decay processes are from the Z-penguin, the photonpenguin and the box diagram. At the quark level, these contributions are well known.…

We study the rho^0 and phi decays into pi^+ pi^- gamma, pi^0 pi^0 gamma and phi into pi^0 eta gamma using a chiral unitary approach to deal with the final state interaction of the M M system. The final state interaction modifies only…

We present a search for B decays to a charged scalar meson a0+ and a pi0 where the a0+ decays to an eta meson and a pi+. The analysis was performed on a data sample consisting of 383x10-6 BBbar pairs collected with the Babar detector at the…

We present recent results from the Belle experiment on rare hadronic B meson decays. The results are based on a 78 fb^{-1} data sample and consist of branching fractions, CP asymmetries, and polarization amplitudes. The decays studied…

Rare decays of b hadrons provide a powerful way of identifying contributions from physics beyond the Standard Model, in particular from new hypothetical particles too heavy to be produced at colliders. The most relevant experimental…

Scalar mesons $a^0_0(980)$ and $f_0(980)$ can mix with each other through isospin violating effects, and the mixing intensity has been predicted at the percent level in various theoretical models. However the mixing has not been firmed…

The $\gamma\gamma\to\pi\pi$ reactions are discussed. To describe those processes, we include dipion continuum, resonances, high-energy pion-pion rescatterings, $\rho$ meson exchange and pQCD Brodsky-Lepage mechanisms. The cross section for…

We report evidence for the $B$ meson decays, $B^\pm\to J/\psi \eta K^\pm$ and $B^0\to J/\psi \eta K^0_S$, using {90} million $B\bar B$ events collected at the $\ensuremath{\Upsilon{(4S)}}$ resonance with the \babar detector at the PEP-II…

Extensions of the MSSM often predict the existence of new fermions and their scalar superpartners which are vectorlike with respect to the standard model gauge group but may be chiral under additional gauge factors. In this paper we explore…

Two mechanisms for the $\pi_1$ ($J^{PC}=1^{-+}$) hybrid meson decay processes $\pi_1\to\eta\pi,\eta'\pi$ are investigated. These mechanisms are applied to $\phi\to\eta\gamma,\eta'\gamma$ and $J/\psi\to\eta\gamma,\eta'\gamma$ decays to…

In the chiral unitary approach, we have studied the single Cabibbo-suppressed decays $\Lambda_c\to pK^+K^-$ and $\Lambda_c \to p \pi^+\pi^-$ by taking into account the $s$-wave meson-meson interaction as well as the contributions from the…

We study the line shapes of radiative $\phi$-decays with a direct coupling of the $\phi$ meson to the $f_{0}(980)$ and $a_{0}(980)$ scalar mesons. The latter couple via derivative interactions to $\pi_0 \pi_0$ and $\pi_0 \eta$,…

The decay widths \phi \to \gamma f_0(980) and \phi \to \gamma a_0(980) are calculated taking into account the finite widths of the scalar resonances f_0(980) and a_0(980). The latter are shown to be essential in order to obtain meaningful…
