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…
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…
Phases of elements of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix can be obtained using decays of $B$ mesons to $\pi^+ \pi^-$, $\pi^\pm K^\mp$, and $\pi^+ K^0$ or $\pi^- \overline{K}^0$. For $B^0~{\rm or}~ \overline{B}^0 \to \pi^+ \pi^-$,…
The matrix elements for $K\rightarrow \pi \pi \l \nu$ decays are described by four form factors $F,G,H$ and $R$. We complete previous calculations by evaluating $R$ at next-to-leading order in the low-energy expansion. We then estimate…
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 review the physics of purely leptonic decays of $\pi^\pm$, $K^\pm$, $D^{\pm}$, $D_s^\pm$, and $B^\pm$ pseudoscalar mesons. The measured decay rates are related to the product of the relevant weak-interaction-based CKM matrix element of…
We study the decay properties of a heavy-light meson. We reformulate the decay amplitudes for the heavy-light systems and find a new way to calculate decay rates. Applying this formulation, we find a new sum rule for the radiative decays of…

Nowadays High Energy Physics experiments can accumulate unprecedented statistics of heavy flavour decays that allows to apply new methods, based on the study of very rare phenomena, which used to be just desperate. In this paper we propose…
The Delta I = 3/2 K to Pi Pi decay amplitude is calculated on RBC/UKQCD 32^3 x 64, L_s=32 dynamical lattices with 2+1 flavors of domain wall fermions using the DSDR and Iwasaki gauge action. The calculation is performed with a single pion…
We calculate $\Delta I = 3/2$ kaon decay matrix elements using domain wall fermions and the DBW2 gauge action at one coarse lattice spacing corresponding to $a^{-1} = 1.3$ GeV. We employ the Lellouch and L\"uscher formula and its extention…
Dalitz-plot analyses of $B\rightarrow K\pi\pi$ decays provide direct access to decay amplitudes, and thereby weak and strong phases can be disentangled by resolving the interference patterns in phase space between intermediate resonant…

We have derived the tensor amplitudes for partial wave analysis of $\psi\to\Delta\bar{\Delta}$, $\Delta \to p \pi$ within the helicity frame, as well as the amplitudes for the other decay sequences with same final states. These formulae are…
I demonstrate that the short distance contribution to K --> Pi Pi decays must be supplemented with large distance effects. A hybrid calculation is outlined based on QCD diagrams supplemented by chiral contributions and Pi-Pi phaseshifts.
