We analyze the decay modes of charmed mesons into two--pseudoscalars in a weak--gauged U(4)_L x U(4)_R chiral lagrangian model. The calculation is free of unknown parameters and only requires as inputs the masses of pseudoscalars and 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 nonleptonic weak decays of charmed mesons into a scalar meson and a pseudoscalar meson are studied. The scalar mesons under consideration are $\sigma$ [or $f_0(600)$], $\kappa$, $f_0(980)$, $a_0(980)$ and $K^*_0(1430)$. A consistent…
We present a lattice QCD calculation of the $\rho$ meson decay width via the $P$-wave scattering phase shift for the I=1 two-pion system. Our calculation uses full QCD gauge configurations for $N_f=2$ flavors generated using a…
We study the quasi-two-body $D\to SP$ decays and the three-body $D$ decays proceeding through intermediate scalar resonances, where $S$ and $P$ denote scalar and pseudoscalar mesons, respectively. Our main results are: (i) Certain external…
An analysis of the Dalitz plots for the decays $D^+\to K^-\pi^+\pi^+$ and $D^+\to\pi^-\pi^+\pi^+$ indicates that structure with significant phase variation is required in the s-wave $K^-\pi^+$ and $\pi^-\pi^+$ systems in the region below 1…
The decay widths of the 0^{++} and 1^{-+} heavy-light hybrids to B(D) and pion are calculated by using the QCD sum rules. The interpolated current of the hybrid is chosen as $g\bar q\gamma_{\alpha}G_{\alpha\mu}^aT^ah_{\it v}(x)$. In order…

We evaluate pionic decay widths of Lambda hypernuclei using a shell model for, both the nuclear bound and the continuum nucleon wave functions in the final state, and distorted waves for the outgoing pion. An excellent agreement with the…
Determining for the first time the Darwin operator contribution for the non-leptonic charm-quark decays and using new non-perturbative results for the matrix elements of $\Delta C=0$ four-quark operators, including eye-contractions, we…
The total decay widths of the charmed baryons are calculated by means of the $^3P_0$ model. Our calculations consider in the final states: the charmed baryon-(vector/pseudoscalar) meson pairs and the (octet/ decuplet)…
The N*(1440) -> N pi pi decay is studied by making use of the chiral reduction formula. This formula suggests a scalar-isoscalar pion-baryon contact interaction which is absent in the recent study of Hern{\'a}ndez et al. The contact…

The $d^* \to d \pi \pi$ partial decay width has been calculated in a wave-function model for $d^*$ and $d$. It is found to be smaller than a previous estimate by a factor of 7. A previously proposed dependence on dibaryon sizes is…
