The first amplitude analysis of the decay $D_s^+\to K^-K^+\pi^+\pi^0$ is presented using the data samples, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 6.32 fb$^{-1}$, collected with the BESIII detector at $e^+e^-$ center-of-mass energies…
A combined analysis of data on isoscalar S-wave processes $\pi\pi\to\pi\pi,K\overline{K},\eta\eta$ and on decays $J/\psi\to\phi\pi\pi,\phi K\overline{K}$ from the DM2, Mark III and BESIII collaborations is performed to study $f_0$ mesons.…
We propose a parametrization for two-body nonleptonic $B$ meson decays, in which the various topologies of amplitudes are counted in terms of powers of the Wolfenstein parameter $\lambda\sim 0.22$. The weak phases and the amplitudes are…
A self-consistent analysis of K --> 2pi and K --> 3pi decays within a unique framework of chiral dynamics applied to the QCD-corrected weak nonleptonic quark lagrangian has been performed. The results on K --> 2pi amplitudes at O(p^6),…
We investigate the K1--> K pi pi strong interaction decays. Using the 3P0 quark-pair-creation model to derive the basic parametrization, we discuss in detail how to obtain the various partial wave amplitudes into the possible quasi-two-body…
A method is proposed to measure the photon polarisation parameter $\lambda_\gamma$ in $b\to s\gamma$ transitions using an amplitude analysis of $B\to K\pi\pi\gamma$ decays. Simplified models of the $K\pi\pi$ i system are used to simulate…
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 reanalyze the decay $B_d\to\pi^+\pi^-$ without assuming dominance of QCD penguins with internal top-quark exchanges. In that case the weak phase of the $\bar b \to\bar d$ QCD penguin amplitude is not related in a simple way to the CKM…
We study a new $K\rightarrow\pi\pi$ decay channel with gluons in intermediate state which is normally neglected within the factorization framework. Both short-distance and long-distance parts of the amplitude are calculated. The chiral…
The final state interaction contribution to $D^+$ decays is computed for the $K^-\pi^+\pi^+$ channel within a light-front relativistic three-body model for the final state interaction. The rescattering process between the kaon and two pions…
Combining the up-to-date experimental information on $B\to\pi K, \pi K^{\ast}$ and $\rho K$ decays, we revisit the decay rates and CP asymmetries of these decays within the framework of QCD factorization. Using an infrared finite gluon…
We suggest that decay properties (branching ratios) of hadronic resonances may become modified in strong external magnetic field. The behavior of $K^{\pm *}\!$, $K^{0*}$ vector mesons as well as $\Lambda^*(1520)$ and $\Xi^{0*}$ baryonic…
Phases of elements of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix, as obtained using decays of $B$ mesons to $\pi^+ \pi^-$, $\pi^\pm K^\mp$, and $\pi^+ K^0$ or $\pi^- \overline{K}^0$, are shown to have a class of discrete ambiguities. In…
We calculate the amplitude of the rare flavour-changing neutral-current decay $B\to \pi\ell^+\ell^-$ at large recoil of the pion. The nonlocal contributions in which the weak effective operators are combined with the electromagnetic…
A c.m. energy scan below the J/Psi peak foreseen in the next future at BESIII can probe the existence in all the exclusive possible final states of an interference pattern between the resonant e+e- => J/Psi => hadrons and non-resonant e+e+…
Exploiting $B$-meson decays for Standard Model tests and beyond requires a precise understanding of the strong final-state interactions that can be provided model-independently by means of dispersion theory. This formalism allows one to…
In many lattice simulations with dynamical quarks, radial or orbital excitations of hadrons lie near multihadron thresholds: it makes the extraction of excited states properties more challenging and can introduce some systematics difficult…
The phase variation with angle of hadronic amplitudes is studied with a view to understanding the underlying physical quantities which control it and how well it can be determined in free space. We find that unitarity forces a moderately…

The B-meson system is an interesting probe for the exploration of strong interactions, the quark-flavour sector of the Standard Model, and the search for new physics. In this programme, non-leptonic B decays, which are particularly…
