We study possible contributions to the Ds^+ -> omega pi^+ and Ds^+ -> rho^0 pi^+ decay amplitudes. The Ds^+ -> omega pi^+ decay amplitude vanishes when the naive factorization is used, while the Ds^+ -> rho^0 pi^+ decay amplitude arises due…
We investigate the decay mechanisms in the Ds+ --> omega pi+ and Ds+ --> rho0 pi+ transitions. The naive factorization ansatz predicts vanishing amplitude for the Ds+ --> omega pi+ decay, while the Ds+ --> rho0 pi+ decay amplitude does have…
We report on a study of the decay B0bar -> D*+ omega pi- with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II B-factory at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. Based on a sample of 232 million BBbar decays, we measure the branching fraction BF(B0bar ->…
We describe the $\pi\pi$ $S$-wave in $D^+ \to\pi^+ \pi^- \pi^+$ decays using a unitary model for the $\pi\pi$ Final State Interactions (FSI). The three body decay is treated as a quasi two-body process where, at the weak vertex, the D meson…
The decays B -> D^{**} pi, where D^{**} is a narrow p-wave charm resonance, are investigated in the context of a generalized factorization hypothesis, including the leading nonfactorizable corrections. The decay rates for these processes…
Using e+e- annihilation data collected by the CLEO~II detector at CESR, we have observed the decay Ds+ to omega pi+. This final state may be produced through the annihilation decay of the Ds+, or through final state interactions. We find a…
The recently-observed decay $B^0 \to D_s^+ \pi^-$ is expected to proceed mainly by means of a tree amplitude in the factorization limit: $B^0 \to \pi^- {(W^+)}^*$, ${(W^+)}^* \to D_s^+$. Under this assumption, we predict the corresponding…
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…
We report on the observation of B->D{*}pi+pi-pi-pio decays. The branching ratios for D*+ and D*o are (1.72+/-0.14+/-0.24)% and (1.80+/-0.24+/-0.25)%, respectively. Each final state has a D{*} omega pi- component, with branching ratios…
We analyse the consequences of the usual assumption of a constant function to fit non-resonant decays from experimental Dalitz plot describing charmed meson decays. We first show, using the $D^+\to \bar{K}^0\pi^+\pi^0$ decay channel as an…
The contribution of a $K^*(1430)$ $0^+$ resonance to $D^0\to K^-\pi^+$ is calculated by applying the soft pion theorem to $D^+ \to K^* \pi^+$, and is found to be about 30% of the measured amplitude and to be larger than the $\Delta I=3/2$…
We propose a phenomenological three component model describing the decay amplitude of the process $D_{s}^{+} \ra 3\pi$. The first component is a constant background, the second one is a Breit-Wigner amplitude associated to a quasi two-body…
We report on the observation of B-> D(*) pi+ pi- pi- pi^o decays. The branching ratios for D*+ and D*o are (1.72+/-0.14+/-0.24)% and (1.80+/-0.24+/-0.27)%, respectively. Each final state has a D* omega pi- component, with branching ratios…
The decay process $B\to D^+ D^- \pi^0$ is an interesting channel for the investigation of CP violating effects in the $b-$ sector. We write down a decay amplitude constrained by a low-energy theorem, which also includes the contribution of…
We calculate the width for the omega -> pi pi decay in nuclear matter in a hadronic model including mesons, nucleons and Delta isobars. We find a substantial width of the longitudinally polarized omega modes, reaching ~100MeV for mesons…
Resonant contributions in $B^0 \rightarrow \overline{D}^0 D^+_s\pi^-$ and $B^+\rightarrow D^- D^+_s\pi^+$ decays are determined with an amplitude analysis, which is performed both separately and simultaneously, where in the latter case…
A Dalitz plot analysis of the $D_s^+ \to \pi^- \pi^+ \pi^+$ decay is presented. The analysis is based on proton-proton collision data recorded by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of $8$ TeV and corresponding to an integrated…
Pion emitting decays and radiative ones of D^{*+,0} and D_s^{*+} are studied. As the result, the full-width of D^{*0} is predicted, by assuming the isospin symmetry. In addition, the isospin non-conserving D_s^{*+} --> D_s^+ pi^0 decay is…
We discuss various tests of the factorization hypothesis making use of the close relationship between semi-leptonic and factorized nonleptonic decay amplitudes. It is pointed out that factorization leads to truely model-independent…
The decays D^* -> D\pi and D^* -> D\gamma are well described by heavy meson chiral perturbation theory. With the recent measurement of Br(D^{*+} -> D^+ \gamma), the D^{*0}, D^{*+}, and D_s^* branching fractions can be used to extract the…
