We present a general analysis on charmless B-meson decays $B\to \pi\pi$ and $\pi K$. It is noticed that the final state interactions and inelastic rescattering effects must be significant in order to understand the consistency of the…
It is shown that the existing data on two-body B decays, some of them only upper limits, are precise enough to perform an isospin analysis to extract the phase shifts due to final state interaction. Unlike charm decays, no significant final…
Although two pion decays of $K$, $D$ and $B$ have similar isospin structures, there are dramatic differences in the ratios $R_K$ and $R_{D,B}$ of amplitudes from $\Delta I =3/2$ and $\Delta I =1/2$ interactions. In $K\to \pi\pi$ decays…
Recent experimental results on the color-suppressed nonleptonic decays B^0 -> D^{(*)0} pi^0 provide evidence for a failure of the naive factorization model and for sizeable relative strong-interaction phases between class-1 and class-2 B ->…
Non-factorizable effects on the color-suppressed $B\to D^{(*)}\pi$ decay modes are analyzed. Recent observations of $\Bbar^0\to D^{(*)0}\pi^0$ by Belle and CLEO strongly suggest that there exists a non-zero strong phase difference between…
The first observation of $\bar{B}^0_d\to D^0\bar{K}^0$ and $\bar{B}^0_d\to D^0\bar{K}^{*0}$ transitions by the Belle Collaboration allows us to do a complete isospin analysis of $B\to DK^{(*)}$ decay modes. We find that their respective…
We present new measurements of branching fractions for the color-favored decays B^- --> D^0 pi^- and Bbar^0 --> D^+ pi^-. Using 9.67 x 10^6 BBbar pairs collected with the CLEO detector, we obtain the branching fractions BR(B^- --> D^0 pi^-…
We analyze the decay processes B \to DK, DK^*, D\pi, and D\rho in a model-independent way. Using the quark diagram approach, we determine the magnitudes of the relevant amplitudes and the relative strong phase shifts. In order to find the…
The decay modes of the type $B \rightarrow \pi \, \pi $ are dynamically different. For the case $\bar{B_{d}^0} \rightarrow \, \pi^+ \pi^- $ there is a substantial factorized contribution which dominates. In contrast, the decay mode…
By use of current experimental data, we carry out an isospin analysis of the weak decays $B\rightarrow D\pi, D^{*}\pi$ and $D\rho$. It is found that only in $B\rightarrow D\rho$ the strong phase shift of two different isospin amplitudes can…
The decay modes of the type $B \to \pi \, D $ are dynamically different. For the case $\bar{B_{d}^0} \to \pi^- D^{+} $ there is a substantial factorized contribution which dominates. In contrast, the decay mode $\bar{B_{d}^0} \to \pi^0…
The color-suppressed \bar B^0-> D^{(*)0}\pi^0, D^{(*)0}\eta, D^0\omega decay modes have just been observed for the first time. The rates are all larger than expected, hinting at the presence of final state interactions. Considering \bar…
We have studied the color-suppressed hadronic decays of neutral B mesons into the final states D(*)0 pi0. Using 9.67 million B-pairs collected with the CLEO detector, we observe the decays B0bar -> D0 pi0 and B0bar -> D*0 pi0 with the…
Using 65 million $\Upsilon(4S)\to B\bar{B}$ events collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II $e^{+}e^{-}$ storage ring at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, we measure the color-favored branching fractions ${\cal B}(\bar{B^{0}}…
The large branching ratios for $B \to K\pi$ decays as observed by the CLEO Collaboration indicate that penguin interactions contribute a major part to the decay rates and provide an interference between the Cabibbo-suppressed tree and…
The decay $D\to K^-\pi^+$ is studied in a sample of quantum-correlated $D\bar{D}$ pairs, based on a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.93\,fb$^{-1}$ collected at the $\psi(3770)$ resonance by the BESIII experiment. The…
We show that both the weak phase \beta and the strong phase \delta_d can be determined from the time-dependent measurement of B_d -> D^{*\pm} D^{\mp} decays, whose final states are non-CP eigenstates. It is also possible to extract \beta…
Improved $B$ meson decay data have permitted more incisive tests of factorization predictions. A concurrent benefit is the ability to constrain the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element $|V_{cb}|$. Using a simultaneous fit to…
The recent measurements of the color-suppressed modes $\bar B^0\to D^{(*)0}\pi^0$ imply non-vanishing relative final-state interaction (FSI) phases among various $\bar B\to D\pi$ decay amplitudes. Depending on whether or not FSIs are…
We analyse the $B \to K\pi$ decays using the factorisation model with final state interaction phase shift included. We find that factorisation seems to describe qualitatively the latest CLEO data. For a test of the factorisation model, we…
