Hadronic phase in $\pi \pi$ and $K \bar K$ channels are calculated a la Regge. At the D mass one finds $\delta_{\pi \pi} \approx \pi/3$ and $\delta_{K \bar K} \approx -\pi/6$ in good agreement with the CLEO data while at the B mass these…

Nonleptonic decays B to D pi- or B to D* pi- are dominated by factorizable contributions. In the heavy quark limit, nonfactorizable contribution arises from strong radiative correction and power corrections in 1/m_b. I calculate the decay…

We have investimated the effect of the isospin 1/2, J^P = 0^+ resonant state K^*_0(1950) on the decays D^0 ->\bar{K}^{0}\eta and D^0 ->\bar{K}^0 \eta' as a function of the branching ratio sum r =Br(K^*_0(1950)->\bar{K}^0\eta)+…
