In the framework of the relativistic and gauge invariant spectral integral technique, we calculate radiative decays rho(770)-> gamma pi(140) and omega(780)-> gamma pi(140) supposing all mesons (pi, rho and omega) to be quark-antiquark…
Recent results on rho(770)^0, K(892)^*0, f_0(980), phi(1020), Delta(1232)^++, and Lambda(1520) production in A+A and p+p collisions at SPS and RHIC energies are presented. These resonances are measured via their hadronic decay channels and…
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…
We present results from an analysis of B0->rho+rho- using 316fb^-1 of Y(4S) -> B0B0bar decays observed with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC. We measure the B0->rho+rho- branching fraction, longitudinal…
We study exclusive B decays to final states containing a charmed baryon within the pole model framework. Since the strong coupling for $\Lambda_b\bar B N$ is larger than that for $\Sigma_b \bar BN$, the two-body charmful decay…
We report recent measurements of the CKM angle alpha using data collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e+e- collider at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. In addition to improved constraints on alpha from the…
The importance of resonances for the radiative hyperon decays is examined in the framework of chiral perturbation theory. Low lying baryon resonances are included into the effective theory and tree contributions to these decays are…
It is shown that the study of the \omega-\rho interference pattern in the J/psi -> (rho+omega)eta -> pi+pi-eta decay provides evidence for the large (nearly 90 degrees) relative phase between the isovector one-photon and three-gluon decay…
Defining a most economical parametrization of time-dependent B-> rho^\pm pi^\mp decays, including a measurable phase alpha_{eff} which equals the weak phase alpha in the limit of vanishing penguin amplitudes, we propose two ways for…
The experimental results obtained in the last few years on kaon decays (K$\to2\pi$ and, above all, Ke4 decays) allow a reliable, model independent determination of low energy $\pi\pi$ scattering in the S0 wave. Using them and, eventually,…
It is shown that in the decays $B_c(2P)\to B_c^* \gamma^\mathrm{hard}$, $B_c(3P)\to B_c^* \gamma^\mathrm{hard}$ and $B_c(2S)\to B_c^* +\pi^+\pi^-$ followed by the decay $B_c^*\to B_c +\gamma^\mathrm{soft}$ the loss of the soft photon…
Using the perturbative QCD approach, we studied the effects from hadronic structure of photon on the pure annihilation rediative decays $B\to\phi\gamma$ and $B_s\to(\rho^0,\omega)\gamma$. These decays have small branching fractions due to…
Influence of the isospin-violating (\rho^0, \omega)-mixing is discussed for any pair of decays of \rho^0, \omega into the same final state. It is demonstrated, in analogy to the CP-violation in neutral kaon decays, that isospin violation…
Measurements of the rates for the hadronic decays B^+- -> pi K along with the CP-averaged B^+- -> pi^+- pi^0 branching ratio can be used to bound and extract the weak phase gamma=-arg(V_ub). Using preliminary CLEO data, we obtain the bounds…
Using data accumulated with the CLEO detector corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.63 pb^-1 on the peak of the psi(2S) and 20.70 pb^-1 continuum at 3.67 GeV, we report first measurements of the branching fractions for the…
The decays of $N^*$ and $\Delta^*$ resonances into $N\rho$, $\Delta\pi$ and $N\sigma$ final states are studied in a coupled-channel analysis of data on pion- and photo-induced reactions. Improvements in the fit were observed when new…
We present recent measurements of the unitarity triangle angle phi2(alpha) using B -> pi pi, B -> rho rho, and B -> rho pi decays. The measurements are based on data samples collected with the Belle and BaBar detectors at the KEKB and…
We introduce a new time-dependent lepto-hadronic model for blazar emission that takes into account the radiation emitted by secondary particles, such as pions and muons, from photo hadronic interactions. Starting from a baseline parameter…

The isospin-breaking decay eta {\to} 3pi is an ideal tool to extract information on light quark mass ratios from experiment. For a precise determination, however, a detailed description of the Dalitz plot distribution is necessary. In that…
