An analytic result for the O(alpha_s corrections to the triple differential B -> X_u l nu decay rate is presented, to leading order in the heavy-quark expansion. This is relevant for computing partially integrated decay distributions with…

A preliminary measurement of the branching fraction of the tau- -> 3h-2h+nu decay (h= pi, K$) with the BaBar detector is found to be {8.52 +/- 0.09 +/- 0.40} x 10E-4, where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic. The…

First observations of the B_s0->D_s*- pi+, B_s0->D_s- rho+ and B_s0->D_s*- rho+ decays are reported together with measurements of their branching fractions: B(B_s0->D_s*- pi+)=(2.4 +0.5-0.4(stat.) +-0.3(syst.) +-0.4(fs))x10^(-3), B(Bs->D_s-…

We develop an ansatze of the sigma enhancement of the I=0, L=0 $\pi$-$\pi$ scattering amplitude as arising from a low-energy glueball pole. Using this picture we estimate the $\pi^0\pi^0$ to $\pi^0$ branching ratio for the decays of the…

We consider $B^{\pm,0} \to \rho^0(\omega)h^{\pm,0}$, where $\rho^0(\omega)$ decays to $\pi^+\pi^-$ and $h$ is any hadronic final state, such as $\pi$ or $K$. We find a large direct CP asymmetry in B-meson decays via $\rho \omega$…

A correct understanding and description of the I=2 pi-pi S-wave interaction is important for the extraction of the I=0 pi-pi S-wave interaction from experimental data and for understanding the I=0 pi-pi S-wave interaction theoretically.…

We review recent progress in the perturbative calculations for semileptonic and hadronic B meson decays with an emphasis on the phenomenological implications of the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) corrections. Specifically, we consider…

In terms of effective field theory and mixed propagator approach, we show that there is a larger hidden effect of isospin breaking in $\rho^0\to\pi^0\gamma$ decay due to an $\omega$ exchange, $\rho^0\to\omega\to\pi^0\gamma$. The branching…

Hadronic radiation provides a tool to distinguish different topologies of colour flow in hard scattering processes. We study the structure of hadronic flow corresponding to Higgs production and decay in high-energy hadron-hadron collisions.…
