In this paper the three-loop polarization functions \Pi(q^2) are calculated for the cases of an external vector, axial-vector, scalar or pseudo-scalar current. Results are presented for the imaginary part which directly leads to the cross…
It is argued that, in the presence of soft final-state interactions, the diagrammatic amplitude approach adopted in many analyses of hadronic B decays into light mesons can be misleading when used to deduce the unimportance of certain decay…
Hadronic $\tau$ decays present an opportunity to determine the isovector part of the hadronic-vacuum-polarization contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon in a way complementary to $e^+e^-\to\text{hadrons}$ cross sections.…
We investigate the exclusive B -> pi e^+ e^- and B -> rho e^+ e^- decays in framework of the general two Higgs doublet model (model III), in which an extra phase angle in the charged--Higgs fermion coupling, i.e., a new source for CP…
Exclusive and kinematically complete high-statistics measurements of the basic double pionic fusion reactions pn -> dpi0pi0, pn -> d pi+pi- and pp -> dpi+pi0 have been carried out simultaneously over the energy region of the ABC effect…
We present an isospin analysis of the decay modes B\to D\bar{D}, D^*\bar{D}, D\bar{D}^* and D^*\bar{D}^*, which allows determination of the final-state interaction phases. As these transitions have branching ratios of the order 10^{-4} or…

In this paper the dynamical spin effects of the light-front holographic wavefunctions for light pseudoscalar mesons are studied using two different assumptions. These improved wavefunctions are then confronted with a number of sensitive…
We report on a search for charmless hadronic B decays to the three-body final states, K0S h+ pi-, K+ h- pi0, K0S h+ pi0 (h+- denotes a charged pion or kaon), and their charge conjugates, using 13.5 fb^{-1} of integrated luminosity produced…
We present preliminary measurements of branching fractions and CP-asymmetry parameters in two- and three-body charmless hadronic B decays. The available data sample consists of 227 million Upsilon(4S) B decays collected with the BABAR…
We develop a model-independent analysis of hadronic scattering data in the resonance region, where the resonance shape follows from the matrix elements of a Hamiltonian. We investigate the rho meson in the tau decay. We demonstrate that the…
The first full amplitude analysis of $B^+ \to \psi(2S) K^+ \pi^+ \pi^-$ decays is performed using proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $9\,\text{fb}^{-1}$ recorded with the LHCb detector. The rich $K^+…
Two-photon decays of rho and omega mesons and strong decays rho -> eta pi and omega -> pi pi are described in the quark Nambu-Jona-Lasinio(NJL) model in dense medium. Decays of rho-meson are especially interesting because they contain…
I give an overview of the theory of hadronic nonleptonic B decays into two light mesons. Using the soft-collinear effective theory (SCET), a factorization theorem for these processes has been proven to leading order in 1/mb. The…
The study of radiative phi decays into scalar mesons, with subsequent decay into pi pi gamma, constitutes an important topic at the electron-positron collider DAPHNE. The interference of the respective amplitude with the one for pi+ pi-…

In this talk I discuss three different methods, using B_d to J/psi K_S, J/psi K_s pi^o, B_d to K^- pi^+, pi^+ pi^- and B_u to K^- pi^0, bar K^0 pi^- pi^- pi^0, to extract hadronic model independent information about new physics.
