Time-dependent CP asymmetry measurements in $D\to h^+h^-$ decays, where $h=\pi$ or $\rho$ can be used to constrain the angle $\beta_c$ of the $cu$ unitarity triangle up to theoretical uncertainties. Here we discuss the theoretical…

We reevaluate the $B\to\rho\,l^+\nu_l$ decay width as a full $B\to\pi\pi\,l^+\nu_l$ four-particle decay, in which the two final pions are produced via an intermediate $\rho$ meson. The decay width can be written as a convolution of the…

We study direct CP violation in $B^\pm \to \rho^\pm\rho^0(\omega) \to \rho^\pm\pi^+\pi^-$ and focus specifically on the rate asymmetry in the $\rho^0$-$\omega$ interference region. Here the strong phase is dominated by isospin violation, so…

Isospin and flavor SU(3) set stringent bounds on penguin pollution in $B^0(t)\to \rho^+\rho^-$, providing a theoretically precise determination of $\alpha\equiv \phi_2 $, $\alpha = (91\pm 7_{\rm exp}\pm 3_{\rm th})^\circ$. Isospin breaking…

We suggest to analyze the three-body decays B+- to $K+- p pbar$ and to $K+- \pi \pi$ by means of two different asymmetries. The former asymmetry, a T-odd one, vanishes and is proposed as a test for excluding biases in the experimental data.…

We present preliminary measurements of direct and indirect CP-violating asymmetries in the decays of neutral B mesons to pi+pi-pi0 and K+-pi-+pi0 final states dominated by the rho+- resonance, using a time-dependent maximum likelihood…

In this paper we perform an amplitude analysis of $\eta'\to\pi^+\pi^-\gamma$ and confront it with the latest BESIII data. Based on the final-state interaction theorem, we represent the amplitude in terms of an Omn\'es function multiplied by…

We present a bound on the weak phase $\alpha$ from isospin-breaking effects in weak radiative decays, which requires the CP-averaged branching ratios for the weak radiative decays $B^\pm\to \rho^\pm \gamma$, $B^0\to \rho^0/\omega \gamma$,…

Based on a sample of 227 million BBbar pairs collected by the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC, we measure the branching fraction B(B0 -> pi0pi0) = (1.17 +- 0.32 +- 0.10) x 1e-6, and the asymmetry C(pi0pi0) =…

Taking into account the recent measurements of the branching ratios and CP asymmetries in the $B \to \pi\pi$ decays by the BABAR and BELLE collaborations, an amplitude analysis based on the isospin symmetry is reported. These data allow to…

We study the isospin asymmetry as an observable in exclusive B -> K* gamma decay that can be used to study the effects of physics beyond the Standard Model. We present predictions for isospin asymmetry in Supersymmetric extension of the…

We study the implications of several recent high-precision measurements of the pion form factor in the region of the rho-omega interference "shoulder" for (i) the extraction of the rho-omega mixing matrix element, Pi_{\rho\omega}(m_rho^2),…

We discuss the isospin symmetry breaking quantity \Delta^{\pm 0} = \Gamma(B^\pm -> \rho^\pm \gamma)/[2 \Gamma(B^0 -> \rho^0 \gamma)] - 1, and the direct CP violation in B^\pm -> \rho^\pm \gamma within and beyond the standard model. After…

We present a measurement of the CP-violating asymmetry in rho+rho- decays using 535 million BBbar pairs collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- collider. We measure CP-violating coefficients A = 0.16 +- 0.21(stat) +- 0.07 (syst)…

Recent results include the measurement of B->D(*)pi+pi-pi-pi0 decays, with rates of ~1.8% observation of a significant omega pi^- substructure that appears to result from the decay of the rho' resonance, whose mass and width we determine as…

We argue that one can search for physics beyond the standard model through measurements of the isospin-violating quantity $\Delta^{-0} \equiv \Gamma(B^- \to \rho^- \gamma)/2\Gamma(B^0 \to \rho^0 \gamma)-1$, its charge conjugate…

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…

The physical state of $\rho$-$\omega$-$\phi$ mesons can be mixed by the unitary matrix. The decay processes of $\omega \rightarrow \pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ and $\phi \rightarrow \pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ are from the isospin symmetry breaking. The…
