The significance of final-state interactions in B_d-->\pi\pi decays is phenomenologically demonstrated by taking elastic \pi\pi--\pi\pi and inelastic \pi\pi--D\bar{D} rescattering effects into consideration. We find that the present…
Using the unitarity, SU(2) and $C$-invariance of hadronic interactions, the bounds on final state phases are derived. It is shown that values obtained for the final state phases relevant for the direct CP-asymmetries $A_{CP}(B^{0}\to…
The final-state phases in $\bar{B} \to D \pi, D^* \pi$, and $D \rho$ decays appear to follow a pattern similar to those in $D \to \bar{K} \pi$, $\bar{K}^* \pi$, and $\bar{K} \rho$ decays. Each set of processes is characterized by three…
The decays \bar{B}-> \bar{K}D and \bar{B}-> \bar{K}\bar{D} taking into account final state interactions are discussed. These decays are described by four strong phases \delta_0,\delta_1,\bar{\delta}_0,\bar{\delta}_1 (subscripts 0 and 1…
A search for CP violation in the phase-space structures of D0 and D0bar decays to the final states K-K+pi-pi+ and pi-pi+pi+pi- is presented. The search is carried out with a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0fb^-1…
The color-suppressed \bar B^0-> D^{(*)0}\pi^0, D^{(*)0}\eta, D^0\omega decay modes have just been observed for the first time. The rates are all larger than expected, hinting at the presence of final state interactions. Considering \bar…
We analyse $D$ decays to two pseudoscalars $(\pi,K)$ assuming the dominant source of $\mathrm{SU}(3)_F$ breaking lies in final state interactions. We obtain an excellent agreement with experimental data and are able to predict CP violation…
We give a brief review of direct $CP$ violation effects in charmless $B$ decays, both at the inclusive and at the exclusive level. It is emphasized that typical exclusive final states are composed of 2--4 $K$ or $\pi$'s, hence particle…
The recent experimental results of CP violation in Bs decays other than in the J/psi phi final state are discussed. Included are the resonant components and $\phi_s$ determination in Bs -> J/psi pi+ pi-, CP asymmetries in Bs -> h+ h'-…
The study of local \cp \ asymmetry in Dalitz plots of charm (& beauty) decays gives us more information about the underlying dynamics than the ratio between total rates. In this paper we explore the consequences of the constraint from \cpt…
Direct CP violation in the hadronic decays $\Bar{B}^{0} \to \pi^{+}\pi^{-} \pi^{0}$ is investigated near the peak of the $\rho^{0}$ taking into account the effect of $\rho - \omega$ mixing. Branching ratios for processes $B^{\pm,0} \to…
In the study of CP violation signals in ${\O}\to\pi\Xi$ nonleptonic decays, the strong $J$=3/2 $P$ and $D$ phase shifts for the $\pi\Xi$ final-state interactions are needed. These phases are calculated using an effective Lagrangian model,…
We consider the interference of resonant amplitudes leading to the final state $K_S \pi^+ \pi^-$ in $D^0/\bar {D^0}$ decays. Each of these amplitudes consists of both Cabibbo allowed and doubly Cabibbo suppressed transitions. The role of…
We (re)examine CP violation in the decays B_d -> D K_s, where D represents D^0, D(bar), or one of their excited states. The quantity $\sin^2(2\beta + \gamma)$ can be extracted from the time-dependent rates for $B_d(t) -> {\bar D}^{**0} K_s$…
Assuming SU(3) symmetry for the strong phases in the four decay modes $B\rarrow \pi^-\pi^+, \pi^0 \pi^+, \pi^- K^+, \pi^- \bar{K}^0$ and ignoring the relative small electroweak penguin effects in those decays, the weak phase $\gamma$ and…
The newly observed $\bar B^0 \to \bar K^0\pi^0$ mode is quite sizable while $\pi^-\pi^+$ is rather small. Data also hint at $\pi^-\pi^0 \gtrsim \pi^-\pi^+$. Though consistent with zero, central values of CP violating asymmetries in…
The recent observation of B^0_d->\pi^0\pi^0 and \bar{B}^0_d->\pi^0\pi^0 decay modes allows us to make a fresh isospin analysis of B->\pi\pi transitions. We find that current experimental data can impose some model-independent constraints on…
We review $CP$-violating observables in flavor tagged and untagged $D^0 \rightarrow K^{-}\pi^{+}$ decays and evaluate the $CP$ asymmetry difference between the two decays. We note that this commonly neglected difference is not zero in…
Isospin analysis has been used to constrain the CP-asymmetries in B -> pi pi decays. In particular correlation between a weak phase \theta and a strong phase \delta is obtained. Further using the experimental values for the CP-average…
We show that, besides the usual short distance contribution for CP violation, final state interactions together with CPT invariance can play an important role in the recent observation of CP violation in three-body charmless $B^\pm$ decays.…
