The hadronic decays $B\to J/\psi K(K^*)$ are interesting because experimentally they are the only color-suppressed modes which have been measured, and theoretically they are calculable by QCD factorization even the emitted meson $J\psi$ is…
The FNAL experiment E773 has measured the phases Phi_{+-} = (43.35 +- 0.70 +- 0.79) degree and Phi_{00}-Phi_{+-} = (0.67 +- 0.85 +- 1.1) degree of the CP violating parameters eta_{+-} and eta_{00} in the decay of neutral kaons into two…

The B-meson system is an interesting probe for the exploration of strong interactions, the quark-flavour sector of the Standard Model, and the search for new physics. In this programme, non-leptonic B decays, which are particularly…
Scattering and formation experiments can be performed not only with particle beams, but also, as of old, with particle sources. DA\PhiNE at the c.m. energy of the \phi is a relatively clean source of low-momentum charged and neutral kaons.…
In this paper we discuss the recent finalized analyses by the KLOE experiment at DA$\Phi$NE: the CPT and Lorentz invariance test with entangled $K^0 \bar{K}^0$ pairs, and the precision measurement of the branching fraction of the decay ${…
We discuss the problem of theoretical uncertainties in the combination of observables related to the CKM matrix elements and propose a statistically sensible method for combining them. The overall fit is performed on present data, and…

In this paper, we present a preliminary study of $CP$ violation effect of $K^{0}-\bar{K}^{0}$ system in $J/\psi$ decay. The $CP$ violation parameters $\eta_{+-}$ and $\eta_{00}$ as well as their corresponding phase $\phi_{+-}$ and…
The final state interactions of pions in decays $K^\pm\to\pi^\pm\pi^0\pi^0$ are considered using the methods of quantum mechanics. We show how to incorporate the electromagnetic effects in the amplitudes of these decays and to work out the…
I briefly review CP violation in the B system, concentrating on B -> pi K decays. I discuss how to deal with electroweak-penguin contributions to these decays using flavour SU(3). With these, I show that the entire unitarity triangle can be…
The study of deeply bound kaon states is usually carried out or proposed using $K^-$ or $\pi^+$ beams with fixed nuclear target or proton proton interactions or, more recently, heavy ion collisions. The extension of the measurements to…
