The space-like penguin contributions to branching ratios and CP asymmetries in charmless decays of $B$ to two pseudoscalar mesons are studied using the next-to-leading order low energy effective Hamiltonian. Both the gluonic penguin and the…
Charmless $B$ decays are dominated by contributions from the short distance amplitudes from tree level and penguin loop-level amplitudes. The Tree contribution presents a weak phase $\gamma$. The relationship between these two amplitudes…
A global previous analysis of two-body nonleptonic decays of $D$ mesons has been extended to the decays involving light scalar mesons. The allowance for final state interaction also in nonresonant channels provides a fit of much improved…
Several $B$ and $B_s$ decays have been observed which have been cited as evidence for exchange ($E$), penguin annihilation ($PA$) and annihilation ($A$) processes, such as $\bar b d \to \bar u u$, $\bar b s \to \bar u u$ and $\bar b u \to…
The measurement of the exclusive light hadron decays of the psi'' in e+e- experiments with significant interference between the psi'' and non-resonance continuum amplitudes is discussed. The radiative correction and the Monte Carlo…
We report on a search for the charmless decays $B^{+} \to\phi\pi^{+}$ and $B^{0} \to\phi \pi^{0}$ that are strongly suppressed in the Standard Model. The analysis is based on a data sample of $657 \times 10^6$ $B \bar{B}$ pairs collected at…
The strong-phase differences between $D^0\to K_{S/L}^0\pi^+\pi^-$ and $\bar{D}^0\to K_{S/L}^0\pi^+\pi^-$ decays are one of the most important inputs in measuring the $C\!P$ violating angle $\gamma$ via $B^- \to D K^-$ decays. They also play…
The charm quark offers interesting opportunities to cross-check the mechanism of CP violation precisely tested in the strange and beauty sectors. In this paper, we exploit the angular and quantum correlations in the D\bar{D} pairs produced…
We search for charmless decays of charged B mesons to the three-body final state K_S^0 K_S^0 pi+. Using a data sample of 423.7 fb^-1 collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector, corresponding to (465.1 +- 5.1)X10^6 BB-bar…
In recent studies of inclusive $B$ decays, it has been suggested that either $B$ mesons decay much more copiously to final states with no open charm than currently assumed, or $B(D^0 \to K^-\pi^+)$ has to be reduced significantly. This note…
Results are reported based on samples of 58 million $\jpsi$ and 14 million $\psip$ decays obtained by the BESII experiment. Improved branching fraction measurements are determined, including branching fractions for $\jpsi\to\ppp$, $\psip\ra…
Our exploratory study looks for direct access to the resonant hadronic transition amplitude without resorting to the L\"uscher formalism. We study the decay $\Psi(3770)\to\bar{D}D$ by applying partially twisted boundary conditions to the…
The decays $B_d^0\rightarrow D_d^-D_d^+$ and $B_s^0\rightarrow D_s^-D_s^+$ probe the CP-violating mixing phases $\phi_d$ and $\phi_s$, respectively. The theoretical uncertainty of the corresponding determinations is limited by contributions…
Non-leptonic charm decays provide insights into both electro-weak and strong dynamics. This includes the study of long-distance hadronic effects, the approximate symmetries of strong interactions, and precision tests of the Standard Model.…

Pion emitting decays and radiative ones of D^{*+,0} and D_s^{*+} are studied. As the result, the full-width of D^{*0} is predicted, by assuming the isospin symmetry. In addition, the isospin non-conserving D_s^{*+} --> D_s^+ pi^0 decay is…
In these proceedings some facts about resonances are discussed focussing on the analytic properties of resonant amplitudes with special emphasis on model independent analyses. As an illustrative example of the latter point the decays B and…
