The BaBar measurements of the Dalitz plots for B0 -> K+ pi0 pi-, B0 -> K0 pi+ pi-, B+ -> K+ pi+ pi-, B0 -> K+ K0 K-, and B0 -> K0 K0 Kbar0 decays are used to cleanly extract the weak phase gamma. We find four possible solutions:…
A recent study of $D^0 \to \pi^0 K^+ K^-$ and $D^0 \to K_S \pi^+\pi^-$ describes a flavor-symmetric approach to calculate relative amplitudes and phases, for characteristic interferences between $D$ decays to a light pseudoscalar $P$ and a…
We give a simple expression in linear and quadratic Dalitz--plot slopes which does not depend on the charge combination of the $3\pi$ state $(K^\pm \to \pi^{\pm}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ or $\pi^{\pm}\pi^{0}\pi^{0}$ and $K_L^{0} \to…
The $D^+ \to K^-\pi^+\pi+$ decay have been observed in LHCb collaboration with thousands of events per second from $K\pi$ threshold. The theoretical treatment of this decay includes a rich dynamic behaviour that mix weak and strong…
We demonstrate that partial wave amplitudes extracted from $D^+\to K^-\pi^+\pi^+$ Dalitz plot with a unitary coupled-channel model are significantly different from those obtained with an isobar model. The unitary coupled-channel model takes…
We extend the framework of QCD factorization to non-leptonic $B$ decays into three light mesons, taking as an example the decay $B^+ \to \pi^+ \pi^+ \pi^-$. We discuss the factorization properties of this decay in different regions of phase…
The distribution of the $K^\pm\to\pi^\pm\pi^+\pi^-$ decays in the Dalitz plot has been measured by the NA48/2 experiment at the CERN SPS with a sample of $4.71\times 10^8$ fully reconstructed events. With the standard Particle Data Group…
We present a measurement of the unitarity triangle angle phi_3 using a Dalitz plot analysis of the three-body decay of the neutral D meson from the B+- -> D K*+- process. Using a 253 fb-1 data sample collected by the Belle experiment, we…
We report results of measurement of the unitarity triangle angle $\phi_3$ with $B^+\rightarrow D^{(*)}K^+$ Dalitz plot analysis and related issues with $B^0 \rightarrow D_s^{*+} \pi^-$ and $B^0 \rightarrow D_s^{*-} K^+$ decay processes. The…
The BaBar Collaboration has pointed out that $D^0 \to \pi^+ \pi^- \pi^0$ is dominated by an isospin-zero final state, leading to nearly complete depletion of the Dalitz plot along all three diagonals. In flavor-SU(3) approaches to charmed…
The $B^{+}\to D^{+} K^{+} \pi^{-}$ decay is observed in a data sample corresponding to $3.0\,{\rm fb}^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data recorded by the LHCb experiment during 2011 and 2012. The signal significance is $8\,\sigma$ and the…
We present preliminary results of a maximum-likelihood Dalitz-plot analysis of the charmless hadronic B decays to the final states pi pi pi and K pi pi from data corresponding to an integrated on-resonance luminosity of 166 fb^-1 recorded…
The three-body charmless hadronic decay $B^0_s \rightarrow K^{0}_{\rm S} \pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ provides a number of novel possibilities to search for CP violation effects and test the Standard Model of particle physics. These include fits to the…
We describe Dalitz plots arising in studies of $D$-meson decays, and what we have learned from them in recent years. After some mention of technique and history, we focus on decay of the $D^\pm$ and $D_s^\pm$ mesons to the $K^-K^+\pi^\pm$…
We present a new technique to extract information on the Unitarity Triangle from the study of Bs -> K pi pi Dalitz plot. Using isospin symmetry and the possibility to access the decay amplitudes from Dalitz analyses, we propose a new…
We present a new method using Dalitz plot and Bose symmetry of pions that allows the complete determination of the magnitudes and phases of weak decay amplitudes. We apply the method to process like B->K^* pi, with the subsequent decay of…
Two of the most powerful methods currently used to determine the angle $\gamma$ of the CKM Unitarity Triangle exploit $B^+ \to DK^+$, $D \to K_{\rm S}^0\pi^+\pi^-$ decays and $B^0 \to DK^+\pi^-$, $D \to K^+K^-$, $\pi^+\pi^-$ decays. It is…
We present a Dalitz-plot analysis of charmless B+- decays to the final state pi+- pi+- pi-+ using 210 fb^-1 of data recorded by the BABAR experiment at sqrt(s) = 10.58 GeV. We measure the branching fractions B(B+- -> pi+- pi+- pi-+) = (16.2…
A short review of our recent work on amplitude parametrizations of three-body hadronic weak $B$ and $D$ decays is presented. The final states are here composed of three light mesons, namely the various charge $\pi\pi\pi$, $K\pi\pi$ and…
We use a twice-subtracted partial-wave dispersion relation in the elastic unitarity approximation for final-state interactions to study the amplitude for the delta I = 1/2 CP-conserving weak process K+spurion->pi+pi. We use a simple…
