The weak radiative Cabibbo allowed decays D^+ -> anti K^0 pi^+ gamma and D^0 -> K^- pi^+ gamma with nonresonant K pi are investigated by relying on the factorization approximation for the nonleptonic weak transitions and the model which…
We study the possible distortion of phase-space in the decays $K \to \pi \pi \pi$, which may result from final state interference among the decay products. Such distortion may influence the values of slope parameters extracted from the…
Using a low-background sample of $2.6\times 10^5$ $J/\psi\rightarrow\omega\eta(\omega\rightarrow\pi^{+}\pi^{-}\pi^{0},\eta\rightarrow\gamma\gamma)$ events, about 5 times larger statistics than previous experiments, we present a Dalitz plot…

We discuss the importance of inelasticity in the P-wave pi pi amplitude on the Dalitz distribution of 3pi events in J/psi decay. The inelasticity, which becomes sizable for pi pi masses above 1.4 GeV, is attributed to KK to pi pi…
Dalitz plot distribution of the $\eta\to\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$ decay is determined using a data sample of $1.2\cdot 10^7$ $\eta$ mesons from $pd\to ^3\textrm{He}\eta$ reaction at 1 GeV collected by the WASA detector at COSY.
The processes $D^0\to K^0 K^-\pi^+$ and $D^0\to\ok K^+\pi^-$ involve intermediate vector resonances whose amplitudes and phases are related to each other via flavor-SU(3) symmetry. Dalitz plots for these two processes can shed light on the…

Extending the dynamics underlying the factorization calculation of two-body decays, we propose simple selection rules for nonresonant three-body B decays. We predict, for instance, that in the Dalitz plot of B^0-->D^0-bar\pi^+\pi^-,…

In view of the recent high-statistic KLOE data for the $\eta \to \pi^+ \pi^- \pi^0$ decay, a new determination of the quark mass double ratio has been done. Our approach relies on a dispersive model that takes into account rescattering…
The dispersive analysis of the decay $\eta\to3\pi$ is reviewed and thoroughly updated with the aim of determining the quark mass ratio ~$Q^2=(m_s^2-m_{ud}^2)/(m_d^2-m_u^2)$. With the number of subtractions we are using, the effects…
