We calculate the branching ratios and CP asymmetries for $B^0 \to \pi^+\rho^-$, $B^0 \to \rho^+\pi^-$, $B^+ \to \rho^+\pi^0$, $B^+ \to \pi^+\rho^0$, $B^0 \to \pi^0\rho^0$, $B^+ \to \pi^+\omega$ and $B^0 \to \pi^0\omega$ decays, in a…

We present preliminary measurements of direct and indirect CP-violating asymmetries in the decays of neutral B mesons to pi+pi-pi0 and K+-pi-+pi0 final states dominated by the rho+- resonance, using a time-dependent maximum likelihood…

We present a study of the decays B0 -> D0 K*0 and B0 -> barD0 K*0 with K*0 -> K+pi-. The D0 and the barD0 mesons are reconstructed in the final states f=K+pi-, K+pi-pi0, K+pi-pi+pi- and their charge conjugates. Using a sample of 465 million…

We study the role played by the final-state interactions (fsi) in heavy quark decays using Pomeron and Regge exchanges to describe high energy scattering. At center of mass energy $\sqrt{s}\sim 5GeV $, Pomeron dominance does not apply. We…

We consider the forward-backward pion charge asymmetry for the e^{+}e^{-}\to\pi^{+}\pi^{-}\gamma process. At tree level we consider bremsstrahlung and double resonance contributions. Although the latter contribution is formally sub-leading,…

We describe the interference between amplitudes $e^ + e^-\to\rho\to\gamma\pi^+\pi^-$ and $e^ + e^-\to\phi\to\gamma (f_0 + \sigma) \to\gamma\pi^ + \pi^-$, with regard to the phase of the elastic $\pi\pi$ scattering background and mixing of…

The decay chain b -> Bbar -> D^{**0} l nu X, D^{**0} -> D^{*+} pi^-, D^{*+} -> D^0 pi^+, D^0 ->(Kpi or K3pi) is identified in a sample of 3.9 million hadronic Z decays collected with the OPAL detector at LEP. The branching ratio BR (b ->…

A correct understanding and description of the I=2 pi-pi S-wave interaction is important for the extraction of the I=0 pi-pi S-wave interaction from experimental data and for understanding the I=0 pi-pi S-wave interaction theoretically.…

We present results of searches for B-meson decays to K+ pi- pi+ with the BaBar detector. With a data sample of 61.6 million BBbar pairs, we measure the branching fractions and 90% confidence-level upper limits averaged over charge-conjugate…

We study final-state interactions in nonleptonic weak decays in statistical models by averaging over ensembles of strong interaction S-matrices. The models range from one with completely random strong interactions, which gives extensive…

We provide a new estimate of the long-distance component to the radiative transition $B \to \rho \gamma$. Our mechanism involves the soft-scattering of on-shell hadronic products of nonleptonic $B$ decay, as in the chain $B \to \rho\rho \to…

Exclusive measurements of the p p -> p p pi+ pi- reaction have been carried out at Tp = 775 MeV at CELSIUS using the PROMICE/WASA setup. Together with data obtained at lower energy they point to a dominance of the Roper excitation in this…

We present a model for the decay $D^+\to K^-\pi^+\pi^+$. The weak interaction part of this reaction is described using the effective weak Hamiltonian in the factorisation approach. Hadronic final state interactions are taken into account…

We study the final state interaction effects in $B\to KK$ decays. We find that the $t$ channel one-particle-exchange diagrams cannot enhance the branching ratios of $\bar{B^0}\to K^0\bar{K^0}$ and $B^-\to K^0K^-$ very sizably. For the pure…

Within the Standard Model, CP rate asymmetries for $B\to K^-\pi^{+,0}$ could reach 10%. With strong final state phases, they could go up to 20--30%, even for $\bar K^0\pi^-$ mode which would have opposite sign. We can account for…

The experimental branching ratio for the radiative decay $\rho^{0}\to\pi^{+}+\pi^{-}+\gamma$ is used to estimate the coupling constant $g_{\rho\sigma\gamma}$ for a set of values of $\sigma$-meson parameters M$_{\sigma}$ and…

We study possible contributions to the Ds^+ -> omega pi^+ and Ds^+ -> rho^0 pi^+ decay amplitudes. The Ds^+ -> omega pi^+ decay amplitude vanishes when the naive factorization is used, while the Ds^+ -> rho^0 pi^+ decay amplitude arises due…
