We report on our determination of the values of the one and two loop low energy constants appearing in the Chiral Perturbation Theory calculation of the pi-pi scattering amplitude. For this we use a precise sum rule determination of…
If new physics (NP) is present in B -> pi pi decays, it can affect the isospin I=2 or I=0 channels. In this paper, we discuss various methods for detecting and measuring this NP. The techniques have increasing amounts of theoretical…
We show that, independently of the size of the quark condensate, chiral symmetry correlates the two S-wave \pi\pi scattering lengths. In view of this constraint, the new precision data on K_{e_4} decay allow a remarkably accurate…
The pion structure function is investigated in a simple model, where pion and constituent quark fields are coupled through the simplest pseudoscalar coupling. The imaginary part of the forward gamma* pi-> gamma* pi scattering amplitude is…
Interactions in three coupled channels: pi-pi, K-anti K and sigma-sigma have been investigated in a wide two-pion effective mass region from the pi-pi threshold up to 1600 MeV. Analytical structure of amplitudes in all channels has been…
By including the strong isospin symmetry breaking effects and the electromagnetic contributions between the pseudoscalar mesons, we calculate the phase shifts of the $P$-wave $\pi\pi$ and $K\pi$ scattering up to $\mathcal{O}(p^4)$ in the…
K -> Pi Pi decays are investigated in the framework of the SU(2)left x U(1) gauge theory of J=0 mesons proposed in ref.[1], to which is added an interaction between mesons respecting the two symmetries generally attributed to strong…
The long-distance contributions to $K\to 2\pi$ amplitudes can be pinned down, using well established Chiral Perturbation Theory techniques. The strong S--wave rescattering of the two final pions generates sizeable chiral loop corrections,…
A model-independent partial-wave analysis of the \swave component of the $K\pi$ system from decays of $D^{+}$ mesons to the three-body $\Km\pip\pip$ final state is described. Data come from the Fermilab E791 experiment. Amplitude…
The decay widths of four-body double-pion decays $\ds\to pn \pi^0\pi^0$, $\ds\to pn \pi^+\pi^-$, and iso-scalar parts of $\ds\to pp \pi^0\pi^-$ and $\ds\to nn \pi^+\pi^0$ are explicitly calculated with the help of the $d^*$ wave function…
A joint analysis of the pi+pi- and pi0pi0 S-wave amplitudes including results of three experiments has been performed. Using our theoretical model of the pion-pion production in which not only the pion exchange but also the a1(1260) meson…
We discuss the isospin-breaking effects on threshold cusp structures in multichannel scattering near two-body thresholds. In hadronic systems with isospin symmetry, two or more nearly degenerate thresholds can appear, and their small…
We present a dispersive analysis of the three-pion decays of the lightest isoscalar vector mesons. The framework allows for a consistent implementation of final-state interactions among all three pions, with the results being solely…
In this talk I summarize recently proposed mechanisms to understand pi pi scattering to 1 GeV in an effective chiral Lagrangian. The Lagrangian includes higher resonances in addition to pions consistently with the chiral symmetry. Iso-spin…
We extend our study of the $K\pi$ system to moving frames and present an exploratory extraction of the masses and widths for the $K^*$ resonances by simulating $K\pi$ scattering in p-wave with $I=1/2$ on the lattice. Using $K\pi$ systems…
We carry out a $U$-spin symmetry analysis for CP violation in $B^- $ decays into three light $\pi^-\pi^-\pi^+$, $\pi^- K^-K^+$, $K^-K^-K^+$ and $K^- \pi^-\pi^+$ mesons. We clarify some subtle points in constructing decay amplitudes with…
A method is presented which makes considerably more transparent possible patterns behind low-energy scattering data. In particular, structures associated with resonances, such as locations, widths and heights, become visible with a naked…
We perform a model-independent analysis for recently reported data of the $\pi^+\pi^-$ invariant mass spectra in the $\Upsilon(4S)\to\Upsilon(1S,2S)\pi^+\pi^-$ decays and point out that there does exist a broad peak below 0.6 GeV in the…
We investigate the decay of $a^+_1(1260) \to \pi^+ \pi^+ \pi^-$ with the assumption that the $a_1(1260)$ is dynamically generated from the coupled channel $\rho \pi$ and $\bar{K}K^*$ interactions. In addition to the tree level diagrams that…
The decay $B^0\to \psi(2S) K^+\pi^-$ is analyzed using $\rm 3~fb^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data collected with the LHCb detector. A model-independent description of the $\psi(2S) \pi$ mass spectrum is obtained, using as input the $K\pi$ mass…
