We derive dispersive representations for the anomalous process gamma pi --> pi pi with the pi pi P-wave phase shift as input. We investigate how in this framework the chiral anomaly can be extracted from a cross-section measurement using…
A method is proposed to measure the photon polarisation parameter $\lambda_\gamma$ in $b\to s\gamma$ transitions using an amplitude analysis of $B\to K\pi\pi\gamma$ decays. Simplified models of the $K\pi\pi$ i system are used to simulate…
The cross section for $\gamma\gamma\to\pi^0\pi^0$ and the pion polarizabilities are computed, within generalized chiral perturbation theory, in the full one loop approximation, {\it i.e.} up to and including order $O({p^5})$. The result…
The process $e^+e^- \to \pi^0\gamma$ has been studied in the experiment with the SND detector at the VEPP-2M $e^+e^-$ collider. The $e^+e^- \to \pi^0\gamma$ cross section has been measured in the center-of-mass energy range from 0.60 to…
A cross section of the process $e^+e^- \to \pipi\pipi$ has been measured using 6798$\pm$93 signal events from a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9.8 pb$^{-1}$ collected with the CMD-3 detector in the center-of-mass…
The ratio R_{\eta}=\Gamma(\eta -> \pi^+\pi^-\gamma)/\Gamma(\eta -> \pi^+\pi^-\pi^0) has been measured by analyzing 22 million \phi \to \eta \gamma decays collected by the KLOE experiment at DA\PhiNE, corresponding to an integrated…
We improve, in the energy region between $\bar{K}K$ threshold and $\sim~1.4$ GeV, the energy-dependent phase shift analysis of $\pi\pi$ scattering presented in a previous paper. For the S0 wave we have included more data above $\bar{K}K$…
We present a calculation of the $K\to\pi\pi$ decay amplitudes from the $K\to\pi$ matrix elements using leading order relations derived in chiral perturbation theory. Numerical simulations are carried out in quenched QCD with the domain-wall…
The phase picked up by a graphene plasmon upon scattering by an abrupt edge is commonly assumed to be $-\pi$. Here, it is demonstrated that for high plasmon momenta this reflection phase is $\approx -3\pi/4$, virtually independent on either…
A dispersion integral is derived that connects data on $\eta\to \pi^+\pi^-\gamma$ to the $\eta\to \gamma\gamma^*$ transition form factor. A detailed analysis of the uncertainties is provided. We find for the slope of the $\eta$ transition…
We update the numerical results for the s-wave pi pi scattering phase-shift difference delta_0^0 - delta_0^2 at s = m_K^2 from a previous study of isospin breaking in K to 2 pi amplitudes in chiral perturbation theory. We include recent…
The cross section of the $e^+e^-\to\omega\pi^0\to\pi^0\pi^0\gamma$ reaction was measured by the SND detector at VEPP-2M $e^+e^-$ collider in the energy range from threshold up to 1.4 GeV. Results of the cross section fitting by the sum of…
We study the reaction $e^+e^-\to\pi^0\gamma$ based on a dispersive representation of the underlying $\pi^0\to\gamma\gamma^*$ transition form factor. As a first application, we evaluate the contribution of the $\pi^0\gamma$ channel to the…
The B_{s} --> \phi\psi decay is modeled through the inclusive b --> s\psi decay. Using the Vector Meson Dominance model, the amplitude for the chain process B_{s} --> \phi\psi --> \phi\gamma --> \gamma\gamma is estimated and it is found to…
We study the $J/\psi \to \gamma \pi^+ \pi^-$, $\gamma \pi^0 \eta$ reactions from the perspective that they come from the $J/\psi \to \phi(\omega) \pi^+ \pi^-, \rho^0\pi^0 \eta$ reactions, where the $\rho^0$, $\omega$, and $\phi$ get…
We re-examine the question of measuring the weak phase gamma in B -> K pi pi decays. To this end, we express all B -> K pi pi amplitudes in terms of diagrams. We show that, as in B -> K pi, there exist relations between certain tree and…
In the experiment with the SND detector at the VEPP-2000 $e^+e^-$ collider, the $e^+e^-\to\eta\gamma$ cross section is measured in the energy range $E = 980 - 1060$ MeV. The measurement is carried out in the $\eta\to 2\gamma$ decay mode.…

We express the leading electromagnetic corrections in K-> pi pi amplitudes as integrals over the virtual photon squared-momentum Q^2. The high Q^2 behavior is obtained via the operator product expansion. The low Q^2 behavior is calculated…
The inverse amplitude method has previously been successfully applied to $\pi\pi$ scattering in order to extend the range of applicability of chiral perturbation theory. However, in order to take the chiral zeros into account…
