We present a Dalitz plot analysis of charmless B+- decays to the final state pi+-pi+-pi-+ using a sample of (465+-5)x10^-6 BBbar pairs collected by the BABAR experiment at \sqrt{s} = 10.58 GeV. We measure the branching fractions BF(B+- -->…
A value of (-6.1 +- 0.9_{stat} +- 0.5_{syst})*10^{-3} is obtained for the quadratic slope parameter h in the K_L -> 3\pi^0 decay Dalitz plot at the NA48 experiment at the CERN SPS. The result is based on 14.7*10^6 fully reconstructed K_L ->…
The isospin-breaking decay eta {\to} 3pi is an ideal tool to extract information on light quark mass ratios from experiment. For a precise determination, however, a detailed description of the Dalitz plot distribution is necessary. In that…
We report a measurement of CP-violating asymmetries in $B^0\to(\rho\pi)^0\to\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$ decays using a time-dependent Dalitz plot analysis. The results are obtained from a data sample of 347 million $\Upsilon(4S) \to B\bar{B}$ decays,…
We study the hadronic $\eta^{\prime}\to\eta\pi\pi$ decays within the framework of $U(3)_{L}\otimes U(3)_{R}$ Chiral Perturbation Theory including resonance states and the complete one-loop corrections. The amplitude is projected in partial…
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…
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 report a preliminary measurement of $\cos2\beta$ in $B^0\to D^{(*)0}h^0$ decays with a time-dependent Dalitz plot analysis of $D^0\to K_S\pi^+\pi^-$, where $h^0$ is a light neutral meson such as $\pi^0$, $\eta$, $\eta'$ or $\omega$. The…
$B^\pm \to DK^\pm$ transitions are known to provide theoretically clean information about the CKM angle $\gamma$, with the most precise available methods exploiting the cascade decay of the neutral $D$ into $CP$ self-conjugate states. Such…
Using CLEO-c data, we confirm the observation of D0 ->omega eta by BESIII. In the Dalitz Plot of D0 -> Kshort eta pi0, we find a background in the Kshort(->pipi)pi0 projection with a m(pipipi0) equal to the omega(782) mass. In a direct…
The system of $B^0_s\to D_s^\mp K^\pm$ decays offers a theoretically clean determination of the angle $\gamma$ of the Unitarity Triangle. A corresponding LHCb analysis resulted in a surprisingly large result, which is in tension with other…
A possible effect of direct CP violation in D->K0Spipi decay on the gamma measurement from B->DK, D->K0Spi+pi- Dalitz plot analysis is considered. Systematic uncertainty of gamma coming from the current limits on direct CP violation in…
We report on a Dalitz plot analysis of B- -> D+ pi- pi- decays, based on a sample of about 383 million Upsilon(4S) -> BBbar decays collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC. We find the total…
The most sensitive method to measure the CKM angle gamma is to exploit interference in B(+/-)->DK(+/-) decays, with the D-meson decaying to a hadronic final state. The analysis of quantum-correlated decays of the psi(3770) at CLEO-c…
The amplitude of the Dalitz decay pi0 -> e+ e gamma is studied and its model-independent properties are discussed in detail. A calculation of radiative corrections is performed within the framework of two-flavour chiral perturbation theory,…
We discuss some aspects of the search for CP asymmetry in the three body B decays, revealed through the interference among neighbor resonances in the Dalitz plot. We propose a competitive method to extract the CKM $\gamma$ angle combining…

We show that final state interactions are important in shaping Dalitz plots for the decay $D^+ \rar K^- \p^+ \p^+$. The theoretical treatment of this reaction requires a blend of several weak and hadronic processes and hence it is…
