Existing predictions for the branching ratio for $\phi\rightarrow K\bar{K}\gamma$ {\it via} $\phi\rightarrow S\gamma$ (where $S$ denotes one of the scalar mesons $f_0$(975) and $a_0$(980)) vary by several orders of magnitude. Given the…
Recently the branching ratios for $B^+\to K^+\bar K^0$ and $B^0 \to K^0 \bar K^0$ have been measured. Data indicate that the annihilation amplitudes in these decays are not zero. A non-zero annihilation amplitude plays an important role in…

We prove an approximate relation, to leading order in dominant terms, between CP-violating rate differences in $B^0/\bar{B}^0 \to K^{\pm}\pi^{\mp}$ and $B^{\pm} \to K^{\pm}\pi^0$. We show how data from these two processes may be combined in…
