The Dyson-Schwinger equations of QCD, truncated to ladder-rainbow level, are used to calculate meson form factors in impulse approximation. The infrared strength of the ladder-rainbow kernel is described by two parameters fitted to the…
A partial wave analysis (PWA) of the $\pi^- \pi^- \pi^+$ and $\pi^- \pi^0 \pi^0$ systems produced in the reaction $\pi^- p \to (3\pi)^-p$ at 18 GeV/$c$ was carried out using an \emph{isobar} model assumption. This analysis is based on 3.0M…
Isospin-breaking in B --> pi pi caused by pi^0-eta-eta' mixing is studied in a model-independent way using flavor SU(3). Measured branching ratios for B^+ --> pi^+ pi^0, B^+ --> pi^+ eta^(') and B^0 --> pi^0 eta^(') imply an uncertainty in…
