We study the three-body decays \(\Lambda_b \to D^+ D^- \Lambda,~D^0D_s^- p,~D_s^+D_s^-\Lambda\), considering both internal and external emission mechanisms that produce various meson-baryon final states. Using a unitarized coupled-channel…

We propose a new method to extract a CP angle $\gamma$ from semi-inclusive two-body nonleptonic decays, b ---> D^0(\bar{D}^0) s and b ---> D_{CP} s. This method is free from the unknown long distance strong interaction effects and gives…

We show that, under reasonable hypotheses, it is possible to study two-body non-leptonic weak decays in numerical simulations of lattice QCD. By assuming that final-state interactions are dominated by the nearby resonances and that the…

Within the framework of the factorization approximation, two body non-leptonic decays of $B$ mesons are related to semileptonic matrix elements and form factors, evaluated with an effective lagrangian incorporating both chiral and heavy…
