We use one-loop chiral perturbation theory to compare potential lattice computations of the K+ --> pi+ pi0 decay amplitude at m_K=2m_pi with the experimental value. We find that the combined one-loop effect due to this unphysical pion to…

We have searched for two-body charmless hadronic decays of $B$ mesons. Final states include $\pi\pi$, $K \pi$, and $KK$ with both charged and neutral kaons and pions; $\pi\rho$, $K \rho$, and $K^*\pi$; and $K\phi$, $ K^*\phi$, and…

The OKA Collaboration has obtained a new upper limit on the $K^+ \to \pi^0\pi^0\pi^0 e^+ \nu$ decay probability which is 65 times lower than the one currently listed by PDG. However it is still about $10^{4}$ times worse than the…

We report the observation of B^0 decays to the K^+pi^-pi^0 final state using a data sample of 78 fb^-1 collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB e^+e^- collider. With no assumptions about intermediate states in the decay, the branching…

We point out that decays of the kind $B_d\to D_\pm K_{S(L)}$ and $B_s\to D_\pm\eta^{(')},D_\pm\phi, ...$, where $D_+$ and $D_-$ denote the CP-even and CP-odd eigenstates of the neutral D-meson system, respectively, provide very efficient,…

We discuss all contributions from Zweig-rule-satisfying SU(3)-breaking final state interactions (FSIs)in the B -> PP decays (neglecting charmed intermediate states), where PP=pi pi, pi K, KK, pi eta (eta'), and K eta (eta'). First, effects…

We investigate systematically how to extract new physics contributions in B --> K pi l^+ l^- decay by using the angular decomposition. The decomposition will enable us to define not only several CP averaged forward-backward (FB) asymmetries…

The amplitudes of the $K^{\pm} \to 3\pi$ and $K \to 2\pi$ decays are expressed in terms of different combinations of one and the same set of CP-conserving and CP-odd parameters. Extracting the magnitudes of these parameters from the data on…

A sum rule relation is proposed for direct CP asymmetries in $B\to K\pi$ decays. Leading terms are identical in the isospin symmetry limit, while subleading terms are equal in the flavor SU(3) and heavy quark limits. The sum rule predicts…

In perturbative QCD approach, based on the first order of isospin symmetry breaking, we study the direct $CP$ violation in the decay of $\bar{B}_s^0\to\rho(\omega )K^{*0}\to {\pi^+}{\pi^-}K^{*0}$. An interesting mechanism is applied to…

Recent results on rare kaon and pion decays are reviewed and prospects for future experiments are discussed

Incoherent pion photoproduction on the deuteron is studied for photon energies from threshold up to 1 GeV with special emphasis on polarization observables. The elementary $\gamma N\to\pi N$ amplitude is taken from the MAID model. The…

The $B_s$-meson system is a key element in the $B$-physics programme of hadron colliders, offering various avenues to explore CP violation and to search for new physics. One of the most prominent decays is $B_s\to J/\psi\phi$, the…

The decays $B^\pm\to \pi^\pm K$ and $B_d\to \pi^\mp K^\pm$ were observed by the CLEO collaboration last year; they may play an important role to probe the angle $\gamma$ of the unitarity triangle of the CKM matrix. After a general…

We report measurements of time-dependent decay rates for $B^0 \to D^{*\mp} \pi^\pm$ decays and extraction of CP violation parameters related to $\phi_3$. We use a partial reconstruction technique, whereby signal events are identified using…

In this research the weak decay of $B^+_c$ decays to the $K^+K^-\pi^+$ final state, which is observed by LHCb collaboration for the first time, is calculated in the quasi-two-body decays which takes into account the $B^0_s$, $\chi_{c0}$ and…

A search for CP violation in the phase-space structures of D0 and D0bar decays to the final states K-K+pi-pi+ and pi-pi+pi+pi- is presented. The search is carried out with a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0fb^-1…

In the perturbative QCD framework, we use the quasi-two-body method to study the CP violations and branching ratios in the $\bar B_{s} \rightarrow [\phi(\rho^{0},\omega)\rightarrow K^{+}K^{-}][K^{*0}\rightarrow K^{+}\pi^{-}]$ and $\bar…

We calculate the direct CP violating asymmetry parameter, $a_{CP}$, for $B \to \pi^{+} \pi^{-} \pi$ and $B \to \pi^{+} \pi^{-} K$ decays, in the case where $\rho^0-\omega$ mixing effects are taken into account. We find that the direct CP…

A Regge model calculation relates the strong phase in $B \to DK$ to that in $B\to D\pi$. This provides a significant test of a hadronic picture of final state interactions in B decays.
