In this article, we study the final-state rescattering effects in the decays $B^0\to \chi_{c0}K^{*0}$ and $B^+ \to \chi_{c0}K^{*+}$, and observe the corrections are zero in the SU(3) limit, which is warranted by the heavy quark symmetry. It…

We have studied charmless hadronic decays of B mesons into two-body final states with kaons and pions and observe three new processes with the following branching fractions: BR(B-> pi+ pi-) = (4.3^{+1.6}_{-1.4} \pm 0.5) \times 10^{-6},…

The decay $B^{\pm}\to DK^{\pm}$ followed by the subsequent decay of the $D$ meson into final states involving a neutral kaon can be used to determine the CKM angle $\gamma$. We study CP violation effects due to mixing and decay of the final…

The interplay of strong and weak decay amplitudes for B -> pion-pion-kaon and B -> kaon-antikaon-kaon, with the pion-pion and kaon-antikaon pairs interacting in isospin-0 S-wave, is analyzed for pion-pion effective mass from threshold to…

We apply QCD factorization to the quasi two-body B ->(K pi) pi decays where the (K pi)-pair effective mass is limited to 1.8 GeV. Our strong interaction phases constrained by theory and pi-K experimental data yield useful information for…

We reexamine, update and extend a suggestion we made fifteen years ago for measuring the photon polarization in $b \to s\gamma$ by observing in $B \to K\pi\pi\gamma$ an asymmetry of the photon with respect to the $K\pi\pi$ plane.…

We evaluate the non-resonant decay amplitude of the process $B^\pm\to K^\pm\pi^+ \pi^-$ using an approach based on final state hadronic interactions described in terms of meson exchanges. We conclude that this mechanism generates…

We examine effects of final state interactions (FSI) in kaon decays using a new scheme without the Omnes function, and show that while Delta I=1/2 rule is impossible to be explained in terms of FSI alone, $\epsilon'/\epsilon\sim 16.5\times…

Within the Standard Model, and if one assumes that soft rescattering effects are negligible, the CP asymmetry A^dir_CP (B^\pm -> \pi^\pm K) is predicted to be very small and the ratio R = BR(B_d -> \pi^\mp K^\pm)/BR(B^\pm -> \pi^\pm K)…

It has recently been pointed out that the observables of the decay $B^+\to K^+\bar{K^0}$ and its charge conjugate allow us to take into account rescattering effects in constraints on the CKM angle $\gamma$ arising from $B^\pm\to\pi^\pm K$…

We consider the strong rescattering effects that can occur in the decays such as B -> K pi, K* pi, K rho... and their impact on direct CP violation in these modes. First we discuss, in general, how the CPT theorem constrains the resulting…

Strangeness-changing decays of $B$ mesons to three-body final states of pions and kaons are studied, assuming that they are dominated by a $\Delta I=0$ penguin amplitude with flavor structure $\bar b \to \bar s$. Numerous isospin relations…

Final-state interaction effects in charmless B_{u,d,s} to PP decays are studied. We investigate the B(bar)^0 to pi^+ pi^-, pi^0 pi^0 rates and the K pi direct CP violations, which lead to the so-called K pi puzzle in CP violation (Delta A).…

We have studied two-body charmless hadronic decays of B mesons into the final states $\pi\pi$, $K \pi$, and $KK$. Using 3.3 million $B\bar{B}$ pairs collected with the CLEO-II detector, we have made the first observation of the decays…
