Three ways are compared of dealing with rescattering effects in $B^{\pm}\to K^0\pi^{\pm}$, in order to determine the weak phase $\gamma$ from these processes and $B^{\pm}\to K^{\pm}\pi^0$. We find that neglecting these contributions…
It is well known that the final state interaction plays an important role in the decays of $B$-meson. The contribution of the final state interaction which is supposed to be long-distance effects, to the concerned processes can interfere…
I give a brief review of final state interactions (FSI) in heavy meson decays, paying particular attention to B-meson physics. Available theoretical methods for dealing with the effects of FSI are discussed.
The newly observed $\bar B^0 \to \bar K^0\pi^0$ mode is quite sizable while $\pi^-\pi^+$ is rather small. Data also hint at $\pi^-\pi^0 \gtrsim \pi^-\pi^+$. Though consistent with zero, central values of CP violating asymmetries in…
We suggest a new technique to determine the CKM phase $\gamma$ {\em without} neglecting the (soft) final state rescattering effects. We use (time integrated) $B$ meson decay rates to $\pi$'s and $K$'s. A set of 5 $\Delta S = 0$ (or 1…
A simple Regge pole model for $K\pi$ scattering explains the large $e^{i \delta}$ between isospin amplitudes which is observed at the D meson mass ($\delta \approx \pi/2$). It predicts $\delta \approx 14^{\circ}- 20^{\circ}$ at the B mass.…
A model-independent determination of the CKM angle $\gamma$ is presented, using the $B^\pm\to[K^+K^-\pi^+\pi^-]_D h^\pm$ and $B^\pm\to[\pi^+\pi^-\pi^+\pi^-]_D h^\pm$ decays, with $h=K,\pi$. This measurement is the first phase-space-binned…
We explore the contribution of hadronic final state interactions (FSI) to propose a production mechanism and interpret the puzzle on helicity angle distributions in $B^+\to p\bar p \pi^+$ and $B^+\to p\bar p K^+$ decays. Experimental…
It has been long-understood that final state rescattering effects provide $\mathcal{O}(1)$ corrections to hadronic meson decays rates, such as $\eta\to\pi\pi\pi$ and $\eta^{\prime}\to\eta\pi\pi$. Hence, one would expect that such effects…
The determination of the angle $\gamma$ of the unitarity triangle of the CKM matrix is a challenge for the $B$-factories. In this context, $B\to\pi K$ decays received a lot of attention, providing various interesting ways to constrain and…
In the recent literature, constraints on the CKM angle $\gamma$ arising from the branching ratios for $B^\pm\to\pi^\pm K$ and $B_d\to\pi^\mp K^\pm$ decays received a lot of attention. An important theoretical limitation of the accuracy of…
Calculations of two-step rescattering and pion emission for the 12C(e,e'p) reaction at very large missing energies and momenta are compared with recent data from TJNAF. For parallel kinematics, final state interactions are strongly reduced…
The ratio of partial decay rates for charged and neutral $B$ mesons to $K \pi$ final states provides information on the weak phase $\gamma \equiv {\rm Arg} (V_{ub}^*)$ when augmented with information on the CP-violating asymmetry in the…
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 dynamical studies on the non-leptonic weak decays of charmed baryons are always challenging, due to the large non-perturbative contributions at the charm scale. In this work, we develop the final-state rescattering mechanism to study…
The contribution of rescattering to final state interactions in the (e,e'p) cross section is studied using a semiclassical model. This approach considers a two-step process with the propagation of an intermediate nucleon and uses Glauber…
Recent results from CLEO on $B\to K\pi$ indicate that the phase $\gamma$ may be substantially different from that obtained from other fit to the KM matrix elements in the Standard Model. We show that $\gamma$ extracted using $B\to K\pi,…
In this talk I will discuss the extraction of the CKM angle $\gamma$ at B-factories through the interference of the subprocesses $B^-\to K^- D^0$ and $B^- \to K^-\bar D^0$. This seemingly impossible interference may be accomplished by…
We present a model for the decay $D^+\to K^-\pi^+\pi^+$. The weak interaction part of this reaction is described using the effective weak Hamiltonian in the factorisation approach. Hadronic final state interactions are taken into account…
The LHCb Collaboration has recently reported the first observation of the decay $\bar B_s^0\to \Lambda_c^+\bar\Lambda_c^-$, along with measurements of the branching fractions for both $\bar B^0\to \Lambda_c^+\bar\Lambda_c^-$ and $\bar…
