An overview is given of the study of final state interactions in hadronically decaying W pairs produced in e^+e^--collisions as it is performed by the four LEP experiments. Bose-Einstein correlations are investigated by comparing like- with…
We propose a new method to extract the CP violating weak phase $\gamma$ (the phase of $V_{ub}^*$) in the CKM paradigm of the Standard Model, using $B^- \rightarrow D^0 \pi^- \rightarrow f \pi^-$ and $B^- \rightarrow \bar D^0 \pi^-…
Measurements of $CP$ observables and the CKM angle $\gamma$ are performed in $B^{\pm} \to D K^*(892)^{\pm}$ decays, where $D$ represents a superposition of $D^0$ and $\overline{D}{}^0$ states, using the LHCb dataset collected during Run 1…
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…
The CKM angle $\gamma$ is determined from $C\!P$-violating observables measured in ${B^\pm \to D[ K^\mp \pi^\pm\pi^\pm\pi^\mp] h^\pm}$, $(h = K,\pi)$ decays, where the measurements are performed in bins of the decay phase-space of the $D$…
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).…
The semileptonic $D_{l4}$ decay including $D\to K\pi l\nu$ and $D\to \pi\pi l\nu$ have been extensively studied. In these references, the form factors and differential decay rate are explicitly stated. However, we would like to stress that…
Recently Ciuchini, Pierini and Silvestrini proposed a method for constraining CKM parameters in B->K pi pi and B_s-> K pi pi through phase measurements of amplitudes involving I=3/2 K*pi final states. We show that complementary information…
We suggest two methods (based on flavor SU(3) symmetry) to determine the CKM angle $\gamma$ using the decays $B_d$, $B^+ \to K \eta (\eta')$ and $B_s \to \pi \eta (\eta')$, respectively. Rescattering effects are partly included -- we…
A variety of CP violating asymmetries in $B^0$ decays is predicted in the Standard Model in terms of CKM (Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa) complex phases. These phases can also be determined from rate measurements of certain $B^+$ and $B^-$…
Decays of the kind $B_s\to D_s^{\pm}K^\mp, D_s^{\ast\pm}K^\mp, ...$ and $B_d\to D^{\pm}\pi^\mp, D^{\ast\pm}\pi^\mp, ...$ allow us to probe $\phi_s+\gamma$ and $\phi_d+\gamma$, respectively, involving the angle $\gamma$ of the unitarity…
We consider the possibility of extracting the CKM angle $\gamma$ with $B_c$ decays. The modes $B_c^\pm \to (D^0) D_s^\pm \to (K^{*+}K^-) D_s^\pm $ and $B_c^\pm \to (\bar D^0) D_s^\pm \to (K^{*+}K^-) D_s^\pm $ are found to be well suited for…
The $\sigma$ resonance was observed as a conspicuous $\pi^+\pi^-$ peak in hadronic decays like $J/\psi\to \pi^+\pi^-\omega$ or $D^+\to\pi^+\pi^-\pi^+$. The phase of the $\sigma\to\pi^+\pi^-$ amplitude, extracted from production data within…
We make an attempt to discuss in detail the effects originating from the final state interaction in the processes involving production of unstable elementary particles and their subsequent decay. Two complementary scenarios are considered:…
In the study of CP violation within and beyond the Standard Model of particle physics, pure hadronic B decays are the key players. Improving the determination of the CKM angle $\gamma$ is one of the important tasks in this endeavour.…
The rare decays of mesons are higher order effects in weak interactions. The main contributions to such decay processes are from the Z-penguin, the photonpenguin and the box diagram. At the quark level, these contributions are well known.…
In this study, we examine the non-leptonic weak decays of doubly charmed baryons, denoted as ${\cal B}_{cc}\to{\cal B}_{c}P$, where ${\cal B}_{cc}$ represents the doubly charmed baryons, specifically…
