We point out that a new contribution to B decays to three pions is relevant in explaining recent data from the CLEO and BABAR collaborations, in particular the results on quasi-two-body decays via a rho meson. We also discuss the relevance…
We examine the role of B^0(\bar B^0) \to \sigma \pi^0 \to \pi^+\pi^- \pi^0 decay in the Dalitz plot analysis of B^0 (\bar B^0) \to \rho\pi \to \pi^+\pi^-\pi^0 decays, employed to extract the CKM parameter \alpha. The \sigma \pi channel is…
The size of the direct CP asymmetry generated during the weak decay of hadrons is attributed to the weak phase and some strong phases. The weak phase comes from the CKM matrix and a strong phase may result from the resonance effect which is…
We report preliminary results from a study of the decay B0 --> D0bar pi+ pi- using a data sample of 470.9 +/- 2.8 million BBbar events collected with the BaBar detector at the Y(4S) resonance. Using the Dalitz-plot analysis technique, we…
We consider various contributions to the nonresonant decay $B^\pm\rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-\pi^\pm$, both of the long-distance and short-distance types with the former providing for most of the branching ratio, predicted to be…
The decay mode B -> rho pi is currently studied as a channel allowing, in principle, to measure without ambiguities the angle alpha of the unitarity triangle. It is also investigated by the CLEO Collaboration where a branching ratio larger…
Nonleptonic decays B to D pi- or B to D* pi- are dominated by factorizable contributions. In the heavy quark limit, nonfactorizable contribution arises from strong radiative correction and power corrections in 1/m_b. I calculate the decay…
We reconsider two classical proposals for the determination of the angle gamma of the unitarity triangle: B^\pm => chi_{c0} \pi^\pm => \pi^+\pi^-\pi^\pm and B_s => rho^0 K_S => \pi^+ \pi^- K_S. We point out the relevance, in both cases, of…
This paper reviews the Dalitz plot analysis for the decays $B^0(\bar B^0) \to \rho \pi \to \pi^+ \pi^- \pi^0$. We discuss what can be learned about the ten parameters in this analysis from untagged and from tagged time-integrated data. We…
We present improved measurements of the branching fractions and CP-asymmetries in the B0 --> pi+ pi-, B0 --> pi0 pi0, and B+ --> rho+ rho0 decays, which impact the determination of alpha. We find S(pi+ pi-) = -0.68 +/- 0.10 +/- 0.03 C(pi+…
Charmless 3-body decays of $B$ mesons are studied using a simple model based on the framework of the factorization approach. We have identified a large source of the nonresonant signal in the matrix elements of scalar densities, e.g.…
We investigate the contributions coming from the penguin operators in the nonresonant $B^- \to M \bar M \pi^-$ ($M =\pi^-, K^-, K^0$) decays. The effective Wilson coefficients of the the strong penguin operators $O_{4,6}$ are found to be…
We present the results of a time-dependent Dalitz plot analysis of B0 -> pi+ pi- pi0 decays based on a 414fb^-1 data sample that contains 449MBB pairs collected on the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric…
We calculate the branching ratios and CP asymmetries for $B^0 \to \pi^+\rho^-$, $B^0 \to \rho^+\pi^-$, $B^+ \to \rho^+\pi^0$, $B^+ \to \pi^+\rho^0$, $B^0 \to \pi^0\rho^0$, $B^+ \to \pi^+\omega$ and $B^0 \to \pi^0\omega$ decays, in a…
We report a Dalitz-plot analysis of the charmless hadronic decays of neutral B mesons to K^+/- pi^-/+ pi^0. With a sample of (231.8+/-2.6) 10^6 Upsilon(4S) to B Bbar decays collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B…
We discuss the importance of the background in order to understand the scattering in the J^{PC}=0^{++} low and intermediate energy region and in particular regarding the \sigma meson. In order to appreciate better its importance we compare…
We study the effect of the sigma(600) and a_1(1260) resonances in the rho^0 -> pi^+ pi^- gamma decay, within the meson dominance model. Major effects are driven by the mass and width parameters of the sigma(600), and the usually neglected…
The weak radiative Cabibbo allowed decays D^+ -> anti K^0 pi^+ gamma and D^0 -> K^- pi^+ gamma with nonresonant K pi are investigated by relying on the factorization approximation for the nonleptonic weak transitions and the model which…
Using the 9 inverse femtobarn data sample collected with the CLEO II.V detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we have studied the resonant substructure of the Cabibbo suppressed decay D0 -> pi+ pi- pi0. We observe significant…
We estimate effects of the final state interactions in B -> pi pi decays coming from rescattering of pi pi via exchange of rho, sigma, f_0 mesons. Then we include the rho rho rescattering via exchange of pi, omega, a_1 mesons and finally we…
