abstract
There exist many experimental indications that final-state interactions (FSIs) may play a prominent role not only in charmful B decays but also in charmless B ones. We examine the final-state rescattering effects on the hadronic B decay rates and their impact on direct CP violation. The color-suppressed neutral modes such as $B^0\to D^0\pi^0,\pi^0\pi^0,\rho^0\pi^0,K^0\pi^0$ can be substantially enhanced by long-distance rescattering effects. The direct CP-violating partial rate asymmetries in charmless B decays to $\pi\pi/\pi K$ and $\rho\pi$ are significantly affected by final-state rescattering and their signs are generally different from that predicted by the short-distance approach. For example, direct CP asymmetry in $B^0\to\rho^0\pi^0$ is increased to around 60% due to final state rescattering effects whereas the short-distance picture gives about 1%. Evidence of direct CP violation in the decay $\bar B^0\to K^-\pi^+$ is now established, while the combined BaBar and Belle measurements of $\bar B^0\to\rho^\pm\pi^\mp$ imply a $3.6\sigma$ direct CP asymmetry in the $\rho^+\pi^-$ mode. Our predictions for CP violation agree with experiment in both magnitude and sign, whereas the QCD factorization predictions seem to have some difficulty with the data. Current data on $\pi K$ modes seem to violate the isospin sum rule relation, suggesting the presence of electroweak penguin contributions. We have also investigated whether a large transverse polarization in $B\to \phi K^*$ can arise from the final-state rescattering of $D^{(*)}\bar D_s^{(*)}$ into $\phi K^*$.

A unitarized FSI framework with no adjustable parameters for B decays, calibrated on BaBar γγ o D Dbar data, predicts enhanced CP asymmetries in pure-annihilation channels that match existing measurements.

The u-channel Lambda_c exchange enhances rescattering via Dbar(*) Sigma_c states in the piN to J/psiN reaction, producing clear peaks for Pc(4312) (1/2^-) and Pc(4457) (3/2^-) at microbarn cross sections while suppressing other states.
Tikhonov regularization reconstructs the input Gaussian source function from correlation functions generated by a square-well toy model in femtoscopy.
A data-driven SU(3)-breaking analysis of B to PP decays yields QCD-factorization amplitudes that resemble dynamical predictions and require no enhanced annihilation terms.
Unquenched coupled-channel calculations yield sizable 2P–1F mixing angles of 7.5° and 15.4° for the χ_c2 charmonia, with predicted two-photon and two-gluon widths as experimental tests.
Branching ratios for hyperon semi-invisible decays (hadronic ~10^{-5}, radiative <10^{-7}) are calculated with sizable one-loop corrections using effective Lagrangians.
Hidden-charm pentaquarks do not appear in J/ψ photoproduction because rescattering from ar{D}^{(*)}Σ_c intermediate states is suppressed relative to ar{D}^{(*)}Λ_c by a factor of roughly five in the relevant couplings.
Rescattering enhances the anti-D0 Lambda branching fraction by two orders of magnitude and produces large direct CP asymmetries (0.28 and -0.14) in Lambda_b to Lambda D channels.
LHCb measures f_L^d = 0.600 and f_L^s = 0.159 for B to K* Kbar* decays and reports a ratio L of 4.92 that confirms 4.4 sigma discrepancy with theory.
Charmed-meson loop calculations reproduce the branching fractions of chi_cJ to eta eta eta' and the absence of eta1(1855) signal in the eta eta' spectrum.
Using effective Lagrangians under molecular assumptions for η_c D* and J/ψ D*, the authors estimate B_c production branching ratios of 10^{-4} and 10^{-5} respectively, with decay widths O(MeV).
Within the Bethe-Salpeter framework the authors find bound-state solutions for D anti-D pairs under all three coupling sets examined and for Ds anti-Ds pairs only in a restricted region, yielding predicted B+ branching fractions of 1.09e-5 to 2.006e-3 and 1.56e-6 to 4.14e-4 respectively.
