Mesonic interactions and their contribution to strong phases in flavor physics
B. El-Bennich, A. Furman, R. Kaminski +3
We analyze the contributions of hadronic final-state interactions to the strong phases generated in the B -> Kpipi weak decays. To this end, we develop an alternative approach to t…
CP violation and final state interactions in B --> K pi pi decays
L. Lesniak, B. El-Bennich, A. Furman +3
Effects of CP violation and of final state interactions between pairs of pseudoscalar mesons are studied in three-body B+, B-, B0 and antiB0 decays into K pi pi. An alternative app…
Chiral perturbation theory: a basic introduction
B. Moussallam
Chiral perturbation theory is a very general expansion method which can be applied to any dynamical system which has continuous global symmetries and in which the ground state brea…
Virtual quarks, vacuum stability and scalar meson physics
B. Moussallam
Results are reviewed, which provide relations between the response (and eventual instability) of the chiral QCD vacuum to an increase of the number of massless quarks in the theory…
The Amplitude in Generalized Chiral Perturbation Theory
M. Knecht, B. Moussallam, J. Stern
The interaction is studied at one loop order in the framework of Generalized Chiral Perturbation theory
Casimir Energy in the Skyrme Model
B. Moussallam
The so called Casimir energy embodies the O() contribution to the skyrmion mass according to the semi-classical expansion theory of solitons. We claim that this contributi…
