The Standard Model (SM) predicts that $Delta A_{rm CP}$, the difference between the direct CP asymmetries for the modes $B^+to pi^0 K^+$ and $B^0to pi^- K^+$ that are related by weak isospin, should be close to zero. There has been a recent claim by the LHCb Collaboration that the measured value of $Delta A_{rm CP}$ shows an uncomfortable tension with the SM prediction, almost at the $8sigma$ level. Motivated by this claim, we critically re-examine the data on all the $Bto pi K$ modes, including the CP asymmetries and CP-averaged branching fractions. From a combined Bayesian analysis with the topological amplitudes and their phases as the free parameters, we find that the best-fit region has a large overlap with the parameter space favoured in the SM, albeit with some enhancement for the electroweak penguin and the colour-suppressed tree amplitudes, consistent with the findings of earlier studies. This `SM-like region perfectly explains $Delta A_{rm CP}$ and hence we conclude that there is not yet enough motivation to go beyond the SM.

We analyze the decays $B^0 to a^pm_0 pi^mp$ and $B^{-,0} to f_0 K^{-,0}$ and show that within the factorization approximation a phenomenological consistent picture can be obtained. We show that in this approach the $O_6$ operator provides the dominant contributions to the suppressed channel $B^0 to a^+_0 pi^-$. When the $a_0$ is considered a two quark state, evaluation of the annihilation form factor using Perturbative $QCD$ implies that this contribution is not negligible, and furthermore it can interfere constructively or destructively with other penguin contributions. As a consequence of this ambiguity, the positive identification of $B^0 to pi^+ a_0^-$ can not distinguish between the two or four quark assignment of the $a_0$. According to our calculation, a best candidate to distinguish the nature of $a_0$ scalar is $Br(B^-to pi^0a_0^-)$ since the predictions for a four quark model is one order of magnitude smaller than for the two quark assignment. When the scalars are seen as two quarks states, simple theoretical assumptions based on SU(2) isospin symmetry provide relations between different B decays involving one scalar and one pseudoscalar meson.
The meson decays $Bto Dtau u$ and $Bto D^* tau u$ are sensitive probes of the $bto ctau u$ transition. In this work we present a complete framework to obtain the maximum information on the physics of $Bto D^{(*)}tau u$ with polarized $tau$ leptons and unpolarized $D^{(*)}$ mesons. Focusing on the hadronic decays $tauto pi u$ and $tautorho u$, we show how to extract seven $tau$ asymmetries from a fully differential analysis of the final-state kinematics. At Belle II with $50~text{ab}^{-1}$ of data, these asymmetries could potentially be measured with percent level statistical uncertainty. This would open a new window into possible new physics contributions in $bto ctau u$ and would allow us to decipher its Lorentz and gauge structure.
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 through the $Kpi$ scalar and vector form factors fulfilling analyticity, unitarity and chiral symmetry constraints. Allowing for a global phase difference between the $S$ and $P$ waves of $-65^circ$, the Dalitz plot of the $D^+to K^-pi^+pi^+$ decay, the $Kpi$ invariant mass spectra and the total branching ratio due to $S$-wave interactions are well reproduced.
Recent experimental data for the differential decay distribution of the decay $tau^-to u_tau K_Spi^-$ by the Belle collaboration are described by a theoretical model which is composed of the contributing vector and scalar form factors $F_+^{Kpi}(s)$ and $F_0^{Kpi}(s)$. Both form factors are constructed such that they fulfil constraints posed by analyticity and unitarity. A good description of the experimental measurement is achieved by incorporating two vector resonances and working with a three-times subtracted dispersion relation in order to suppress higher-energy contributions. The resonance parameters of the charged $K^*(892)$ meson, defined as the pole of $F_+^{Kpi}(s)$ in the complex $s$-plane, can be extracted, with the result $M_{K^*}=892.0 pm 0.9 $MeV and $Gamma_{K^*}=46.2 pm 0.4 $MeV. Finally, employing the three-subtracted dispersion relation allows to determine the slope and curvature parameters $lambda_+^{}=(24.7pm 0.8)cdot 10^{-3}$ and $lambda_+^{}=(12.0pm 0.2)cdot 10^{-4}$ of the vector form factor $F_+^{Kpi}(s)$ directly from the data.
This article analyses the available inputs in $btopilnu$ and $btorholnu$ decays which include the measured values of differential rate in different $q^2$-bins (lepton invariant mass spectrum), lattice, and the newly available inputs on the relevant form-factors from the light-cone sum rules (LCSR) approach. We define different fit scenarios, and in each of these scenarios, we predict a few observables in the standard model (SM). For example, $R(M) =frac{mathcal{B}(B to Mell_i u_{ell_i})}{mathcal{B}(Bto Mell_j u_{ell_j})} $, $R^{ell_i}_{ell_j}(M) =frac{mathcal{B}(Bto ell_i u_{ell_i})}{mathcal{B}(B to Mell_j u_{ell_j})}$ with M = $pi$ or $rho$ and $ell_{i,j} = e, mu$ or $tau$. We also discuss the new physics (NP) sensitivities of all these observables and obtain bounds on a few NP Wilson coefficients in $bto u tau u_{tau}$ decays using the available data. We have noted that the data at present allows sizeable NP contributions in this mode. Also, we have predicted a few angular observables relevant to these decay modes.
