We analyze the most recent data for the pion vector form factor in the timelike region, employing a model-independent approach based on dispersion theory. We confirm earlier observations about the inconsistency of different modern high-precision data sets. Excluding the BaBar data, we find an updated value for the isospin-violating branching ratio $mathcal{B}(omega to pi^+pi^-) = (1.46pm 0.08) times 10^{-2}$. As a side result, we also extract an improved value for the pion vector or charge radius, $sqrt{langle r_V^2rangle} = 0.6603(5)(4)text{fm}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical as derived from the fit, while the second estimates the possible size of nonuniversal radiative corrections. In addition, we demonstrate that modern high-quality data for the decay $eta to pi^+pi^-gamma$ will allow for an even improved determination of the transition strength $omegatopi^+pi^-$.

We report on a theoretical study of the newly observed $Omega(2012)$ resonance in the nonleptonic weak decays of $Omega_c^0 to pi^+ bar{K}Xi^*(1530) (eta Omega) to pi^+ (bar{K}Xi)^-$ and $pi^+ (bar{K}Xipi)^-$ via final-state interactions of the $bar{K}Xi^*(1530)$ and $eta Omega$ pairs. The weak interaction part is assumed to be dominated by the charm quark decay process: $c(ss) to (s + u + bar{d})(ss)$, while the hadronization part takes place between the $sss$ cluster from the weak decay and a quark-antiquark pair with the quantum numbers $J^{PC} = 0^{++}$ of the vacuum, produces a pair of $bar{K}Xi^*(1530)$ and $eta Omega$. Accordingly, the final $bar{K}Xi^*(1530)$ and $eta Omega$ states are in pure isospin $I= 0$ combinations, and the $Omega_c^0 to pi^+ bar{K}Xi^*(1530)(eta Omega) to pi^+ (bar{K}Xi)^-$ decay is an ideal process to study the $Omega(2012)$ resonance. With the final-state interaction described in the chiral unitary approach, up to an arbitrary normalization, the invariant mass distributions of the final state are calculated, assuming that the $Omega(2012)$ resonance with spin-parity $J^P = 3/2^-$ is a dynamically generated state from the coupled channels interactions of the $bar{K}Xi^*(1530)$ and $eta Omega$ in $s$-wave and $bar{K}Xi$ in $d$-wave. We also calculate the ratio, $R^{bar{K}Xipi}_{bar{K}Xi} = {rm Br}[Omega_c^0 to pi^+ Omega(2012)^- to pi^+ (bar{K}Xi pi)^-] / {rm Br}[Omega_c^0 to pi^+ Omega(2012)^- to pi^+ (bar{K}Xi)^-$]. The proposed mechanism can provide valuable information on the nature of the $Omega(2012)$ and can in principle be tested by future experiments.
The claim that the light quark mass ratio (m_d - m_u)/m_s can be extracted from the decay width ratio Gamma(eta -> pi^0 pi^+ pi^-)/Gamma(eta -> eta pi^+ pi^-) is critically investigated within a U(3) chiral unitary framework. The influence of the recent VES data on the eta -> eta pi^+ pi^- decay is also discussed.
The decay $D^0 to pi^+ pi^- pi^0$ appears to be dominated by $rho pi$ states in a configuration of zero total isotopic spin. The spin $J$, parity $P$, and charge-conjugation eigenvalue $C$ of this final state are therefore $J^{PC} = 0^{--}$, which cannot be formed of a quark $q$ and antiquark $bar q$. If a resonance near $M(D^0)$ dominates the final state, it must be a {it hybrid} composed of a quark-antiquark pair and a constituent gluon, or a {it tetraquark} $q q bar q bar q$. A test for this resonance in electroproduction is proposed.
From the amplitude analysis of the $D^+_s to pi^+ pi^0 eta$ decay, the BESIII Collaboration firstly observed the $D^+_s to a_0(980)^+pi^0$ and $D^+_s to a_0(980)^0pi^+$ decay modes, which are expected to occur through the pure $W$-annihilation processes. The measured branching fraction $mathcal{B}[D_{s}^{+}to a_{0}(980)^{+(0)}pi^{0(+)},a_{0}(980)^{+(0)}to pi^{+(0)}eta]$ is, however, found to be larger than those of known $W$-annihilation decays by one order of magnitude. This apparent contradiction can be reconciled if the two decays are induced by internal $W$-conversion or external $W$-emission mechanisms instead of $W$-annihilation mechanism. In this work, we propose that the $D^+_s$ decay proceeds via both the external and internal $W$-emission instead of $W$-annihilation mechanisms. In such a scenario, we perform a study of the $D^+_s to pi^+pi^0eta$ decay by taking into account the contributions from the tree diagram $D^+_s to rho^+ eta to pi^+ pi^0 eta$ and the intermediate $rho^+ eta$ and $K^*bar{K}/Kbar{K}^*$ triangle diagrams. The intermediate $a_0(980)$ state can be dynamically generated from the final state interactions of coupled $K bar{K}$ and $pi eta$ channels, and it is shown that the experimental data can be described fairly well, which supports the interpretation of $a_0(980)$ as a molecular state.
The reaction pd->3He eta at threshold was used to provide a clean source of eta mesons for decay studies with the WASA detector at CELSIUS. The branching ratio of the decay eta->pi+pi-e+e- is measured to be (4.3+/-1.3+/-0.4)x10^-4.
