We propose a model for $D^+ to pi^+ pi^- pi^+$ decays following experimental results which indicate that the two-pion interaction in the $S$-wave is dominated by the scalar resonances $f_0(600)/sigma$ and $f_0(980)$. The weak decay amplitude for $D^+to R pi^+$, where $R$ is a resonance that subsequently decays into $pi^+pi^-$, is constructed in a factorization approach. In the $S$-wave, we implement the strong decay $Rto pi^-pi^+$ by means of a scalar form factor. This provides a unitary description of the pion-pion interaction in the entire kinematically allowed mass range $m_{pipi}^2$ from threshold to about 3 GeV$^2$. In order to reproduce the experimental Dalitz plot for $Dppp$, we include contributions beyond the $S$-wave. For the $P$-wave, dominated by the $rho(770)^0$, we use a Breit-Wigner description. Higher waves are accounted for by using the usual isobar prescription for the $f_2(1270)$ and $rho(1450)^0$. The major achievement is a good reproduction of the experimental $m_{pipi}^2$ distribution, and of the partial as well as the total $Dppp$ branching ratios. Our values are generally smaller than the experimental ones. We discuss this shortcoming and, as a byproduct, we predict a value for the poorly known $Dto sigma$ transition form factor at $q^2=m_pi^2$.

The low-energy S-wave component of the decay $D^+ to K^- pi^+ pi^+$ is studied by means of a chiral SU(3)XSU(3) effective theory. As far as the primary vertex is concerned, we allow for the possibility of either direct production of three pseudoscala r mesons or a meson and a scalar resonance. Special attention is paid to final state interactions associated with elastic meson-meson scattering. The corresponding two-body amplitude is unitarized by ressumming s-channel diagrams and can be expressed in terms of the usal phase shifts $delta$. This procedure preserves the chiral properties of the amplitude at low-energies. Final state interactions also involve another phase $omega$, which describes intermediate two-meson propagation and is theoretically unambiguous. This phase is absent in the K-matrix approximation. Partial contributions to the decay amplitude involve a real term, another one with phase $delta$ and several others with phases $delta+omega$. Our main result is a simple and almost model independent chiral generalization of the usual Breit-Wigner expression, suited to be used in analyses of production data involving scalar resonances.
A new approach to the analysis of three body decays is presented. Model-independent results are obtained for the swave $Kpi$ amplitude as a function of $Kpi$ invariant mass. These are compared with results from $Kmpip$ elastic scattering, and the pre diction of the Watson theorem, that the phase behavour be the same below $Keta^{prime}$ threshold, is tested. Contributions from $I=half$ and $I={3over 2}$ are not resolved in this study. If $I=half$ dominates, however, the Watson theorem does not describe these data well.}
We describe the $pipi$ $S$-wave in $D^+ topi^+ pi^- pi^+$ decays using a unitary model for the $pipi$ Final State Interactions (FSI). The three body decay is treated as a quasi two-body process where, at the weak vertex, the D meson decays into a res onance and a pion. The weak part of the decay amplitude is evaluated using the effective weak Hamiltonian within the factorization approximation.
Using proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb^{-1}, the ratio of branching fractions of the B0 -> D*- pi+ pi- pi+ decay relative to the B0 -> D*- pi+ decay is measured to be B(B0 -> D*- pi+ pi- pi+) / B(B0 -> D*- pi+) = 2.64 pm 0.04 (stat.) pm 0.13 (syst.). The Cabibbo-suppressed decay B0 -> D*- K+ pi- pi+ is observed for the first time and the measured ratio of branching fractions is B(B0 -> D*- K+ pi- pi+) / B(B0 -> D*- pi+ pi- pi+) = (6.47 pm 0.37 (stat.) pm 0.35 (syst.)) x 10^{-2}. A search for orbital excitations of charm mesons contributing to the B0 -> D*- pi+ pi- pi+ final state is also performed, and the first observation of the B0 -> Dbar_{1}(2420)^0 pi+ pi- decay is reported with the ratio of branching fractions B(B0 -> (Dbar_{1}(2420)^0 -> D*- pi+) pi- pi+) / B(B0 -> D*- pi+ pi- pi+) = (2.04 pm 0.42 (stat.) pm 0.22 (syst.)) x 10^{-2}, where the numerator represents a product of the branching fractions B(B0 -> Dbar_{1}(2420)^0 pi- pi+) and B(Dbar_{1}(2420)^0 -> D*- pi+).
The decay $D^{+} rightarrow K_{S}^{0} pi^{+} pi^{+} pi^{-}$ is studied with an amplitude analysis using a data set of 2.93${mbox{,fb}^{-1}}$ of $e^+e^+$ collisions at the $psi(3770)$ peak accumulated by the BESIII detector. Intermediate states and no n-resonant components, and their relative fractions and phases have been determined. The significant amplitudes, which contribute to the model that best fits the data, are composed of five quasi-two-body decays $ K_{S}^{0} a_{1}(1260)^{+}$, $ bar{K}_{1}(1270)^{0} pi^{+}$ $ bar{K}_{1}(1400)^{0} pi^{+}$, $ bar{K}_{1}(1650)^{0} pi^{+}$, and $ bar{K}(1460)^{0} pi^{+}$, a three-body decays $K_{S}^{0}pi^{+}rho^{0}$, as well as a non-resonant component $ K_{S}^{0}pi^{+}pi^{+}pi^{-}$. The dominant amplitude is $ K_{S}^{0} a_{1}(1260)^{+}$, with a fit fraction of $(40.3pm2.1pm2.9)%$, where the first and second uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively.
