Consistent Dalitz plot analysis of Cabibbo-favored D+→K¯ππ+ decays by Franz Niecknig, Bastian Kubis

“…The formalism explicitly describes the strong final-state interactions between all three decay products and relies on pion–pion and pion–kaon phase shift input. For the first time, we show that the D+→KSπ0π+ Dalitz plot obtained by the BESIII collaboration as well as the D+→K−π+π+ Dalitz plot data by CLEO and FOCUS can be described consistently, exploiting the isospin relation between the two coupled decay channels that provides better constraints on the subtraction constants. …”

The chiral Lagrangian of CP-violating axion-like particles by Luca Di Luzio, Gabriele Levati, Paride Paradisi

“…After deriving the ALP interactions with mesons and baryons, we analyse a few relevant phenomenological implications such as the permanent electric dipole moments of nucleons and the CP-violating ALP and kaon decays. This work provides the necessary tools for further phenomenological analyses connecting low-energy observables with the couplings of the underlying ultraviolet complete theory.…”
