So the DE photons come only from the virtual particles and IB from the fully formed ones? How do you differentiate between these two modes experimentally?

Let's take for example the decay K+ -> pi+,pi0,gamma This can proceed via direct emission or inner bremsstrahlung. I have questions for each of these modes 1. For inner bremsstrahlung, it is a final charged product that radiates, correct? In this case the pi+. What is causing the...

Could somebody explain how an imaginary phase in some of the CKM matrix elements represents a CP-violation factor?

Perfect. That was exactly the explanation I was looking for. Thanks blechman

Would somebody be kind enough to explain what exactly is meant when discussing short- or long-distance contributions/effects to branching ratio calculations?
