We establish that the charmed hadrons start dissociating at the chiral crossover temperature, ${T_{pc}}$, leading to the appearance of charm degrees freedom carrying fractional baryon number. Our method is based on analyzing the second and…

We review recent experimental results from CLEO and LEP experiments on hadronic decays of hadrons containing $b$ quarks. We discuss charm counting and the semileptonic branching fraction in $B$ decays and the color suppressed amplitude in…
We present the calculation of the inclusive $x_F$-distributions of charmed hadrons, produced in high-energy $\Sigma^-$-beam. The calculation is based on the modified mechanism of charmed quarks fragmentation as well as on the mechanism of…
The parton model as developed for semileptonic B decays is applied to the inclusive decay B to J/Psi+X. We calculate the momentum spectrum of the J/Psi using a one-parameter distribution function for the heavy quark, taken from production…
We advocate charmed-hadron inclusive hadroproduction as a laboratory to probe intrinsic charm (IC) inside the colliding hadrons. Working at next-to-leading order in the general-mass variable-flavor-number scheme endowed with…
Recent measurements of charm-baryon production in proton-proton collisions at the LHC have found a surprisingly large yield relative to those of $D$-mesons. We propose that this observation can be explained by the statistical hadronization…
Recent results on physics in the charm energy region are reviewed. (1) The new data and puzzles in exclusive hadronic decays of $J/\psi$ and $\psi'$ give new challenges to the theory of hadronic decays. (2) With the new observation for…
Rare $\vert \Delta c \vert=\vert \Delta u \vert=1$ processes uniquely probe flavor in the Standard Model and beyond from the up-type quark sector. Opportunities to search for BSM physics in charm arise from the severe GIM suppression which…
The experimental observations of $\psi_2(3823)$ and $\psi_3(3842)$ make $D$ wave charmonia family abundant. In the present work, we investigate the hidden charm decay processes of spin triplets of the $D$-wave charmonia with the meson loop…
Recent $p_{\rm T}$-integrated cross section measurements of the ground-state charm mesons and baryons, D$^{\rm 0}$, D$^+$, D$_{\rm s}^{+}$, $\Lambda_{\rm c}^{+}$, and $\Xi_{\rm c}^0$, are used to evaluate the charm fragmentation fractions…
In the framework of HQET inclusive decays of b-flavored hadrons can be handled as decays of the free b-quark approximately. We analyse the correction to this approximation for the inclusive decays into a polarized $J/\psi$,the correction is…
We study the three-body $\Lambda_b$ decays of $\Lambda_b\to J/\psi pM$ with $M=K^-$ and $\pi^-$. The two new states ${\cal P}_{c1}\equiv {\cal P}_c(4380)^+$ and ${\cal P}_{c2}\equiv {\cal P}_c(4450)^+$ observed recently as the resonances in…
I present predictions for the inclusive production of D mesons at the CERN LHC in the general-mass variable-flavor-number scheme at next-to-leading order. Numerical results are compared to data where available, and uncertainties due to…
After the discovery of the double-charm baryon $\Xi_{cc}^{++}$ by LHCb, one of the most important topics is to search for the bottom-charm baryons which contain a $b$ quark, a $c$ quark and a light quark. In this work, we study the two-body…
In the last years, the need of the colour octet state in inclusive P-wave charmonium decay has been firmly established. However, the implications of this in the corresponding exclusive reactions have not been fully recognized. We argue for…
We present the results of a calculation of the intrinsic charm quark contribution to $J/\psi$ plus open charm associated production at large transverse momentum in hadron collisions at high energies. It is shown that the value of the cross…
We discuss the determination of the CKM phase gamma through the decay B- -> K- D0 and related processes. In particular, we consider the use of this methods when the D0 subsequently decays to an inclusive state. We emphasize that strong…
We demonstrate that exclusive B decays to P-wave charmonium factorize in the non-relativistic limit provided that colour-octet contributions are taken into account, and estimate the branching fractions. Although there are very large…
The present NLL prediction for the decay rate of the rare inclusive process $\bar B \to X_s \gamma$ has a large uncertainty due to the charm mass renormalization scheme ambiguity. We estimate that this uncertainty will be reduced by a…
