$B$ mesogenesis offers an interesting mechanism to generate the baryon asymmetry of the universe by converting the CP violation of the Standard Model into a net baryon number asymmetry. In this work we refine and extend the $B$ mesogenesis…
We present within the Standard Model the exclusive radiative decays B -> K*/rho gamma and B_(s/d) -> gamma gamma in QCD factorization based on the heavy-quark limit m_b >> Lambda_QCD. For the decays with a vector meson in the final state we…
B_c mesons are laboratories for probing heavy quark physics. Furthermore, they decay into charmonia and hence their decays can be used to analyze possible exotic charmonium. In this work, the semileptonic decays of B_c mesons into P wave…
We study M1-transitions involving mesons: $B_c(1s)$, $B_c^*(1s)$, $B_c(2s)$, $B_c^*(2s)$, $B_c(3s)$ and $B_c^*(3s)$ in the relativistic independent quark (RIQ) model based on a flavor independent average potential in the scalar-vector…
We investigate the exclusive semileptonic $B_c\to (D,\eta_c,B,B_s)\ell\nu_\ell$, $\eta_b\to B_c\ell\nu_\ell$($\ell=e,\mu,\tau$) decays using the light-front quark model constrained by the variational principle for the QCD motivated…

In this paper, we study the FCNC decay processes of $B$ and $B_c$ meson, in which one invisible particle is emitted. Both the spin-0 and spin-1 cases are considered. The model-independent effective Lagrangian is introduced to describe the…
The role of inelastic final state interactions in CP asymmetries is investigated in single isospin two-body hadronic decays of the B meson. We demonstrate that in a channel where the CP asymmetry vanishes in absence of inelastic final state…
In this paper, we study the light scalar and pseudoscalar invisible particles in the flavor changing neutral current processes of the $B_c$ meson. Effective operators are introduced to describe the couplings between quarks and light…

The $W$-exchange process $B_{s}$ ${\to}$ ${\eta}_{c}(J/{\psi})D$ is studied with the perturbative QCD approach. Three kinds of wave functions for $B_{s}$ meson and two forms of wave functions for charmonium are considered. It is estimated…
I present some recent measurements of B meson decay rates to leptonic and charmless hadronic final states, as well as of CP-violation charge asymmetries and other features. I sketch the theoretical frameworks used to predict these, and…
The role of B decays in the study of CP violation is reviewed. We treat the interactions and spectroscopy of the $b$ quark and then introduce CP violation in $B$ meson decays, including time-dependences, decays to CP eigenstates and…
We discuss prospects for detecting the two charm-related phenomena of $D^0$-${\bar D}^0$ mixing and weak radiative decays of $D$ mesons ({\it e.g.} $D\to K^* + \gamma$). A general update of particle-antiparticle mixing for the pseudoscalar…
Phenomenological CP-violating parameters in decays of neutral B-mesons are discussed. Special attention is given to the degree of their measurability. We emphasize important role of the sign of $\Delta m_B$ and suggest how it could be…
We investigate the radiative dileptonic decays $B_s(B_d)\to\gamma l^+l^-$ within the standard model. Using the constituent quark model, the branching ratios turn out to be around $5\times 10^{-9}$ for $B_s\to \gamma \mu^+\mu^- $ and around…
We examine the prospects for observing weak flavour-changing neutral current (FCNC) decays of \B\ mesons at hadron colliders, including effects of anomalous $WWZ$~vertices. Since it is very difficult to measure the inclusive rate $B…
In this work we tried to predict the parameters of $B^{*}_c$ meson. Simple assumptions gave us following parametres $m_{B_{c}^{*}}=6329\pm 10$ MeV and $f_{B_{c}^{*}}= 535.5\pm57.8$ MeV (for $\Lambda_{B_{c}^{*}}=2.26\pm 0.14$ GeV in…
We explore the possibility of using CP violation in B decays to detect the presence of physics beyond the Standard Model. We first study the possibility of new physics in the $B-\bar B$ mixing amplitude. We discuss a construction to extract…
