Several baryons containing a heavy b-quark, the b-baryons, have been discovered. The charmless two-body decays of b-baryons can provide a new platform for CP violating studies in a similar way as charmless two-body decays of B-meson. In…
Studies of angular and time distributions and CP-violating observables in $B_s\to J/\psi \phi$ decays yield a space of parameters which can be considerably reduced if relative strong phases among different amplitudes are specified. We show…
The QCD factorization (QCDF) method usually contains infrared divergences which introduce large model dependence to its predictions on charmless B decays. The amplitudes of charmless B decays can be decomposed into "tree" and "penguin"…
This paper is the extension of our previous work [arXiv:2108.03296] entitled Searching a systematics for nonfactorizable contributions to B hadronic decays. In order to realize the full impact of isospin analysis, and to relate decays of…
It is well known that one can use B -> pi pi decays to probe the CP-violating phase \alpha. In this paper we show that these same decays can be used to search for new physics. This is done by comparing two weak phases which are equal in the…
We perform a detailed analysis of flavour changing neutral current processes in the charm sector in the context of 331 models. As pointed out recently, in the case of $Z^\prime$ contributions in these models there are no new free parameters…
Semileptonic Flavor Changing Neutral Current decays of charmed hadrons uniquely probe the up-sector of the Standard Model. Clean null test observables, such as CP-asymmetries, lepton-universality ratios, missing energy modes, lepton flavor…
Using the QCD factorization approach, we reexamine the two-body hadronic charmless $B$-meson decays to final states involving a pseudoscalar~($P$) and a vector~($V$) meson, with inclusion of the penguin contractions of spectator-scattering…
Within the framework of $SU(3)$ flavor symmetry, we investigate two-body doubly charmful baryonic $B\to{\bf B}_c\bar{\bf B}'_c$ decays, where ${\bf B}_c\bar{\bf B}'_c$ represents the anti-triplet charmed dibaryon. We determine the $SU(3)_f$…

New data on the decays of the charmed particles $D^0$, $D^+$, and $D_s$ to pairs of light pseudoscalar mesons $P$ allow the testing of flavor symmetry and the extraction of key amplitudes. Information on relative strong phases is obtained.…
Electroweak penguin (EWP) amplitudes are studied model-independently in $B$ meson decays to charmless final states consisting of a vector meson ($V$) and a pseudoscalar meson ($P$). A set of SU(3) relations is derived between EWP…
Flavour Changing Neutral Current (FCNC) decays are forbidden at lowest perturbative order in the Standard Model (SM) and only allowed via quantum loops. These transitions are therefore heavily suppressed in the SM, and New Physics (NP) can…
We review the perturbative QCD approach study of hadronic B decays. Utilizing the constrained parameters in these well measured decay channels, we study most of the possible charmless $B_s \to PP$, $PV$ and $VV$ decay channels in the…
We consider three possible scenarios of new physics in B^0_d-\bar{B}^0_d mixing and propose a simple framework for analyzing their effects. This framework allows us to study the CP asymmetry in semileptonic B_d decays ({\cal A}_{SL}) and…
I propose an alternative method for measuring the $CP$ violating phase $\phi_2$ ($\alpha$) without ambiguity in an extended SU(3) flavour symmetry analysis, which can ultimately be achieved by exploiting interference effects between $B \to…
The observation of $D^0 - \bar D^0$ oscillations has left us in a tantalizing quandary concerning the theoretical interpretation: are they still compatible with the SM or might they require new dynamics (NP)? A comprehensive search for CP…
In 1998, it was shown that, if flavor SU(3) symmetry [SU(3)$_F$] is assumed in charmless $B \to PP$ decays ($P$ is a light pseudoscalar meson), some reduced matrix elements involving electroweak penguin (EWP) operators are related to those…
The measured value of A_b, the Z \bar bb asymmetry parameter, disagrees with the Standard Model at 99% confidence level. If genuine the discrepancy could indicate new interactions unique to third generation quarks, implying enhanced Z…
