There are many charmless B decay pairs whose amplitudes are related by U spin (d <--> s) or flavor SU(3). The theoretical uncertainty in any analysis involving such pairs must take into account U-spin/SU(3) breaking. In the past, such…

The status of exclusive two-body and three-body baryonic B decays is reviewed. The threshold enhancement effect in the dibaryon invariant mass and the angular distributions in the dibaryon rest frame are stressed and explained. Weak…

We present preliminary results of a search for charmless two-body B decays to charged pions and kaons using data collected by the BABAR detector at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center's PEP-II storage ring. In a sample of 8.8 million…

The charmless three-body decays $B^0_{(s)} \to K_{\mathrm{\scriptscriptstyle S}}^0 h^+ h^{\prime -}$ (where $h^{(\prime)} = \pi, K$) are analysed using a sample of $pp$ collision data recorded by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an…

We study radiative charm decays $D \to P_1 P_2 \gamma$, $P_{1,2}=\pi,K$ in QCD factorization at leading order and within heavy hadron chiral perturbation theory. Branching ratios including resonance contributions are around $\sim 10^{-3}$…

We study the contributions of the $B\rightarrow \psi(3770)K[\psi(3770)\rightarrow D\bar{D}]$, $B\rightarrow K^*(1410)\pi[K^*(1410)\rightarrow K\pi]$ and $B\rightarrow X(3872)K[X(3872)\rightarrow J/\psi\gamma, \psi(2S)\gamma, D\bar{D}\pi,…

We summarize recent results of baryonic B decays from Belle and BaBar. The results from Belle are based on 140 /fb and results from BaBar are based on 81 /fb of data collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance at KEKB or PEPII respectively. We…

We study the baryonic charmonium decays of B mesons, B+ to etac K+ and B+ to J/psi K+, where the etac and J/psi subsequently decay into a p pbar or Lambda Lambdabar pair. We measure the J/psi to p pbar, Lambda Lambdabar anisotropy…

We present a comprehensive review of purely leptonic and semileptonic decays of $D^{0(+)}$, $D_s^{+}$, and charmed baryons (including $\Lambda_c^{+}$, $\Xi_c$ and $\Omega_c$). The precise studies of these decays help deepen our…

We present measurements of branching fractions and charge asymmetries for charmless B-meson decays to three-body final states of charged pions and kaons. The analysis uses 81.8 fb^-1 of data collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the…

We have fully reconstructed decays of both B0 and B- Mesons into final states containing either D, D*, D**, Psi, Psi', or Chi_{c1} mesons. This allows us to obtain new results on many physics topics including branching ratios, tests of the…

Motivated by the very recent measurement of the branching ratio of ${B_d^0} \to J/\psi \eta$ decay, we calculate the branching ratios of ${B_d}^0 \to J/\psi \eta$ and ${B_d}^0 \to J/\Psi \eta'$ decays in the perturbative QCD (pQCD)…

We study the quasi-two-body $D\to SP$ decays and the three-body $D$ decays proceeding through intermediate scalar resonances, where $S$ and $P$ denote scalar and pseudoscalar mesons, respectively. Our main results are: (i) Certain external…

We present a measurement of the branching fraction for the decay of the neutral $B$ meson into the final state $J/\psi\pi^+\pi^-$. The data set contains approximately 56 million $B\bar{B}$ pairs produced at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance and…

Branching fractions of the decays $H_b\to H_c\pi^-\pi^+\pi^-$ relative to $H_b\to H_c\pi^-$ are presented, where $H_b$ ($H_c$) represents B^0-bar($D^+$), $B^-$ ($D^0$), B_s^0-bar ($D_s^+$) and $\Lambda_b^0$ ($\Lambda_c^+$). The measurements…

We study four quasi-two-body decay processes including $D^\ast_0(2400)$ as the intermediate state in perturbative QCD (PQCD) approach. The branching fraction predicted in this work for the decay mode $B^-\to D^{*}_0(2400)^0\pi^-\to…

LHCb has recently reported the first observation of a four-body baryonic $B\to{\bf B_1\bar B'_1 B_2\bar B'_2}$ decay, where ${\bf B_1\bar B'_1}$ and ${\bf B_2\bar B'_2}$ represent the two pairs of octet baryon states. In our classification,…

In this work, the strong decay behaviors of the $\lambda-$mode low-lying $\Xi_{b}$ and $\Xi_{b}^\prime$ baryons are investigated within the $^3P_0$ model. Our results suggest that all of the low-lying $\bar 3_F$ states $\Xi_b(2S)$,…
