The nonet symmetry scheme seems to describe rather well the masses and $\eta-\eta^{\prime}$ mixing angle of the ground state pseudo-scalar mesons. It is expected that nonet symmetry should also be valid for the matrix elements of the…
We study the contributions for $K\eta^{\prime}$ pair originating from the scalar intermediate state $K_0^{*}(1430)$ in the three-body decays $B\to K\eta^{\prime} h$ ($h=\pi, K$) within the perturbative QCD approach. The contribution of…
We study semileptonic decays $B^\pm \to \eta^{(\prime)} l \nu$, which are suggested to be used to extract the hadronic form factors of $B$ meson decays to $\eta(\eta^{\prime})$ and the angle of $\eta-\eta^{\prime}$ mixing. This would be of…
We show that $D\rightarrow P\eta^\prime$ decay amplitudes, where $P=K,\pi,\eta$, cannot be simply related to their $D\rightarrow P\eta$ counterparts with a single $\eta_0$--$\eta_8$ mixing angle. We propose a novel, consistent treatment of…
We have performed a numerical analysis of branching ratios and direct CP-asymmetries of B meson decays to two light pseudoscalar nonets with deltaS=1 using QCD improved factorization. The parameters related to B meson including its…
Motivated by the large branching ratios observed for the process $B\to\eta^{\prime}K$, we examine critically all the ingredients that go into estimates of B decays into two light pseudoscalars. Within factorization approximation, we examine…
In a sample of 19 million produced B mesons we have observed decays B -> eta K*, and improved our previous measurements of B -> eta' K. The branching fractions we measure for these decay modes are B(B+ -> eta K*+) = (27.3 +9.6 -8.2 (stat)…
In light of the recent experimental data from $B$ factories, We try to explain the large branching ratio (compared to the Standard Model prediction) of the decay $B^{\pm}\to \eta' K^{\pm}$ in the context of R-parity violating ($\rpv$)…
I present a consistent way to include $\eta$-$\eta^\prime$ mixing in global analyses of two-body decays of heavy hadrons employing the approximate flavour-SU(3) symmetry of QCD. The framework is applied to $D\to P \eta^\prime$ decays, where…
Motivated by more precise recent measurements of the $B \to \eta \ell \nu$ and $D_{(s)} \to \eta^{(\prime)}\ell \nu$ decays, we employ state-of-the-art parametrizations to describe the $B_{(s)}, D_{(s)} \to \eta^{(\prime)}$ form factors…
We examine the large branching ratio for the process $B\to \eta^{\prime} K$ from the standpoint of R parity violating supersymmetry. We have given all possible $R_p$ violating contributions to $B\to \eta^{\prime} K$ amplitudes. We find that…
We study $B\to J/\Psi \eta^{(\prime)}$ decays and suggest two methods to determine the $\eta-\eta^{\prime}$ mixing angle. We calculate not only the factorizable contribution in QCD facorization scheme but also the nonfactorizable hard…
Radial mixing in the pseudoscalar $\eta-\eta^{\prime}$ systems can be generated from hyperfine interactions and annihilation terms. For the $\eta-\eta^{\prime}$ system we find the effects of radial mixing are appreciable and seriously…
The observation by the CLEO Collaboration of the decays $B^{(+,0)} \to K^{(+,0)} \eta'$ is shown to imply a significant but still uncertain contribution from the flavor-SU(3)-singlet component of the $\eta'$. By comparing the rate for these…
In this paper we perform a comprehensive study of the four $B \to K \etap$ decays in the pQCD factorization approach. We calculate the CP-averaged branching ratios and CP-violating asymmetries of $B \to K\etap$ decays in the ordinary…
We study exclusive non-leptonic two-body $B_c\to(D_{(s)},\eta_c,B_{(s)})+F$ decays with $F$(pseudoscalar or vector meson) being factored out in QCD factorization approach. The non-leptonic decay amplitudes are related to the product of…
