We study the quasi-two-body decays $B\to P D^{\ast}_0(2400) \to P D\pi $ with $P=(\pi, K, \eta, \eta^{\prime})$ in the perturbative QCD factorization approach. The predicted branching fractions for the considered decays are in the range of…

Decays of $B$ mesons with leptons in the final state offer an interesting laboratory to search for possible effects of physics from beyond the Standard Model. In view of puzzling patterns in experimental data, the violation of lepton…
The implications of the family non-universal $Z^\prime$ model in the $B\to K_{1}(1270,1400)\ell^{+}\ell^{-}(\ell=e\,,\mu\,,\tau)$ decays are explored, where the mass eigenstates $K_{1}(1270,1400)$ are the mixtures of $^{1}{P}_{1}$ and…
A brief account of the study of rare B decay $B \to K^\ast \ell^+ \ell^-$ using soft-collinear effective theory (SCET) is presented. Theoretical underpinning of this work is a factorization formula, derived to leading power in $1/m_b$ and…
We study exclusive $B_s$ decays to final states with $\eta$ and $\eta^\prime$, induced by the rare $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ and $b \to s \nu \bar \nu$ transitions. Differential decay rates and total branching fractions are predicted in the…

B -> K pi and related decays are studied in the heavy quark limit of QCD using the soft collinear effective theory (SCET). We focus on results that follow solely from integrating out the scale mb, without expanding the amplitudes for the…
The $\eta$-$\eta^\prime$ mixing angle is deduced from an updated phenomenological analysis of $J/\psi$ decays into a vector and a pseudoscalar meson. Corrections due to non-ideal $\omega$-$\phi$ mixing are confirmed to be crucial to find…
In the framework of QCD factorization, we study $B^{+(0)} \to \eta' K^{+(0)}$ decays. In order to more reliably determine the phenomenological parameters $X_H$ and $X_A$ arising from end-point divergences in the hard spectator scattering…
We consider the axial-vector mesons $K_1(1270)$ and $K_1(1400)$ as a mixture of two $|^3P_1\rangle$ and $|^1P_1\rangle$ states with the mixing angle $\theta$ that equal to $(-34\pm 13)^\circ$. We calculate the light-front distribution…
