We compute the decay rates for the exclusive decays $B^{\pm} \to (\eta^{\prime},\eta) (K^{\pm}, K^{*\pm})$ and $B^{0}\to (\eta^{\prime},\eta) (K^{0}, K^{*0})$ in a QCD-improved factorization framework by including the contribution from the…
We consider the semileptonic and nonleptonic $D_s$ decay modes to final states with $\eta$ and $\eta^\prime$. We use QCD sum rules to determine the $D_s \to \eta$ form factor $f_+^\eta$, and a generalized factorization ansatz to compute…
We calculate the so-called hard spectator corrections in ${\cal O} (\alpha_s)$ in the leading-twist approximation to the decay widths for $B \to K^{*} \gamma$ and $B \to \rho \gamma$ decays and their charge conjugates, using the Large…
We analyze quasi-two-body charmless $B$ decays $B_{(s)} \to P_1 V \to P_1 P_2 P_3$ with $V$ representing a vector resonant, and $P_{1,2,3}$ as a light pseudo-scalar meson, pion, kaon or $\eta^{(\prime)}$. The intermediate processes $B_{(s)}…
We study the $B^- \to K^- \eta \eta_c$ decay by taking into account the $S$-wave contributions from the pseudoscalar meson-pseudoscalar meson interactions within the unitary coupled-channel approach, where the $D\bar{D}$ bound state is…
We study exclusive nonleptonic and semileptonic decays of the Bc-meson within a relativistic constituent quark model previously developed by us. For the nonleptonic decays we use the factorizing approximation. We update our model parameters…
We examine our previous conjecture that the eta' intermediate resonance has the dominant role in the long distance contributions to B decay into two photons and a strange final state hadron. We calculate the branching ratio of the exclusive…
We calculate the CP averaged branching ratios and CP-violating asymmetries for $B^0 \to \eta \eta, \eta \eta^\prime$ and $\eta^\prime \eta^\prime$ decays by employing the perturbative QCD (pQCD) factorization approach. The pQCD predictions…
We study the radiative $B \to K \eta^{(\prime)} \gamma$ decays, which are important to investigate CP violation, and are also relevant to assess the role of the exclusive modes induced by the $b \to s \gamma$ transition to saturate the…
In this work, we investigate the quasi-two-body decays $B_c\to D^*h\to D\pi h$ with $h = (K^0,\pi^0,\eta,\eta^{\prime})$ using the perturbative QCD(PQCD) approach. The description of final state interactions between the $D\pi$ pair is…
Within the framework of perturbative QCD approach, we study the charmless two-body decays into final states involving one axial-vector (A), $a_1(1260)$ or $b_1(1235)$, and one vector (V), namely $\rho(\omega,\phi)$. Using the decays…
We study the $B\to \phi K_S$ and $B\to \ep K_S$ decays in MSSM by calculating hadronic matrix elements of operators with QCD factorization approach and including neutral Higgs boson (NHB) contributions. We calculate the Wilson coefficients…
We extract $\eta$-$\eta^\prime$ mixing angle and the ratios of decay constants of light pseudoscalar mesons $\pi^0$, $\eta$ and $\eta^\prime$ using recently available BaBar measurements on $\eta$-photon and $\eta^\prime$-photon transition…
Based on the assumption of two-quark structure for the light scalar mesons, within the framework of perturbative QCD approach, we investigate the $B_{q}\to D_{(s)}^{(*)} S(q=u,d,s)$ decays induced by $b\to u $ transition, where $S$ denotes…
We investigate the effect of the current measurement of the neutral $B_s$ meson mass difference, $\Delta M_{B_s}$, on SUGRA models which have non-zero values of the soft breaking terms $(m^2_{LL,RR})_{23}$ and $A^{u,d}_{23}$ at the GUT…
Two-body charmless nonleptonic decays of the B_s meson are studied within the framework of generalized factorization in which factorization is applied to the tree level matrix elements while the effective Wilson coefficients are $\mu$ and…
We search for B meson decays into two-body combinations of eta, eta', omega, and phi mesons from 89 million B B-bar pairs collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e+e- collider at SLAC. We find the branching…
The $\Delta S = 2$ $b \to \bar d ss$ transition proceeds via the box - diagram in the Standard Model with a branching ratio calculated to be below $10^{-11}$, thus providing an appropriate testing ground for physics beyond the Standard…
The branching ratios for the neutral and charged B decay channels to $\eta' K$ and $\eta K^*$ are well above the Standard Model expectations. Moreover, the mixing-induced CP asymmetry in $B \to \phi K_S$ is incompatible to that found in…
