I discuss strategies to determine hadronic decay couplings from lattice studies. As a check of the methods, I explore the decay of a vector meson to two pseudoscalar mesons with $N_f=2$ flavours of sea quark. Although we are working with…

The renormalon calculus is used to calculate the terms of order $\beta_0^{n-1}\alpha_s^n$ in the perturbative expansions of the Wilson coefficients and hard-scattering kernels entering the QCD factorization formula for hadronic B-meson…

We present an update on the meson mass spectra calculation with the light-front quark model constrained by the variational principle for the QCD-motivated effective Hamiltonian. By smearing out the Dirac delta function in the hyperfine…

We study QCD in 1+1 dimensions in the large $N_c$ limit using light-front Hamiltonian perturbation theory in the $1/N_c$ expansion. We use this formalism to exactly compute hadronic transition matrix elements for arbitrary currents at…

The relativistic quark model is used to study the processes of heavy tetraquark $(cc\bar{c}\bar{c})$ production in the Higgs boson decay. We consider quark-gluon, ZZ-boson, and quark-gluon loop decay mechanisms with the production of a…

A systematic calculation for the transition form factors of heavy to light mesons ($B,B_s,D,D_s \to \pi, K, \eta, \rho, K^*, \omega, \phi$) is carried out by using light-cone sum rules in the framework of heavy quark effective field theory.…

Phases of elements of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix can be obtained using decays of $B$ mesons to $\pi^+ \pi^-$, $\pi^\pm K^\mp$, and $\pi^+ K^0$ or $\pi^- \overline{K}^0$. For $B^0~{\rm or}~ \overline{B}^0 \to \pi^+ \pi^-$,…

Inspired by recent BESIII's amplitude analysis on $D_s^+\to\pi^+\pi^0\pi^0$, we develop a model based on the chiral unitary approach to discribe the $D_s^+\to\pi^+\pi^0\pi^0$ decay, where $D_s^+$ decays into a $\pi^+$ and a quark-antiquark…

Abundant phenomenology suggests that strong decays from relatively low-excitation hadrons into other hadrons proceed by the creation of a light quark-antiquark pair with zero total angular momentum, the so called $^3P_0$ mechanism…

We employ a Dyson-Schwinger equation model to effect a unified and uniformly accurate description of light- and heavy-meson observables, which we characterise by heavy-meson leptonic decays, semileptonic heavy-to-heavy and heavy-to-light…

Final state interactions are considered to formulate the $B$ meson decay amplitude for the $K\pi\pi$ channel. The Faddeev decomposition of the Bethe-Salpeter equation is used in order to build a relativistic three-body model within the…

Analyticity and unitarity techniques are employed to obtain bounds on the shape parameters of the scalar and vector form factors of semileptonic $K_{l3}$ decays. For this purpose we use vector and scalar correlators evaluated in pQCD, a low…

A symmetry-preserving treatment of a vector$\times$vector contact interaction is used to compute spectra of ground-state $J^P = 0^\pm, 1^\pm$ $(f\bar g)$ mesons, their partner diquark correlations, and $J^P=1/2^\pm, 3/2^\pm$ $(fgh)$…

Semileptonic decays $D\to K,K^*,\pi,\rho$, $D_s\to \eta,\eta',\phi$, and $B\to D,D^*,\pi,\rho$ are analyzed within the dispersion formulation of the quark model. The form factors at timelike $q$ are derived by the analytical continuation…

The decay rates of $Q \bar Q$ mesons ($Q \varepsilon {c, b}$) are studied in the NRQCD formalism in terms of their short distance and long distance coefficients. The long distance coefficients are obtained through phenomenological potential…

Theoretical analysis of three exclusive decays, $B_{c}\to J/\psi+\mathcal{R},$where $\mathcal{R}=K+4\pi,$$KK+3\pi$, or $7\pi$, is given. Using the factorization method and the resonance approximation (methods proved to be very useful in the…

Within the framework of the QCD sum rules, we consider the three-point correlation function, work at the limit q^2 -> 0 and m_\pi -> 0, and pick out the singular term ~ {1\over q^2} to extract the pionic coupling constants of the 1^{-+}…

We present our result for the $K\to\pi\pi$ decay amplitudes for both the $\Delta I=1/2$ and $3/2$ processes with the improved Wilson fermion action. In order to realize the physical kinematics, where the pions in the final state have finite…

To date, the weak-phase $\gamma$ has been measured using two-body $B$-meson decays such as $B\to D K$ and $B\to D\pi$, whose amplitudes contain only tree-level diagrams. But $\gamma$ can also be extracted from three-body charmless hadronic…
