From about 4 million hadronic Z decays recorded by the OPAL detector on and near to the Z resonance, we select a sample of more than 570000 inclusively reconstructed B mesons. Orbitally-excited mesons B*J are reconstructed using Bpi+-…

Besides the conventional strong and electromagnetic decay modes, the $J/{\psi}$ particle can also decay via the weak interaction in the standard model. In this paper, nonleptonic $J/{\psi}$ ${\to}$ $D_{s,d}{\pi}$, $D_{s,d}K$ weak decays,…

The branching ratios and CP asymmetries of $B\to \pi\pi$ decays measured in B factory experiments indicate a large ratio of color-suppressed ($C$) to color-allowed ($T$) tree contributions and a large relative phase between the tree and…

We investigate the $B\to a_1(1260)(b_1(1235))\pi(K)$ decays under the factorization scheme and find many discrepancies between theoretical predictions and the experimental data. In the tree dominated processes, large contributions from…

We analyze the latest LHCb data on the $\pi^+\pi^-$ spectrum in the isospin-violating $X(3872)\to J/\psi \pi^+\pi^-$ decay, based on dispersion theory to deal with the $\pi\pi$ final state interactions. Additionally, the isospin breaking…

The decays B -> D^{**} pi, where D^{**} is a narrow p-wave charm resonance, are investigated in the context of a generalized factorization hypothesis, including the leading nonfactorizable corrections. The decay rates for these processes…

Inspired by the recent measurements on two-body nonleptonic $J/{\psi}$ weak decay at BESIII, the charm-changing $J/{\psi}$ ${\to}$ $D_{s,d}V$ weak decays are studied with perturbative QCD approach, where $V$ denotes ${\rho}$ and $K^{\ast}$…

We calculate the branching ratio of omega --> pi^+ pi^- gamma decay in a phenomenological framework in which the contributions of VMD, chiral loops, sigma-meson intermediate state amplitudes and the effects of omega-rho mixing are…

In terms of effective field theory and mixed propagator approach, we show that there is a larger hidden effect of isospin breaking in $\rho^0\to\pi^0\gamma$ decay due to an $\omega$ exchange, $\rho^0\to\omega\to\pi^0\gamma$. The branching…

We have carried out an evaluation of the $\pi^+ \pi^-$ and $D_s^+ \pi^+$ mass distributions in the $D_{s1}(2536)$ decay to $D_s^+ \pi^+ \pi^-$, from the perspective that the $D_{s1}(2536)$ is a molecular state, mostly made from $K^*D$ in…

If the X(3872) is a loosely-bound molecule of the charm mesons D^0 \bar D^{*0} and D^{*0} \bar D^0, it can decay through the decay of a constituent in a hadronic channel with a nearby threshold, such as J/\psi \omega or J/\psi \rho. The…
