Two pion effective mass and helicity angle distributions in the charged B-meson decays into three charged pions are studied. The weak decay amplitudes are calculated in the framework of the QCD factorization approximation. The strong…
We report the first observation of two charmed strange baryons that decay into $\Lambda_c^+ K^-\pi^+$. The broader of the two states is measured to have a mass of $2978.5\pm 2.1\pm 2.0$ MeV/$c^2$ and a width of $43.5\pm 7.5\pm 7.0$…
The decays $B^+\rightarrow J/\psi \pi^+ \pi^- K^+$ are studied using a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9fb$^{-1}$ collected with the LHCb detector in proton-proton collisions between 2011 and 2018. Precise measurements…

The Lambdac(2940)+ baryon with quantum numbers J(P) = 1/2(+) is considered as a hadronic molecule composed of a nucleon and D* meson. We give predictions for the width of the strong three-body decay processes Lambdac(2940)+ to…
Motivated by the newly observed narrow structures $\Omega_b(6316)^-$, $\Omega_b(6330)^-$, $\Omega_b(6340)^-$, and $\Omega_b(6350)^-$ in the $\Xi_b^0 K^-$ mass spectrum, we investigate the strong decays of the low-lying $\Omega_b$ states…

psi and Upsilon decays may be used to search for light neutral spin-1 or spin-0 bosons associated with a broken extra-U(1) symmetry, local or global, acting axially on quarks and leptons, as may be present in supersymmetric theories with a…
We present measurements of B meson decays to the final states omegaK*, omegarho, and omega f_0, where K* indicates a spin 0, 1, or 2 strange meson. The data sample corresponds to 465x10^6 BBbar pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the…
Masses and decay constants of scalar $D_0$ and $D_{s0}$ mesons in isospin asymmetric strange hadronic matter at finite temperature are evaluated using QCD sum rules and chiral SU(3) model. In-medium light quark condensates, $\left\langle…
We provide an in-detail derivation through the $^3P_0$ pair creation model of the transition matrix for a baryon decaying into a meson-baryon system. The meson's analysis was conducted in Ref. [1] and we extend the same formalism to the…

We perform a detailed study of the decays of the heavier top and bottom squarks (stop_2 and sbottom_2) in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). We show that the decays into Higgs or gauge bosons can be dominant in a wide range…

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…
The mass shifts of the $P$-wave $D_s$ and $B_s$ mesons due to coupling to $DK$, $D^*K$ and $BK$, $B^*K$ channels are studied using the chiral quark-pion Lagrangian without fitting parameters. The strong mass shifts down $\sim 140$ MeV and…
We report on a study of $B$ mesons decaying into one of the narrow P-wave charm resonances, $D_2^{*}(2460)^{0}$ and $D_1(2420)^0$. Our preliminary results are based on 89 million \BB pairs collected with the \babar detector at the PEP-II…
