We calculate the branching ratios and CP asymmetries of the $B \to \pi \rho$, $\pi\omega $ decays in the perturbative QCD factorization approach up to the next-to-leading-order contributions. We find that the next-to-leading-order…

We recalculate the branching ratio and CP asymmetry for $\bar{B}^{0} (B^{0})\to \pi^{0}\pi^{0}$ decays in the Perturbative QCD approach. In this approach, we consider all the possible diagrams including non-factorizable contributions and…

We report on a search for the decay $B^0\to\rho^0\rho^0$ and other charmless modes with a $\pi^+\pi^-\pi^+\pi^-$ final state, including $B^0\to\rho^0\pi^+\pi^-$, non-resonant $B^0\to 4\pi^{\pm}$, $B^0\to\rho^0f_0(980)$, $B^0\to…

Deviations from the standard model prediction have been observed in several leptonic and semileptonic $B$ meson decays to $\tau\nu$ final states mediated via $b \to u$ and $b \to c$ charged current interactions. The measured value of ratio…

We analyse the $B \to K\pi$ decays using the factorisation model with final state interaction phase shift included. We find that factorisation seems to describe qualitatively the latest CLEO data. For a test of the factorisation model, we…

By analysing 6.1 ${\rm fb}^{-1}$ of data collected at center-of-mass energies between $\sqrt{s}=4.600$ and 4.843 $\rm GeV$ with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, we observe the decay $\Lambda_c^+\to n\pi^+\eta$ for the first time…

A search for the decay B+- to K+-K+-pi-+ was performed using data collected by the OPAL detector at LEP. These decays are strongly suppressed in the Standard Model but could occur with a higher branching ratio in supersymmetric models,…

We report results from a study of $B^\pm \rightarrow DK^\pm$ decays followed by $D$ decaying to $CP$~eigenstates, where $D$ indicates a $D^0$ or $\bar{D}^{0}$ meson. These decays are sensitive to the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa…

We extend our recent work and study implications of the Standard Model with four generations (SM4) for rare B and K decays. We again take seriously the several 2-3 $\sigma$ anomalies seen in B, $B_s$ decays and interpret them in the context…

We study $B\to \phi K$ and $B\to \phi X_s$ decays in the heavy quark limit using perturbative QCD. The next leading order corrections introduce substantial modifications to the naive factorization results (more than 50%). The branching…

Recently Belle has established the 90% confidence level (CL) upper limit $\b < 9.4 \times 10^{-7}$ for the branching ratio for $B^0\to J/\psi \phi$, a process expected to be suppressed by the Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka (OZI) rule disfavoring…

We report measurements of the branching fractions and direct $\it{CP}$ asymmetries of the decays $B^0 \to K^+ \pi^-$, $B^+ \to K^+ \pi^0$, $B^+ \to K^0 \pi^+$, and $B^0 \to K^0 \pi^0$, and use these for testing the standard model through an…

With the full $\babar$ data sample of 465 million BaBar pairs, we observe the decays B+- ->phi(1020) K_1(1270)+- and B+- ->phi(1020) K_2*(1430) +-. We measure the branching fractions (6.1+-1.6+-1.1)\times 10^{-6} and (8.4+- 1.9+- 0.9)\times…

The ratio of branching fractions of $B_c^+ \to B_s^0 \pi^+$ and $B_c^+ \to J/\psi \pi^+$ decays is measured with proton-proton collision data of a centre-of-mass energy of $13\text{TeV}$. The data were collected with the LHCb experiment…
