Rare radiative decay $\phi\to\eta\pi^0\gamma$ was studied with SND detector at {VEPP-2M} electron-positron collider and its branching ratio was measured: $B(\phi\to\eta\pi^0\gamma)=(0.88\pm0.14\pm0.09)\cdot 10^{-4}$. Significant…

Observation is reported for a structure near the $J/\psi\phi$ threshold in $B^+\rightarrow J/\psi\phi K^+$ decays produced in $\bar{p} p $ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=1.96 \TeV$ with a statistical significance of beyond 5 standard deviations.

The covariant density matrix formalism is used to obtain the joint angular distribution of the decay B_s -> J/\psi \phi(1020) with subsequent \phi -> \rho \pi and J/\psi -> \ell^+ \ell^- decays. The result is shown algebraically to be a…

Measurements of the $B_s^0$--$\bar{B}_s^0$ mixing phase $\phi_s$ appear to be converging towards the SM prediction, suggesting that contributions from New Physics (NP), if present, are small. This poses the question of whether smallish NP…

We study the loop induced rare decays $B_s(B_d)\to\gamma\nu\bar\nu$ within the standard model. Both constituent quark model and pole model are used and the branching ratios turn out to be of the orders of $10^{-8}$ for $B_s\to \gamma \nu…

We present measurements of the branching fractions for the $J/\psi$ meson decays into the $\rho\eta$ and $\phi\eta$ final states, based on data collected with the KEDR detector at the VEPP-4M collider. The data set consisted of 4.93 million…

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…

Motivated by the first LHCb searches for the rare $\bar{B}_{s,d}^{0} \to J/\psi\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ decays, we perform a detailed study of these processes within the QCD factorization formalism. Since the transverse size of the $J/\psi$ meson is…

Motivated by the experimental study of $J/\psi\to\gamma ~+$ invisible decay by the CLEO Collaboration, we analyze the process $J/\psi\to \gamma \nu\bar{\nu}$, as the standard model background for this invisible decay, at the lowest order.…

The decays of $J/\psi \to \omega K\bar{K}\pi$ and $J/\psi \to \phi K\bar{K}\pi$ are studied using $5.8 \times 10^{7}$ $J/\psi$ events collected with the Beijing Spectrometer (BESII) at the Beijing Electron-Positron Collider (BEPC). The…

We present preliminary results on the branching fractions $BF(B^0\to D_s^{\ast+} D^{\ast-})$ and $BF(D_s^+\to\phi\pi^+)$, based on a data sample of approximately $124\times10^6$ \BB events collected by the \babar detector at the PEP-II $e^+…

The $J/\Psi$ decay into a baryon pair and a pseudoscalar meson is computed, for some channels, in lowest order in perturbative QCD, modeling the baryon with a quark-diquark system. We use a set of parameters that has been proposed by some…
