A measurement of the phase difference between the short- and long-distance contributions to the $B^{+}\to K^{+}\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ decay is performed by analysing the dimuon mass distribution. The analysis is based on $pp$ collision data…

Hadronic decay modes $D^0\to(\bar K^0, \bar K^{*0})\eta,\eta'$ and $(D^+,D_s^+)\to(\pi^+,\rho^+)\eta,\eta'$ are studied in the generalized factorization approach. Form factors for $(D,D_s^+)\to(\eta,\eta')$ transitions are carefully…

We study the hadronic D meson decays into a pseudoscalar meson $P$ and an even-parity meson $M$, where $M$ represents a scalar meson $S$, an axial-vector meson $A$, or a tensor meson $T$. These decays are first analyzed in the…

D^0-\bar{D}^0 mixing at the detectable level or significant CP violation in the charm system may strongly signify the existence of new physics. In view of the large discovery potential associated with the fixed target experiments, the…

While the factorization assumption works well for many two-body nonleptonic $B$ meson decay modes, the recent measurement of $\bar B\to D^{(*)0}M^0$ with $M=\pi$, $\rho$ and $\omega$ shows large deviation from this assumption. We analyze…

Preliminary limits on the D^0 mixing parameter y = \Delta \Gamma / 2 \Gamma are obtained using about 57.8 fb^-1 of data collected by BaBar in 2000 and 2001:y = (1.4 \pm 1.0 (stat.) +0.6 -0.7 (syst.))%. y is extracted, provided that CP is…

Based on a dataset acquired by the BaBar experiment running on and near the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance from 1999-2002, limits are set on the rate of $D^0$-- $\kern 0.2em\bar{\kern -0.2em D}{}^0$ mixing using the decay mode $D^{*+} \to D^0…

The most sensitive experimental searches for $D-\bar D$ mixing use $D^0 \to K^+ \pi^-$ decays. It is often assumed that effects of New Physics and, in particular, CP violation, can appear through the mixing, while the $c \to d u \bar s$…

The first observation of the $B^0_s\to\bar{D}^0 K^0_S$ decay mode and evidence for the $B^0_s\to\bar{D}^{*0} K^0_S$ decay mode are reported. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 $\text{fb}^{-1}$ collected in $pp$…

We present precision corrections to dispersion relation bounds on form factors in bottom hadron semileptonic decays and analyze their effects on parameterizations derived from these bounds. We incorporate QCD two-loop and nonperturbative…

New physics effects may yield a detectable mass difference in the D0-D0bar system, Delta m_D. Here we show that this has an important impact on some B --> D decays. The effect involves a new source of CP violation, which arises from the…

The nonleptonic two body decays $D\to PP$ and $D\to PV$ are investigated based on the diagrammatic decomposition in a generalized factorization formalism. It is shown that to fit the experimental data, the SU(3) flavor symmetry breaking…

We examine the three-body baryonic $\bar B\to {\bf B\bar B'}V$ decays with $V$ vector mesons in the standard model. We can simultaneously explain the recent experimental data on the decays of $B^-\to \Lambda\bar p \,\rho^0$ and $\bar B\to…

We report a measurement of ${D^{0}}$-${\overline{D}{}^{0}}$ mixing parameters and a search for indirect $CP$ violation through a time-dependent amplitude analysis of ${D^0\to K_S^0\pi^+\pi^-}$ decays. The results are based on 921~fb$^{-1}$…

We investigate heavy quark symmetries for heavy meson hadronic molecules, and explore the consequences of assuming the X(3872) and $Z_b(10610)$ as an isoscalar $D\bar D^*$ and an isovector $B\bar B^*$ hadronic molecules, respectively. The…

In this work, we investigate the resonant contributions of $K_0^*(1430)$ and $K_0^*(1950)$ in the three-body $B_{(s)}\to D_{(s)}K\pi$ within the perturbative QCD approach. The form factor $F_{k\pi}(s)$ are adopted to describe the…

Starting from the hypothesis that the $T_{cc}^+$ discovered at LHCb is a $D^{\ast+} D^0/D^{\ast 0}D^+$ hadronic molecule, we consider the partial width of its heavy quark spin partner, the $T_{cc}^{\ast +}$ as a $D^{\ast +} D^{\ast 0}$…
