The hadronization effects induced by different colour connections of $c\bar{c}q\bar{q}$ system in $e^+e^-$ annihilation are investigated by a toy model where diquark fragmentation is employed based on Pythia. It is found that the…
Our study focuses on the weak decay of $ D_s^+ \to p \overline{n} $, which is the only possible two-body baryonic decay in the $ D $ meson system. An analysis using perturbative quantum chromodynamics (pQCD) is challenging in this decay due…
Following the experimental results from LHCb on the rare decay $B^+_c \to K^-K^+\pi^+$, we investigate the possibility where this process is dominated by a double charm rescattering. The $B_c$ decay to double charm channels have a weak…
We review the most recent results from experiments studying systems containing charmed quarks. The selection reflects the presenter's bias, and there is an emphasis on decays of open charm. We discuss precision measurements of various…
We present new results on hadronic B and D decays from the BABAR experiment. The first part of this document presents searches for new channels which may be used for CP measurements. The second part is dedicated to hadronic decays with…
The dependence of inclusive weak decay rates of heavy hadrons on the flavors of spectator light quarks is revisited with application to decays of charmed and b hyperons. It is pointed out that the differences in the semileptonic decay…
We summarize recent results for charm physics. These results span several categories: charm mixing, indirect (time-dependent) CP violation, direct (time-integrated) CP violation, T violation, semileptonic and leptonic decays, and decays of…
We review current experimental results on charm mixing and CP violation. We survey experimental techniques, including time-dependent, time-independent, and quantum-correlated measurements. We review techniques that use a slow pion tag from…
We present several results on hadronic D meson decays. We report on results from the scan of the energy region from 3970 MeV to 4260 MeV, which was used to determine an optimal energy to carry out the D_s physics program of CLEO-c. Improved…
Recent experimental results on charmless rare b decays are reviewed.
We evaluate exclusive semileptonic decays of ground-state spin-1/2 doubly heavy charmed baryons driven by a $c\to s,d$ transition at the quark level. Our results for the form factors are consistent with heavy quark spin symmetry constraints…
With the development of lattice QCD in recent years, a determination of decay rates for inclusive semileptonic decays from lattice correlators now seems viable. We report on the calculation of the inclusive semileptonic decay of the $D_s$…
Selected results on hadronic decays of the tau lepton from the TAU98 Workshop are reviewed. A comprehensive picture emerges for strange particle branching fractions, and exploration of resonant substructure of both strange and non-strange…
The BESIII collaboration has collected the world's largest datasets at the energy thresholds for producing a variety of open-charm hadrons. Most recently, the BESIII collaboration has collected datasets that significantly increase the…
Inspired by the recent measurements on the $J/{\psi}(1S)$ ${\to}$ $D_{s}{\rho}$, $D_{u}K^{\ast}$ weak decays at BESIII and the potential prospects of the charmonium at the high-luminosity heavy-flavor experiments, we study ${\psi}(1S,2S)$…
We analyze final state strong interaction effects in $B -> D \rho$ and $B -> D^{*}\pi$ decays using the Regge model. We find that, due to the smallness of the contributions from the non-leading Regge trajectories ($\rho$, $f$, $\pi$ etc.),…
We review recent results on hadronic B meson decays including rare as well as non-suppressed decays. The main emphasis is on those channels relevant to measurement of CP violation in the coming B factories. After briefly describing…
The {\it BaBar} experiment has recorded the decays of more than 465$\times 10^6 B\bar{B}$ pairs since 1999, and is reaching an unprecedented precision in the measurement of hadronic B decays. The following results are presented: tests of…
Theoretical remarks are offered regarding recent hadron collider results on the mixing and decays of $B_s$ mesons. Topics covered include: (1) CP-violating mixing in $B_s(\ob_s) \to J/\psi \phi$, (2) the D0 dimuon charge asymmetry, (3)…
We claim that the non-resonant contribution to non-leptonic charm meson decays may not be constant in the phase space of the reaction. We argue that this can be relevant for any weak reaction. We discuss in detail the decay $D^+ \to K^-…
