We investigate the weak decays of $\bar B_{s}^{0}$ and $\Lambda_{b}$ to charm hadrons based on the dynamical supersymmetry between the $\bar s$ quark and the $ud$ diquark. We derive a new sum rule relating the decay rates of the processes…

We describe a recent lattice-QCD calculation of the leptonic decay constants of heavy-light pseudoscalar mesons containing charm and bottom quarks and of the masses of the up, down, strange, charm, and bottom quarks. Results for these…
We estimate the strong coupling constants of charmed and bottom mesons $ D_{(s)}^* $, $ D_{(s)1} $, $ B_{(s)}^* $, and $ B_{(s)1} $ with light vector mesons $ \rho $, $ \omega $, $ K^* $, and $ \phi $ within the framework of light-cone QCD…
In this work, we study the properties of the pseudoscalar hidden-charm tetraquark states by analyzing their two-body strong decays via the QCD sum rules based on rigorous quark-hadron duality. We take into account the vacuum condensates up…
We calculate the shifts in decay constants of the pseudoscalar $B$ and $D$ mesons in nuclear medium in the frame work of QCD sum rules. We write those shifts in terms of the $B-N$ and $D-N$ scattering lengths and an extra phenomenological…
We use QCD sum rules to study the possible existence of $QQ-\bar{u}\bar{d}$ mesons, assumed to be a state with $J^{P}=1^{+}$. For definiteness, we work with a current with an axial heavy diquark and a scalar light antidiquark, at leading…
