We report an observation of the decay B^\pm -> \phi \phi K^\pm and evidence for B^0 -> \phi \phi K^0. These results are based on a 414 fb^{-1} data sample collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^+e^- collider…

In the standard model (SM), we re-investigate the rare decay $B\to \phi\pi$, which has been viewed as an ideal probe to detect the new physics signals beyond the SM. Contributions in the naive factorization method, the radiative…

The mixing between nonstrange and strange quark wavefunctions in the $\omega$ and $\phi$ mesons leads to a small predicted branching ratio $\b(D_s^+ \to \omega e^+ \nu_e) = {\cal O}(10^{-4})(\delta/3.34^\circ)^2$, where $\delta$ is the…

CP violation in $B^0_s$-$\bar B^0_s$ oscillations is expected at the $10^{-5}$ level in the Standard Model but could be enhanced by New Physics. Using $B^0_s\to D_s^-\ell^+\nu_\ell$ decays, LHCb has recently reported the new result…

First observations of the $B^0_s \rightarrow \psi(2S) \eta$, $B^0 \rightarrow \psi(2S) \pi^+ \pi^-$ and $B^0_s \rightarrow \psi(2S) \pi^+ \pi^-$ decays are made using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0~$fb^{-1}$…

We search for $J/\psi$ radiative decays into a weakly interacting neutral particle, namely an invisible particle, using the $J/\psi$ produced through the process $\psi(3686)\to\pi^+\pi^-J/\psi$ in a data sample of $(448.1\pm2.9)\times 10^6$…

With accumulation of high statistics data at BESIII, one may study many new interesting channels. Among them, J/\psi \to B^*\bar B + \bar{B^*}B \to \gamma B\bar B processes may provide valuable information of the radiative decays of the…

Heavy, as yet undiscovered particles, can affect measurements of CP violation in the B system. Measuring CP violation in the Bs system provides an excellent place to observe such effects since Standard Model sources are predicted to produce…

Recently, the LHCb collaboration has analyzed the decay of $B_s^0\rightarrow \chi_{c1}(3872)(\rightarrow J/\psi \pi^+ \pi^-) \pi^+ \pi^-$ and reported the ratio of the branching fractions to the $B_s^0\rightarrow \psi(2S)(\rightarrow…

Radiative $\bar{B}^0(\bar{B}^0_s)\rightarrow J/\psi \gamma$ decays provide an interesting case to test our understanding of (non)perturbative QCD and eventually to probe physics beyond the standard model. Recently, the LHCb Collaboration…

Using a data sample of $(448.1\pm2.9)\times10^{6}$ $\psi(3686)$ decays collected by the BESIII detector at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPCII), we observe the decays $\chi_{cJ}\to \phi\phi\eta~(J=0,~1,~2)$, where the $\chi_{cJ}$…

We look into the $D_s^+ \to \rho^+ \phi$ and $D_s^+ \to \rho^+ \omega$ weak decays recently measured by the BESIII collaboration, which proceed very differently in a first step of the weak decay. While the first reaction proceeds directly…

Using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb$^{-1}$ collected in $pp$ collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, the $B_s^0 \to \phi \phi$ branching fraction is measured to be \[ \mathcal{B}(B_s^0 \to \phi…

The LHCb experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider will soon allow us to enter a new era in the exploration of B_s decays. A particularly promising channel for the search of "new physics" is B^0_s -> mu^+ mu^-. The systematic key…
