We study the semileptonic decays of $D_{s}^{+}$, $D^{+}$, and $D^{0}$ mesons into the light scalar mesons [$f_{0} (500)$, $K_{0}^{\ast} (800)$, $f_{0} (980)$, and $a_{0}(980)$] and the light vector mesons [$\rho (770)$, $\omega (782)$,…

Experimental measurements of different decays of charmed mesons have been extensively performed at BESIII. Precision measurements of absolute branching fractions of different decays, the decay constants of $D^+$ and $D^+_s$ mesons, hadronic…

We report on the calculation of the inclusive semileptonic decay of the $D_s$ meson on the lattice. We simulate the $D_s \rightarrow X_s\ell\nu_\ell$ process with M\"obius domain-wall charm and strange quarks, whose masses are approximately…

We report the first measurement of the semileptonic decay $D^+_s \rightarrow K^*(892)^0\mu^+\nu_{\mu}$ and an improved measurement of the decay $D^+_s \rightarrow K^*(892)^0 e^+\nu_{e}$ using a sample of $7.33~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$…

Decays $D\to\pi^+\pi^-e^+\nu_e$ and $D_s\to\pi^+ \pi^-e^+\nu_e$ serve as probes that check the existence of constituent $q\bar q$ components in the wave functions of scalar mesons decaying into $\pi^+\pi^-$. There exists a great deal of…

The spin 1/2 baryons are pictured as a composite system made out of a "core" of three valence quarks (as in the simple quark model) surrounded by a "sea" (of gluon and $q\bar{q}$ pairs) which is specified by its total quantum numbers. We…

The experimental observation of lepton-number violating processes would unambiguously indicate the Majorana nature of neutrinos. Various $\Delta L$ = 2 processes for pseudoscalar meson $M_1$ decays to another pseudoscalar meson $M_2$ and…

In the presented article we consider exclusive weak decays of doubly heavy baryons with spin $J=1/2$ with production of leptonic pair or a set of light mesons. Using QCD factorization theorem and spectral functions approach we obtain…

This paper reports a study of B meson oscillations using hadronic Z^0 decays with two identified leptons, and updates a previous publication by including data collected in 1994. Decay times are reconstructed for each of the semileptonic B…

The decay rates and spectroscopy of the $D$ and $D_s$ mesons are computed in a nonrelativistic phenomenological quark-antiquark potential of the type $V(r)=-{4/3}\frac{\alpha_s}{r}+A r^{\nu}$ with different choices of $\nu$. Numerical…

Neutrinoless double beta decay is the only process known so far able to test the neutrino intrinsic nature: its experimental observation would imply that the lepton number is violated by two units and prove that neutrinos have a Majorana…

A search is performed for $D^{(*)+}_{sJ}$ mesons in the reactions $pp \to D^{*+} K^0_{\rm S} X$ and $pp \to D^{*0} K^+ X$ using data collected at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV with the LHCb detector. For the $D^{*+} K^0_{\rm S}$…

We review the physics of purely leptonic decays of $\pi^\pm$, $K^\pm$, $D^{\pm}$, $D_s^\pm$, and $B^\pm$ pseudoscalar mesons. The measured decay rates are related to the product of the relevant weak-interaction-based CKM matrix element of…

Based on the mechanism of neutral meson mixing, we predict the branching fraction of the semileptonic decay of $D_s^+\to \pi^0 \ell^+ \nu_\ell$ ($\ell=e$, $\mu$) using recently measured branching fraction of $D_s^+\to \eta e^+\nu_e$ by…

The experimental status of the excited $D_s^+$ mesons is reviewed with particular emphasis on the most recent findings related to the $D^*_{s1}(2860)$ and $D^*_{s3}(2860)$ resonances. It is shown that the list of experimental results…

For any new physics possibly emerging in the future B experiments, the problem is how to extract the signals from the SM background. We consider the decay $b\to s s\bar d$ which is very small in the SM. In the MSSM this decay is possibly…

Experimental data on electromagnetic and weak form factors of the nucleon are analyzed in a two-component model with a quark-like intrinsic structure surrounded by a meson cloud. The contribution from strange quarks is discussed and…
