A measurement of charm mixing and $CP$-violating parameters is reported, using $\bar{B} \rightarrow D^0 ( \rightarrow K_S^0 \pi^+ \pi^-) \mu^- \bar{\nu}_\mu X$ decays reconstructed in proton-proton collisions collected by the LHCb…
Charm meson oscillations are observed in a time-dependent analysis of the ratio of $D^0\to K^+\pi^-\pi^+\pi^-$ to $D^0\to K^-\pi^+\pi^-\pi^+$ decay rates, using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3.0\,{\rm fb}^{-1}$ recorded…

We investigate the singly and doubly charmful two-body $\Omega_b^-$ decays using the light-front quark model. Our findings reveal that most branching fractions calculated in this study, such as ${\cal B}(\Omega_b^-\to\Xi^-…
The first observations of $B^0\rightarrow\overline{D}^{*}(2007)^{0}K^{+}\pi^{-}$ and $B_s^0\rightarrow\overline{D}^{*}(2007)^{0}K^{-}\pi^{+}$ decays are presented, and their branching fractions relative to that of the…
The two-body open charm decays $Z^+(4430)\to D^{+}\bar{D}^{*0}, D^{*+}\bar{D}^{0}, D^{*+}\bar{D}^{*0}$ occur through the re-scattering mechanism and their branching ratios are strongly suppressed if $Z^+(4430)$ is a $D_1\bar D^*$ molecular…

The search for new physics beyond the standard model is proceeding nowadays intensively along experimental and theoretical lines. We review here the sector of charm radiative decays in this context. The calculation of $D\to V\gamma$, $D\to…
Belle II is a major upgrade of the Belle experiment and will operate at the $B$-factory SuperKEKB in Japan. Here we discuss the expected sensitivity of Belle II for $D^0 - \bar{D}^0$ mixing and $CP$ violation measurements in the charm…
It was recently pointed out that inclusive B^0(t) decays could show CP violation. The totally inclusive asymmetry is expected to be tiny [O(10^{-3})] because of large cancellations among the asymmetries in the charmless, single charm and…
We comment on the recent observation of the decay mode D(sJ)(*)(2860)-->D(*)K by the BABAR Collaboration [arXiv:0908.0806], and contest their peremptory conclusion that the data exclude a 0(+) assignment for the D(sJ)(*)(2860). In…
The semileptonic decay of a b-quark, b--> c l nu, is considered in the relativistic limit where the decay products are approximately collinear. Analytic results for the double differential lepton energy distributions are given for finite…
We have developed quantitative description of quantum coherent oscillations in the system of two coupled qubits in the presence of weak decoherence that in general can be correlated between the two qubits. It is shown that in the…
Motivated by the recent measurement of $D^0\to\rho^0\gamma$ improved standard model (SM) predictions for branching ratios and CP asymmetries of radiative charm decay are given. Weak annihilation induced decays are probes of non-perturbative…
Working within the framework of the QCD light cone sum rules (LCSR), we compute and discuss the nonfactorizable higher twist effect in $\bar{B}^0\to D^{*0}\pi^0$ to make an all-around examination of its role in the charmed color-suppressed…
Strategies that utilise the interference effects within B -> DK decays hold great potential for improving our sensitivity to the CKM angle gamma. However, in order to exploit fully this potential, knowledge of parameters associated with the…
