The Cabibbo suppressed decays $D\to Vl^+l^-$ (V is light vector meson) present in principle the opportunity to observe the short distance FCNC transition $c\to ul^+l^-$, which is sensitive to physics beyond the Standard Model. We analyze…
We study radiative charm decays $D \to P_1 P_2 \gamma$, $P_{1,2}=\pi,K$ in QCD factorization at leading order and within heavy hadron chiral perturbation theory. Branching ratios including resonance contributions are around $\sim 10^{-3}$…
The decays D^0 -> gamma gamma, $mu^+ mu^- are highly suppressed in the Standard Model (SM) with the lion's share of the rate coming from long distance dynamics; D^0 -> mu^+ mu^- is driven predominantly by D^0 -> gamma gamma -> mu^+ mu^-.…
A phenomenological analysis of $D\to K\pi$ and $D_s^+\to K K $decays including both Cabibbo-favored and doubly-Cabibbo-suppressed modes have been presented by employing the present experimental data. SU(3) symmetry breaking effects from the…
In e+e- collisions recorded using the CLEO II.V detector we have studied the Cabibbo suppressed decay of D0 -> pi+pi-pi0 with the initial flavor of the D0 tagged by the decay D*+ -> D0pi+. We use the Dalitz-plot analysis technique to…
In many extensions of the standard model an additional up-like heavy quark appears. Its appearance induces flavour changing neutral current transition in the up-quark region at the tree level. We investigate possible effects of these models…
Decays of the kind $B^0_{s,d}\to\ell^+\ell^-$ belong to the most favourable processes for probing the flavour structure of the Standard Model, with outstanding sensitivity to new (pseudo)-scalar contributions. While the branching ratio of…
In this paper, we study the Cabibbo favored non-leptonic $D^0$ decays into $K^- \pi^+$ decays. First we show that, within the Standard Model, the corresponding CP asymmetry is strongly suppressed and out of the experimental range even…
The most sensitive experimental searches for $D-\bar D$ mixing use $D^0 \to K^+ \pi^-$ decays. It is often assumed that effects of New Physics and, in particular, CP violation, can appear through the mixing, while the $c \to d u \bar s$…
The resonant structure of the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decay $D^+ \to K^-K^+K^+$ is studied for the first time. The measurement is based on a sample of pp-collision data, collected at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV with the LHCb detector…
We have studied the Cabibbo-suppressed decay mode D^0 into K^+ K^- pi^0 using a Dalitz plot technique and find the strong phase difference delta_D [defined as delta_(K*^- K^+) - delta_(K*^+ K^-)] = 332 degrees +- 8 degrees +- 11 degrees and…
We present several recent analyses of Dalitz plots from the CLEO-c experiment, including published and preliminary analyses of D+ to pi- pi+ pi+, D+ to K- pi+ pi+, and D0 to K0_{S,L} pi+ pi- decays. More information on these analyses can be…
We present the fully general, model independent study of a few rare semileptonic $B$ decays that get dominant contributions from $W$-annihilation and $W$-exchange diagrams, in particular $B^0 \to \bar{D}^0 \ell^+\ell^-$, where $\ell =…
The recent evidence of large direct CP violation in D0 decay at LHCb suggests that such CP studies may become an important avenue for understanding CP. In this paper, we make several suggestions to try to clarify the role of new physics in…
Motivated by some new experimental data, we carry out a phenomenological analysis of D --> K pi decays including both Cabibbo favored and doubly Cabibbo suppressed modes. Two asymmetries, R(D^0) and R(D+), which are generated through…
$D$ meson decays into neutral kaons involve both Cabibbo-favored and doubly Cabibbo-suppressed amplitudes as well as final-state kaon mixing, providing abundant sources of CP violation. In this work, we analyze CP asymmetries in the $D\to…
Using data collected on the psi(3770) resonance and near the Ds*+ Ds- peak production energy by the CLEO-c detector, we study the decays of the possible D->PP modes and report measurements of or upper limits on all branching fractions for…
We present a calculation of the rare decay modes D^0 -> e^+ e^- gamma and D^0 -> mu^+ mu^- gamma in the framework of Standard Model. For the short distance part, we have derived QCD corrections to the Wilson coefficients involved, including…
A binned Dalitz plot analysis of $B^\pm \to D K^\pm$ decays, with $D \to K^0_{\rm S} \pi^+\pi^-$ and $D \to K^0_{\rm S} K^+ K^-$, is performed to measure the CP-violating observables $x_{\pm}$ and $y_{\pm}$ which are sensitive to the CKM…
