We evaluate the radiative and hadronic decay rates of the $D^*$ mesons using the Heavy Quark Effective Theory and the Vector Meson Dominance hypothesis. We also estimate the width of the $B^*$ electromagnetic transitions and the radiative…
With the assumptions that the $T_{cc}^+$ discovered at LHCb is a $D^{*}D$ hadronic molecule, using a nonrelativistic effective field theory we calculate the radiative partial widths of $T_{cc}^* \to D^*D\gamma$ with $T_{cc}^*$ being a…
We have observed a signal for the decay D*+ -> D+ gamma at a significance of 4 standard deviations. From the measured branching ratio B(D*+ -> D+ gamma)/B(D*+ -> D+ pi0)=0.055 +- 0.014 +- 0.010 we find B(D*+ -> D+ gamma)= 0.017 +- 0.004 +-…

We observe the radiative decay $D^{*}_{s0}(2317)^{+} \to D_{s}^{*+} \gamma$ for the first time, with a significance exceeding $10$ standard deviations. The signal is found in the continuum $e^+ e^- \to c\bar{c}$ process with the combined…

From a sample of $1172 \pm 61$ $D^+ \to \pi^- \pi^+ \pi^+$ decay, we find $\Gamma (D^+ \to \pi^- \pi^+ \pi^+) / \Gamma (D^+ \to K^- \pi^+ \pi^+) = 0.0311 \pm 0.0018 ^{+0.0016}_{-0.0026}$. Using a coherent amplitude analysis to fit the…
The inclusive light hadronic decays of 1D_2 heavy quarkonia are studied within the framework of NRQCD at the leading order in $v$ and up to the order of $\alpha_s^3$. With one-loop QCD corrections, the infrared divergences and Coulomb…
We observe the decays $ $D^*_{s1}(2710)^+ \to D^*K$ and $D^*_{sJ}(2860)^+ \to D^*K$ and measure their branching fractions relative to the $D K$ final state. We also observe, in the $D^*K$ mass spectrum, a new broad structure at a mass of…
We discuss the $\mbox{M1}$ radiative transitions $D^*\rightarrow D\gamma$, $D_{s}^*\rightarrow D_s\gamma$, $B^*\rightarrow B\gamma$, and $B^*_{s}\rightarrow B_s\gamma$. A relativistic potential model is proposed. The corresponding…
Starting from the hypothesis that the $T_{cc}^+$ discovered at LHCb is a $D^{\ast+} D^0/D^{\ast 0}D^+$ hadronic molecule, we consider the partial width of its heavy quark spin partner, the $T_{cc}^{\ast +}$ as a $D^{\ast +} D^{\ast 0}$…

We present preliminary results on the natural line width, $\Gamma(D^{*+})$, in the transition $D^{*}(2010)^{+} \rightarrow D^0 \pi^+$. The $D^0$ is reconstructed in two decay channels: $D^0 \rightarrow K^-\pi^+$ and $D^0 \rightarrow…
The decays D^* -> D\pi and D^* -> D\gamma are well described by heavy meson chiral perturbation theory. With the recent measurement of Br(D^{*+} -> D^+ \gamma), the D^{*0}, D^{*+}, and D_s^* branching fractions can be used to extract the…
