Using a 281 pb^{-1} data sample collected at the psi(3770) with the CLEO-c detector, we present the first absolute branching fraction measurement of the decay D^0 rightarrow K^-pi^+pi^-e^+nu_e at a statistical significance of about 4.0…

Charged lepton flavor violation is an unambiguous signature for New Physics. Here we present a summary of the theoretical and experimental status of the search for charged lepton flavor violation in heavy particle decays, in particular in…

In view of important implications in the B decay, the 0-0- decay modes of J/psi are analyzed with broken flavor SU(3) symmetry in search for long-distance final-state interactions. If we impose one mild theoretical constraint on the…
A numerical error is pointed out in the existing expression for the order $\alpha_s^2$ longitudinal component of the squared-mass (D=2) contribution to the hadronic $\tau$ decay rate. The corrected version is found to be such that, to order…
We prove a U-spin amplitude triangle relation among doubly Cabibbo-suppressed (DCS) charmed meson decays, $D^0\to K^+\pi^-, D^0 \to K^0\pi^0$ and $D^+_s \to K^0 K^+$, congruent to an isospin relation among corresponding Cabibbo-favored (CF)…
The resonant substructure of $B_s^0 \rightarrow \bar{D}^0 K^- \pi^+$ decays is studied using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3.0\,{\rm fb}^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data recorded by the LHCb detector. An excess at…
The $B^{-}\to D^{+}K^{-}\pi^{-}$ decay is observed in a data sample corresponding to $3.0~\rm{fb}^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data recorded by the LHCb experiment during 2011 and 2012. Its branching fraction is measured to be ${\cal B}(B^{-}\to…
Based on a dataset acquired by the BaBar experiment running on and near the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance from 1999-2002, limits are set on the rate of $D^0$-- $\kern 0.2em\bar{\kern -0.2em D}{}^0$ mixing using the decay mode $D^{*+} \to D^0…
It is shown that the existing data on two-body B decays, some of them only upper limits, are precise enough to perform an isospin analysis to extract the phase shifts due to final state interaction. Unlike charm decays, no significant final…
We report the measurements of various hadronic $B$ decays at the Belle II experiment using a $362 fb^{-1}$ sample of electron-positron collisions collected at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance. All results agree with the previous determination,…

We report a direct measurement of $D^0-overline{D}^0$ mixing parameters through a time-dependent amplitude analysis of the Dalitz plots of $D^0 \rightarrow K_S^0 \pi^+ \pi^-$ and, for the first time, $D^0 \rightarrow K_S^0 K^+ K^-$ decays.…
