The neutral $B$ mesons, $B^0$ and $B_s$, can oscillate between their particle and antiparticle states owing to flavor-changing weak interactions. In recent years, techniques to detect these oscillations as a function of the meson's decay…
QCD-motivated models for hadrons predict an assortment of "exotic" hadrons that have structures that are more complex than the quark-antiquark mesons and three-quark baryons of the original quark-parton model. These include pentaquark…
Exclusive hadronic B-meson decays into two-body final states consisting of a light pseudoscalar or vector meson along with an eta or eta' meson are of great phenomenological interest. Their theoretical analysis involves decay mechanisms…

Using the newly measured masses of $B_c(1S)$ and $B_c(2S)$ from the CMS Collaboration and the $1S$ hyperfine splitting determined from the lattice QCD as constrains, we calculate the $B_c$ mass spectrum up to the $6S$ multiplet with a…
The dynamical diquark model assumes that exotic hadrons can be formed from colored diquarks. This model asserts a multiquark exotic state composed of a compact diquark $\delta$ and antidiquark $\bar{\delta}$ for a tetraquark interacting…
Recent experimental measurements and lattice QCD calculations are now reaching the precision (and accuracy) needed to over-constrain the CKM parameters $\bar\rho$ and $\bar\eta$. In this brief review, I discuss the current status of lattice…
We investigate a doubly-bottomed tetraquark state $T_{bb}$ $(bb \bar{u}\bar{d})$ with quantum number $I(J^P)=0(1^+)$ in $(2+1)$-flavor lattice QCD. Using the Non-Relativistic QCD (NRQCD) quark action for $b$ quarks, we have extracted the…
