We present the differential rates for exclusive $\Bbar\to X \ell_1 \ell_2$, where $\ell_1$ is a charged massless lepton and $\ell_2$ is a charged or neutral massless lepton, and $X$ is a mesonic system up to spin 2. The cases of interest…
Hadron decay chains constitute one of the main sources of information on the QCD spectrum. We discuss the differences between several partial wave analysis formalisms used in the literature to build the amplitudes. We match the helicity…
In $\Lambda_b^0 \to \Lambda_c^+ (\to \Lambda^0 \pi^+) \tau^- \bar{\nu}_\tau $ decay, the solid angle of the final-state particle $\tau^-$ cannot be determined precisely since the decay products of the $\tau^-$ include an undetected…
The angular distributions and the partial branching fraction of the decay $B^{0} \rightarrow K^{*0} \mu^+ \mu^-$ are studied using an integrated luminosity of $0.37\,fb^{-1}$ of data collected with the LHCb detector. The forward-backward…

The Higgs-boson decay h -> gamma l+ l- for various lepton states l = (e, mu, tau) is analyzed. The differential decay width and forward-backward asymmetry are calculated as functions of the dilepton invariant mass in a model where the Higgs…
We derive the width of the Higgs boson into vector bosons. General formulas are derived both for the on-shell decay H -> VV as well for the off-shell decays, H -> V^* V and H -> V^* V^*, where V=\gamma,W,Z. For the off-shell decays the…
After a rediscussion of the vanishing theorems for helicity amplitudes in unbroken gauge theories, we study the case of spontaneously broken gauge theories at high energy. The vanishing theorems generalize to a definite pattern of…
We address the problem of calculating momentum distributions of particles emerging from the three-body decay of a many-body resonance. We show that these distributions are determined by the asymptotics of the coordinate-space complex-energy…
We have calculated the $W$-loop contribution to the amplitude of the decay $H\rightarrow Z+\gamma$ in two different methods: 1) in the $R_\xi$-gauge using dimensional regularization (DimReg), and 2) in the unitary gauge through the…
We calculate the independent helicity amplitudes in the decays $B \to K^* \ell^+ \ell^-$ and $B \to \rho \ell \nu_\ell$ in the so-called Large-Energy-Effective-Theory (LEET). Taking into account the dominant $O(\alpha_s)$ and SU(3)…
We calculate one loop scattering amplitudes for arbitrary number of positive helicity on-shell gluons and one off-shell gluon treated within the quasi-multi Regge kinematics. The result is fully gauge invariant and possesses the correct…
At the present time, there are hints of new physics (NP) in several observables involving $b \to c \ell^- {\bar\nu}_\ell$ decays. In this talk, I describe measurable angular distributions for ${\bar B} \to D^* \mu^- {\bar\nu}_\mu$ and…
In these proceedings some facts about resonances are discussed focussing on the analytic properties of resonant amplitudes with special emphasis on model independent analyses. As an illustrative example of the latter point the decays B and…
The first full angular analysis of the $B^0 \to D^{*-} D_s^{*+}$ decay is performed using 6 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data collected with the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The $D_s^{*+} \to D_s^+ \gamma$ and…
This article provides an introduction to on-shell recursion relations for calculations of tree-level amplitudes. Starting with the basics, such as spinor notations and color decompositions, we expose analytic properties of gauge-boson…
We investigate helicity amplitudes (HAs) of $A \to B C$-type decays for arbitrary spin towards the kinematic endpoint. We show that they are proportional to product of Clebsch-Gordan coefficients (CGC) and the velocity to some positive…
