We calculate the J/{\psi} mass, leptonic width and radiative decay rate to \gamma \eta_c from lattice QCD including u, d and s quarks in the sea for the first time. We use the Highly Improved Staggered Quark formalism and nonperturbatively…
We study the exclusive semileptonic decays $\Upsilon(1S)\to B_{(c)}\ell\bar{\nu}_\ell$, where $\ell = e,\mu,\tau$. The relevant hadronic form factors are calculated using the Covariant Confined Quark Model developed previously by our group.…
The next-to-next-to-leading order perturbative QCD corrections to R_tau and the higher moments of the invariant mass distribution in the hadronic tau decays are considered. The renormalization scheme dependence of these corrections is…
We present the results for the Next-to-Leading Order effective hamiltonian for $\Delta S\!=\! 1$ decays, in presence of both QCD and QED corrections, and update the existing theoretical predictions for $\epsilon^\prime/\epsilon$. To appear…
We calculate the complete ${\cal O}(\alpha_s)$ corrections to the quark decay $b\to ccs$ taking full account of the quark masses, but neglecting penguin contributions. For a c to the b quark mass ratio $m_c/m_b= 0.3$ and a strange quark…
The branching ratio and direct $CP$ asymmetry of the ${\Upsilon}(1S)$ ${\to}$ $B_{c}D_{s}$ weak decay are estimated with the perturbative QCD approach. It is found that (1) The direct $CP$-violating asymmetry is close to zero. (2) the…
We discuss the renormalisation group (RG) evolution for the $\Delta S = 1$ operators in unquenched QCD with $N_f = 3$ ($m_u=m_d=m_s$) or, more generally, $N_f = 2+1$ ($m_u=m_d \ne m_s$) flavors. In particular, we focus on the specific…
We compute the QCD corrections to the decay rate difference in the $B_s-\bar B_s$ system, $\Delta\Gamma_{B_s}$, in the next-to-leading logarithmic approximation using the heavy quark expansion approach. Going beyond leading order in QCD is…
In this paper, we compute the total and differential cross sections for $e^+e^- \to J/\psi+c+\bar{c}$ at the $B$ factories up to next-to-leading order (NLO) corrections within the framework of nonrelativistic QCD factorization theory. We…
We show that renormalization group improvement, making use of analyticity and the structure of the operator product expansion, combined with a non-perturbative expansion method allows one to describe quarkonium states via QCD sum rules…
We estimate the decay rates of $\eta_c\rightarrow 2\gamma$, $\eta_c'\rightarrow 2\gamma$, and $J/\psi\rightarrow e^+ e^-$, $\psi^\prime\rightarrow e^+e^-$, by taking into account both relativistic and QCD radiative corrections. The decay…
We compute next-to-next-to-leading order corrections to the decay width difference of mass eigenstates and the charge-parity (CP) asymmetry $a_{\rm fs}$ in flavour-specific decays of neutral $B$ mesons. We include both current-current and…
We derive and solve the renormalisation-group (RG) equation of the shape function $g_{17}(\omega,\omega_1;\mu)$, which appears at subleading power in the factorization of the inclusive decays $\bar{B} \to X_s \gamma$ and $\bar B \to X_s…
The problem of improving the reliability of perturbative QCD predictions at moderate energies is considered. These predictions suffer from substantial renormalization scheme dependence, which is illustrated using as an example the QCD…
Inspired by the potential prospects of ${\Upsilon}(nS)$ data samples ($n$ $=$ $1$, $2$, $3$) at LHC and SuperKEKB, ${\Upsilon}(nS)$ ${\to}$ $B_{c}{\rho}$, $B_{c}K^{\ast}$ decays are studied phenomenologically with pQCD approach. Branching…
Theoretical predictions for B decay rates are rewritten in terms of the Upsilon meson mass instead of the b quark mass, using a modified perturbation expansion. The theoretical consistency is shown both at low and high orders. This method…
Anticipating future precise measurements of the D- and B-like (semi-)leptonic and hadronic decays for alternative determinations of the CKM mixing angles, we pursue our program on the D- and B-like mesons by improving the estimates of…
We consider a scenario for the Quark-Lepton Complementarity relations between mixing angles in which the bi-maximal mixing follows from the neutrino mass matrix. According to this scenario in the lowest order the angle \theta_{12} is \sim…
We calculate next to leading order QCD corrections to the direct decays b -> J/Psi + X and b -> eta_c + X. The strong renormalization scale dependence is seen to persist also in this order and in fact the rate is driven to an unphysical…
We present upgraded theoretical predictions for inclusive and exclusive radiative decays of {\it B} mesons. Our results include those next-to-leading order corrections that have already been computed. Our best estimates in the Standard…
