We developed the new parton model approach for exclusive semileptonic decays of $B$-meson to $D,~D^*$ by extending the inclusive parton model, and by combining with the results of the HQET, motivated by Drell-Yan process. Without the…
We reanalyze B -> D pi and B -> K J/psi data to extract a set of parameters which give the relevant hadronic matrix elements in terms of factorized amplitudes. Various sources of theoretical uncertainties are studied, in particular those…
The rich analytic structure of hadronic form factors makes a theoretically consistent yet easily applicable parametrisation cumbersome. Consequently, most parametrisations are limited to reproducing the simplest analytic features sufficient…
Based on the measured four-dimensional rate for $D_{s}^+ to \phi e^+ \nu_e$ decays, we have determined the ratios of the three hadronic form factors, r_V=V(0)/A_1(0)= 1.636 \pm 0.067 \pm 0.038 and r_2=A_2(0)/A_1(0)= 0.705 \pm 0.056 \pm…
We show that when an isolated doublet of unbound states of a physical system becomes degenerate for some values of the control parameters of the system, the energy hypersurfaces representing the complex resonance energy eigenvalues as…
We show how complex resonance poles and threshold energies for systems in hadron physics can be accurately obtained by using a method based on the Pad\'{e}-approximant which was recently developed for the calculation of resonance poles for…
We introduce a novel parameterization of $B\rightarrow\pi\pi\ell\nu$ form factors relying on partial-wave decompositions and series expansions in suitable variables. We bound the expansion coefficients through unitarity and include…
We perform a theoretical analysis of the semileptonic decays $\eta^{(\prime)} \to \pi^0 \ell^+ \ell^-$ and $\eta' \to \eta \ell^+ \ell^-$, where $\ell = e, \mu$, via a charge-conjugation-conserving two-photon mechanism. The underlying form…
Each and every energy dependent partial-wave analysis is parameterizing the pole positions in a procedure defined by the way how the continuous energy dependence is implemented. These pole positions are, henceforth, inherently model…
The contribution of pseudoscalar pole diagrams to the hadronic light-by-light corrections of order alpha^3 E_F to the ground state hyperfine splitting in hydrogenic atom is calculated in the pseudoscalar pole terms approximation. The vector…
Semileptonic exclusive tau decays in the Standard Model are reviewed. As it is well-known, they are a privileged arena to learn about low-energy hadronization. They also allow for a number of clean new physics tests, which have attracted…
The semileptonic decay $D^{+}_{s}\rightarrow \pi^{+}\ell^{-}\ell^{+}$, where $\ell=e, \ \mu$, is used as a reference channel when looking for suppressed or forbidden processes of the standard model of the form $D_{s}\rightarrow…
In a recent paper, 8 semileptonic parameters were defined to specify the most general Lorentz-invariant spin correlation functions for 2-body tau decays. These parameters can be used to search for anomalous longitudinal-versus transverse…
We present a model-independent and relativistic approach to analytically derive electromagnetic finite-size effects beyond the point-like approximation. The key element is the use of electromagnetic Ward identities to constrain vertex…
