The hadronic charmless B decays into a scalar meson and a vector meson are studied within the framework of QCD factorization. The main results are: (i) The decay rates for the $f_0(980)K^{*-}$ and $f_0(980)\ov K^{*0}$ modes depend on the…

We examine the three-body baryonic $\bar B\to {\bf B\bar B'}V$ decays with $V$ vector mesons in the standard model. We can simultaneously explain the recent experimental data on the decays of $B^-\to \Lambda\bar p \,\rho^0$ and $\bar B\to…

Inspired by the abundant structure near the threshold of the $D^{(*)}K^{(*)}/\bar{D}^{(*)}K^{(*)}$, we estimate the strong decay properties of the $T_{c\bar{s}1}^{f/a}$ and $T_{\bar{c}\bar{s}1}^{f/a}$ with $I(J^{P})=0/1(1^{+})$ in $DK^{*}$…

In this work, we investigate the resonant contributions of $K_0^*(1430)$ and $K_0^*(1950)$ in the three-body $B_{(s)}\to D_{(s)}K\pi$ within the perturbative QCD approach. The form factor $F_{k\pi}(s)$ are adopted to describe the…

We present a study of the decays B0 -> D0 K*0 and B0 -> barD0 K*0 with K*0 -> K+pi-. The D0 and the barD0 mesons are reconstructed in the final states f=K+pi-, K+pi-pi0, K+pi-pi+pi- and their charge conjugates. Using a sample of 465 million…

The decays $\bar{B^0} \to D_{sJ}^+ K^-$ and $\bar{B^0} \to D_{sJ}^- \pi^+$ are studied for the first time. A significant signal is observed in the $\bar{B^0} \to D_{sJ}^*(2317)^+ K^-$ decay channel with ${\cal B}(\bar{B^0} \to…

To understand the nature of the $X(5568)$, recently observed in the mass spectrum of the $B_{s}^0\pi^\pm$ system by the D0 Collaboration, we have investigated, in a previous work, a scalar tetraquark (diquak-antidiquark) structure for it,…

We report the first observation of the decays $B^0 \rightarrow p\bar{\Lambda} D^{(*)-}$. The data sample of $711$ fb$^{-1}$ used in this analysis corresponds to $772$ million $B\bar{B}$ pairs, collected at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance by…

Using 449 million BBbar pairs collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^+e^- collider, we observe clear signals for B^+-> \bar{K}^0 K^+ and B^0-> \bar{K}^0 K^0 decays with 5.3 sigma and 6.0 sigma significance,…

We study the productions of p-wave mesons $K^*_{0}(1430)$, $K_{1}(1270)$ and $K_{1}(1400)$ in B decays. By the generalized factorization approach, we find that the branching ratios of $B\to K^*_{0}(1430) \phi$ are similar to those of $B\to…

The widths of a class of two-body $\bar{B}_s^0 $ decays induced by $b \to c \bar u d$ and $b \to c \bar u s$ transitions are determined in a model-independent way, using $SU(3)_F$ symmetry and existing information on $\bar B \to D_{(s)} P$…

We present Dalitz plot analyses for the decays of $B$ mesons to $D^- D^0 K^+$ and $\overline{D}^0 D^0 K^+$. We report the observation of the $D^{*}_{s1}(2700)^+$ resonance in these two channels and obtain measurements of the mass…
