A search for the exotic meson $X(5568)$ decaying into the $B^0_s \pi^{\pm}$ final state is performed using data corresponding to $9.6 \textrm{fb}^{-1}$ from $p{\bar p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 1960$ GeV recorded by the Collider Detector…

In this master thesis I discuss how the weak three-body decay B^+ --> pi^- pi^+ K^+ is related to the strong interactions between the final-state particles. Current issues in hadron spectroscopy define a region of interest in a Dalitz plot…
Triangle and other kinematic singularities are very sensitive to the precise masses and widths of the intervening particles. Therefore, the effect that the heavy-ion collision medium can have on those masses and widths, as captured by…
We study the mechanism of the weak decay process of Xi_b^0 into D^0 with a meson-baryon pair. It is shown that the dominant component of the prompt weak decay produces the meson-baryon pair with the spectator strange quark being transferred…
Two near-threshold peaking structures with spin-parities $J^{PC}=0^{++}$ were recently discovered by the LHCb Collaboration in the $D_s^+D_s^-$ invariant mass distribution of the decay process $B^+\to D_s^+D_s^-K^+$. In our study, we…
The anomalously large like-sign dimuon charge asymmetry in semileptonic b-hadron decays recently measured by the D0 Collaboration may be hinting at the presence of CP-violating new physics in the mixing of B_s mesons. It has been suggested…
New phenomena involving pseudorapidity and azimuthal correlations among final state particles in $pp$ collisions at the LHC can hint at the existence of hidden sectors beyond the Standard Model. In this paper we rely on a correlated-cluster…
With the accumulation of experimental data, more and more exotic hadrons are observed. Among the interpretations of these exotic hadrons, molecular state and compact multiquark are two of the most popular pictures. However, it is still…
The BaBar Collaboration has pointed out that $D^0 \to \pi^+ \pi^- \pi^0$ is dominated by an isospin-zero final state, leading to nearly complete depletion of the Dalitz plot along all three diagonals. In flavor-SU(3) approaches to charmed…

In this work we study the production of $K^*(4307)$ in $B$ decays by determining the $J/\psi\pi^{+(0)}K^{0}$ and $J/\psi \pi^- K^+$ invariant mass distributions of the processes $B^+\to J/\psi \pi^+\pi^0 K^0$ and $B^+\to J/\psi \pi^+\pi^-…

The present day experimental data on the $X(3872)$ decays do not allow to make clear conclusions on the dominating structure of this state. We discuss here an alternative way to study its structure by means of the two-step $\bar D^*$ (or…
We use data collected with the CLEO II detector to perform a high-statistics measurement of the resonant substructure in $D^0 \to K^-\pi^+\pi^0$ decays. We find the Dalitz Plot is well represented by a combination of seven quasi-two-body…
The Dalitz plot distribution of $B^0 \rightarrow \bar{D}^0 K^+ \pi^-$ decays is studied using a data sample corresponding to $3.0\rm{fb}^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data recorded by the LHCb experiment during 2011 and 2012. The data are…
