Bound electron pairs (BEPs) arising due to peculiarities of the band structure of topologically nontrivial materials are of interest as charge and spin carriers with energies in the band gap. Moreover, being composite bosons, BEPs can also…

We report on a search for the decay $B^0\to\rho^0\rho^0$ and other charmless modes with a $\pi^+\pi^-\pi^+\pi^-$ final state, including $B^0\to\rho^0\pi^+\pi^-$, non-resonant $B^0\to 4\pi^{\pm}$, $B^0\to\rho^0f_0(980)$, $B^0\to…

We study the $B$ meson spectroscopy allowing the mixture of conventional $P$ wave quark-antiquark states and four-quark components. A similar picture was used to describe the new $D_J$ and $D_{sJ}$ open charm mesons. The four-quark…

In a composite model of the weak bosons the p-wave bosons are studied. The state with the lowest mass is identified with the boson, which might have been detected recently at the LHC. Specific properties of these excited bosons are studied,…

We have studied charmless hadronic decays of B mesons into two-body final states with kaons and pions and observe three new processes with the following branching fractions: BR(B-> pi+ pi-) = (4.3^{+1.6}_{-1.4} \pm 0.5) \times 10^{-6},…

It has been recently argued that some longstanding problems in semileptonic B decays can be solved provided the branching ratio for the $B\to D^{\prime(\ast)}$ semileptonic decays are large enough. We have studied these decays in a…

The first observation of the rare decay$B^0_s \to \phi\pi^+\pi^-$ and evidence for $B^0 \to \phi\pi^+\pi^-$ are reported, using $pp$ collision data recorded by the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies $\sqrt{s} = 7$ and 8~TeV,…

The simple structure of the BH molecule makes it an excellent candidate for direct laser cooling. We measure the branching ratios for the decay of the ${\rm A}^{1}\Pi (v'=0)$ state to vibrational levels of the ground state, ${\rm…

The $B^+ \to D^{*-}K^+\pi^+$ decay potentially provides an excellent way to investigate charm meson spectroscopy. The decay is searched for in a sample of proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass…

We have studied radiative B meson decays into higher kaonic resonances decaying into a two-body or three-body final state, using a data sample of 21.3 fb$^{-1}$ recorded at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at KEKB. For…

In the present work, we investigate the productions of the molecular states composed of $D^{(*)}_s \bar{D}^{(*)}$ and $D^{(*)}_s \bar{D}^{(*)}_s$ in the $B$ and $B_s$ decays by using an effective Lagrangian approach. The branching ratios in…

Stimulated by the exciting progress in experiments, we carry out a combined analysis of the masses, and strong and radiative decay properties of the $B$ and $B_s$-meson states up to the second orbital excitations. Based on our good…

We study the two- and three-body decays of the $I=0$ $D_1K$ and $D_2K$ molecular states $T_{c\bar{s}1}^*$ and $T_{c\bar{s}2}^*$ into $D_s^{(*)}$ mesons and pions. Triangle singularities produce narrow peaks in the $D_s^*\pi$ and $D_s\pi$…

We report a study of the suppressed B meson decay B^- -> D K^- followed by D -> K^+ \pi^-, where D indicates a D^0 or \bar{D}^0 state. The two decay paths interfere and provide information on the CP-violating angle \phi_3. We use a data…

The $B_{c}$ ${\to}$ $B_{s}{\pi}$ decay is studied with the perturbative QCD approach. Three types of wave functions for $B_{s}$ meson are considered. The transition form factor $F_{0}^{B_{c}{\to}B_{s}}(0)$ and the branching ratio ${\cal…

We perform an extensive survey of rare and exclusive few-body decays -- defined as those with branching fractions $\mathcal{B} \lesssim 10^{-5}$ into two to four final particles -- of the Higgs, Z, W bosons, and the top quark. Such rare…

We report a study of the decay $B^0\rightarrow D K^+\pi^-$ followed by $D\rightarrow K^-\pi^+$, where $D$ indicates $D^0$ or $\bar{D}^0$. We reconstruct the $D K^+\pi^-$ state in a phase space corresponding to $D K^{*}(892)^0$. The…
