We study orthogonal polynomial ensembles whose weights are deformations of exponential weights, in the limit of a large number of particles. The deformation symbols we consider affect local fluctuations of the ensemble around a bulk point…

We investigate tensor mesons as quark-antiquark bound states in a fully covariant Bethe-Salpeter equation. As a first concrete step we report results for masses of J^{PC}=2^{++} mesons from the chiral limit up to bottomonium and sketch a…

A symmetry-preserving treatment of mesons, within a Dyson-Schwinger and Bethe-Salpeter equations approach, demands an interconnection between the kernels of the quark gap equation and meson Bethe-Salpeter equation. Appealing to those…

A study of the decay channels Lambda_{b}-->Lambda V, where V is a vector meson (1^-), has been done by putting together kinematical and dynamical analysis. An intensive use of the helicity formalism is involved on the kinematical side,…

In the wake of the recent measurements of the decays $B_c\to J/\psi\,\pi(K)$ and $B_c\to J/\psi\,\ell\nu_\ell$ reported by the LHCb Collaboration we calculate the form factors for the $B_c\to J/\psi$ and $B_c\to \eta_{c}$ transitions in…

Resonance-mediated many body decays of heavy mesons are analyzed. We focus on some particular processes, in which the available phase space for the decay of the intermediate resonance is very narrow. It is shown that the mass selection…

We have calculated the decay rates of the $B_s$ meson in a number of exclusive two--body decay channels using the Bauer--Stech--Wirbel model for current matrix elements. The influence of the free parameters of the model on the predictions…

We discuss the possibility of observing a loosely bound molecular state in a B three-body hadronic decay. In particular we use the QCD sum rule approach to study a $\eta^\prime-\pi$ molecular current. We consider an isovector-scalar $I^G…

The updated experimental data are used to analyze the final-state interaction phases of the two-body decay amplitudes of the B mesons. Combining the upper bounds on the branching fractions of the color-suppressed modes with those of the…

In this decade, the exploration of CP violation is governed by the B-meson system, where non-leptonic decays play an outstanding role. To set the stage, we have first a look at the main strategies to circumvent the calculation of the…

We report about the studies of the decay channels B- -> D0 K-, B0 -> D*- a1+ and B0 -> Ds(*)- pi+ with a sample of 62.10^6 Upsilon(4S) decays into B meson pairs collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP II asymmetric e+ e- collider.

The rare decays of mesons are higher order effects in weak interactions. The main contributions to such decay processes are from the Z-penguin, the photonpenguin and the box diagram. At the quark level, these contributions are well known.…

The parton model for semileptonic B meson decays is studied with special attention to the decay distributions. We find that the spectra show dramatic variations when we introduce cuts on the hadronic energy or invariant mass of hadrons.…

Decay processes $B\rightarrow D_{\left(s\right)}^{\left(*\right)}h$ ($h=\pi,\rho$) are studied in the framework of the confined covariant quark model using the na\"{i}ve factorization assumption. We observe that the theoretical results on…

For purely leptonic decays of pseudoscalar mesons, the decay rates are related to the product of the relevant weak interaction-based CKM matrix element of the constituent quarks on the one hand, and the strong interaction parameter, the…

In this work we devise a new method to study quark anti-quark interactions beyond simple ladder-exchange that yield massless pions in the chiral limit. The method is based on the requirement to have a representation of the quark-gluon…

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 study the radiative $\rho$, $\omega$ and $\phi$ decay into $\pi^0 \pi^0 \gamma$ and $\pi^0 \eta \gamma $ taking into account mechanisms in which there are two sequential vector-vector-pseudoscalar or axial-vector--vector--pseudoscalar…
