We perform a global analysis of the $b\to c\tau\nu$ data using the recent lattice results on the $B_c\to J/\psi$ vector and axial-vector form factors. To explore the effects from the tensor operator of new physics beyond the standard model,…

The strongest bounds on some forms of Lorentz and CPT violation come from astrophysical data, and placing such bounds may require understanding and modeling distant sources of radiation. However, it is also desirable to have bounds that do…

We have analyzed the latest NA50 data on $J/\psi$ suppression in Pb + Pb collisions. $J/\psi$ production is assumed to be a two step process, (i) formation of $c\bar{c}$ pair, which is accurately calculable in QCD and (ii) formation of…

We have examined the available latest SPS data on $J/\psi$ suppression in Pb+Pb and In+In collisions at 158 A GeV. Our employed model, with parameters fixed by $p$-$p$ and $p$-nucleus collisions, gives excellent description of NA50 and NA60…

Using the QGP motivated threshold model, where all the $J/\psi$'s are suppressed above a threshold density, we have analyzed the latest version of the NA50 data on the centrality dependence of the $J/\psi$ over Drell-Yan ratio. The data are…

The $J/\psi D D$ form factor is evaluated in a QCD sum rule calculation for both $D$ and $J/\psi$ off-shell mesons. We study the double Borel sum rule for the three point function of two pseudoscalar and one vector meson current. We find…

We have analysed the NA50 data, on the centrality dependence of $p_T$ broadening of $J/\psi$'s, in Pb+Pb collisions, at the CERN-SPS. The data were analysed in a QCD based model, where $J/\psi$'s are suppressed in 'nuclear' medium. Without…

We propose a method to determine the CKM matrix element $|V_{ub}|$ using the global $q^2$ dependence of the dispersive bound on the form factors for $B\to \pi l\nu$ decay. Since the lattice calculation of the $B\to \pi l\nu$ form factor is…

We present a model-independent method to calculate the radiative transition without the momentum extrapolation for the off-shell transition factors. The on-shell transition factor is directly obtained from the lattice hadronic function. We…

We use our lattice QCD computation of the $B_c\rightarrow J/\psi$ form factors to determine the differential decay rate for the semitauonic decay channel and construct the ratio of branching fractions $R(J/\psi) = \mathcal{B}(B_c^-…

The $S$-wave scattering amplitudes of $J/\psi J/\psi$ with quantum numbers $J^{PC} = 0^{++}$ and $2^{++}$ are determined up to 6600\,MeV using lattice QCD calculations at $m_\pi \approx 420$ and 250\,MeV. The ${}^1S_0$ $J/\psi J/\psi$…

The inclusive $J/\psi$ nuclear modification factor $R_{\rm AA}$ in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$=2.76 TeV has been measured by ALICE as a function of centrality in the e$^+$e$^-$ decay channel at mid-rapidity $|y|<0.8$ and as a…

In the QGP based threshold model \cite{Blaizot:2000ev,Blaizot:1996nq}, in addition to the normal nuclear absorption, $J/\psi$'s are subjected to an 'anomalous' suppression such that above a threshold density $n_{J/\psi}$, all the $J/\psi$'s…

We present nonperturbative, model-independent parametrizations of the individual QCD form factors relevant to B -> D* l nu and B -> D l nu decays. These results follow from dispersion relations and analyticity, without recourse to heavy…

We derive model independent lower bounds on the CKM parameters (1-rhobar) and etabar as functions of the mixing-induced CP asymmetry S in B-> pi+ pi- and sin(2 beta) from B->psi K_S. The bounds do not depend on specific results of…

The data sample of $\Lambda_b^0\to J/\psi p K^-$ decays acquired with the LHCb detector from 7 and 8~TeV $pp$ collisions, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb$^{-1}$, is inspected for the presence of $J/\psi p$ or $J/\psi K^-$…

The results of searches for $B^{0}_{(s)} \rightarrow J/{\psi} p \overline{p}$ and $B^{+} \to J/{\psi} p \overline{p} {\pi}^{+}$ decays are reported. The analysis is based on a data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0…

Model-independent bounds are presented for the form-factors describing the semileptonic decay $\Lambda_b\to\Lambda_ce\bar\nu_e$ at the end-point of the lepton energy spectrum. For the axial-vector form-factor $f_1^A(1)$ we obtain…
