In this paper, we studied the semileptonic decays $B_c^- \to (\eta_c, J/\psi) l ^- \bar{\nu}_l$ by employing the PQCD factorization approach, using the newly defined distribution amplitudes of the $B_c$ meson and the new kind of…
Recently, the deviation of the ratios $R(D)$, $R(D^{*})$ and $R(J/\psi)$ have been found between experimental data and the Standard Model predictions, which may be the hint of New Physics. In this work, we calculate these ratios within the…
We investigate the ten independent local form-factors relevant to the $b$-baryon decay $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \ell^+\ell^-$, combining information of lattice QCD and dispersive bounds. We propose a novel parametrization of the form factors…
The ALICE experiment has measured the inclusive J/$\psi$ production in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}} } = 2.76$ TeV down to zero transverse momentum in the rapidity range $2.5 < y < 4$. A suppression of the inclusive J/$\psi$…
Using data samples of $(10087\pm 44)\times10^{6}$ $J/\psi$ events and $(2712.4\pm 14.3)\times10^{6}$ $\psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, we search for the CP violating decays $J/\psi\rightarrow…
A comparison of the rates for psi(2S) -> pi^+ pi^- J/psi, J/psi -> l^+l^- and J/psi -> anything is used to determine the J/psi leptonic branching fractions. The results are B(J/psi -> e^+e^-) = (5.90 +/- 0.05 +/- 0.10)% and B(J/psi -> mu^+…
We present a model independent analysis of new-physics contributions to the decays K^+ \to \pi^+ \nu \bar \nu and K_L \to \pi^0 \nu \bar \nu. We parameterize the effects of new physics in these decays by two parameters: r_K and \theta_K,…

Within the Standard Model, we investigate the semi-leptonic weak decays of $J/\psi$. The various form factors of $J/\psi$ transiting to a single charmed meson ($D^{(*)}_{(d,s)}$) are studied in the framework of the QCD sum rules. These form…
The decays $B_d^0\to J/\psi K^0_{\text{S}}$and $B_s^0\to J/\psi\phi$ play a key role for the determination of the $B^0_q$-$\bar B^0_q$ ($q=d,s$) mixing phases $\phi_d$ and $\phi_s$, respectively. The theoretical precision of the extraction…
