A formalism for measuring time-dependent CP violation in B_q -> J/\psi h+ h- decays with J/\psi-> mu+ mu- is developed for the general case where there can be many h+ h- final states of different angular momentum present. Here h refers to…
Recently Belle has established the 90% confidence level (CL) upper limit $\b < 9.4 \times 10^{-7}$ for the branching ratio for $B^0\to J/\psi \phi$, a process expected to be suppressed by the Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka (OZI) rule disfavoring…
We calculate the J/{\psi} mass, leptonic width and radiative decay rate to \gamma \eta_c from lattice QCD including u, d and s quarks in the sea for the first time. We use the Highly Improved Staggered Quark formalism and nonperturbatively…
We consider the momentum-dependent effects in Higgs couplings generated by physics beyond the standard model. We take a model-dependent approach, in which we can fully compute the non-local effects from physics not directly reachable by the…
The two body non-leptonic $\Lambda_b$ decays are analyzed in factorization approximation, using quark model, $\xi = 1 / N_c$ as a free parameter. It is shown that the experimental branching ratio for $\Lambda_b \longrightarrow \Lambda…
We present a measurement of inclusive $J/\psi$ production at mid-rapidity ($|y|<1$) in $p+p$ collisions at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}$ = 200 GeV with the STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The…
Observation is reported for a structure near the $J/\psi\phi$ threshold in $B^+\rightarrow J/\psi\phi K^+$ decays produced in $\bar{p} p $ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=1.96 \TeV$ with a statistical significance of beyond 5 standard deviations.
We perform a model-independent analysis of the data on branching ratios and CP asymmetries of $B\to\phi K$ and $B\to\eta^{(')} K^{(*)}$ modes. The present data is encouraging to look for indirect evidences of physics beyond the Standard…
In terms of a new QCD factorization formula for J/$\psi$ production, we calculate the J/$\psi$ suppression in nuclear collisions by including the multiple scattering between the pre-J/$\psi$ partonic states and the nuclear medium. We find…
We use QCD sum rules to analyze the semileptonic transition $B \to \pi \ell \nu$ in the limit $m_b \to \infty$. We derive the dependence of the form factor $F_1(0)$ on the heavy quark mass, which is compatible with the expected dependence…
A detailed theoretical derivation of the cross sections of $e^+e^- \to e^+e^-$ and $e^+e^- \to \mu^+\mu^-$ around the $J/\psi$ resonance is reported. The resonance and interference parts of the cross sections, related to $J/\psi$ resonance…
Dispersive constraints on the shape of the form factors which describe the exclusive decays B -> D^(*) l nu are derived by fully exploiting spin symmetry in the ground-state doublet of heavy-light mesons. The analysis includes all twenty…
A search for the rare decay of a $B^{0}$ or $B^{0}_{s}$ meson into the final state $J/\psi\gamma$ is performed, using data collected by the LHCb experiment in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$ and $8$ TeV, corresponding to an integrated…
The first lattice QCD calculation of the form factors governing $\Lambda_c \to \Lambda \ell^+ \nu_\ell$ decays is reported. The calculation was performed with two different lattice spacings and includes one ensemble with a pion mass of…

We present a framework to analyze effects of new physics beyond the standard model on $B$-$\bar B$ mixing and $CP$ violation in $B$ decays in a model-independent manner. Assuming that tree level decay amplitudes are dominated by the…
In this paper, new methodology -- direct approach -- for the determination of the attainable CR type bound of the pure state model, is proposed and successfully applied to the wide variety of pure state models, for example, the…
The recent observations of the purely leptonic decay $\Ds \to \mu^+ \nu_{\mu}$ and $\tau^+\nu_{\tau}$ at CLEO-c and $B$ factory may allow a possible contribution from a charged Higgs boson. One such measurement of the decay constant…
If nuclear collisions lead to QGP formation then the ratio of $\psi\prime$ over $J/\psi$ will remain constant with $E_T$ as both $J/\psi$ and $\psi\prime$ are melted in the QGP. On the other hand, if hot hadronic matter is produced, the…
In the QGP motivated threshold model, in addition to the normal nuclear absorption, $J/\psi$'s are subjected to an additional "anomalous" suppression. We have analysed the recently published PHENIX data on the participant number dependence…
