The $SU(3)$-violating decays $\Phi^{2S} \goto \Phi^{1S} X$, where $X = \pi^0$ or $\eta$ and $\Phi = J/\psi$ or $\Upsilon$ have been recently proposed as a means of probing the light quark masses beyond leading order in chiral perturbation…

Experimental measurements of the ratios $R(D^{(*)})\equiv\frac{\Gamma(B\to D^{(*)}\tau\nu)}{\Gamma(B\to D^{(*)}\ell\nu)}$ ($\ell=e,\mu$) show a $3.9\sigma$ deviation from the Standard Model prediction. In the absence of light right-handed…

The semileptonic decays $B_c^+\rightarrow P(V) +\ell^++\bar{\nu}_\ell$ and the nonleptonic decays $B_c^+\rightarrow P(V)+L$, where $P(V)$ denotes a pseudoscalar (vector) charmonium or ($\bar{b}s$)-meson, and $L$ denotes a light meson, are…

Inspired by the potential prospects of ${\Upsilon}(nS)$ data samples ($n$ $=$ $1$, $2$, $3$) at LHC and SuperKEKB, ${\Upsilon}(nS)$ ${\to}$ $B_{c}{\rho}$, $B_{c}K^{\ast}$ decays are studied phenomenologically with pQCD approach. Branching…

Based on lattice non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) studies we present results for Bethe-Salpeter amplitudes for $\Upsilon(1S)$, $\Upsilon(2S)$ and $\Upsilon(3S)$ in vacuum as well as in quark-gluon plasma. Our study is based on 2+1 flavor $48^3…
