The meson decays $B\to D\tau\nu$ and $B\to D^* \tau \nu$ are sensitive probes of the $b\to c\tau\nu$ transition. In this work we present a complete framework to obtain the maximum information on the physics of $B\to D^{(*)}\tau\nu$ with…
These lectures review the progress made in our present understanding of $B$ decays. The emphasis here is on applications of QCD to $B$ decays and the attendant perturbative and non-perturbative uncertainties, which limit present theoretical…
We review the current status and implications of the anomalies (i.e. deviations from the Standard Model predictions) in semi-leptonic $B$ meson decays, both in the charged and in the neutral current. In $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ transitions…
We study $D \to \pi\pi$ decays with final state interactions considered in one-particle-exchange method. A clear physical picture for final state interactions based on quark and hadronic level diagrams is presented. A strong phase is…
Top physics provides a fertile ground for new-physics searches. At present, most top observables appear to be in good agreement with the respective Standard Model predictions. However, in the case of decay modes that are suppressed in the…
The b to d d s bar transition gives extremely small branching ratios within the standard model, thus providing an appropriate ground for testing new physics. Using renormalization group technique we determine the Wilson coefficients and the…
Standard regression discontinuity design (RDD) models rely on the continuity of expected potential outcomes at the cutoff. The standard continuity assumption can be violated by strategic manipulation of the running variable, which is…
After a short introduction to the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP), we review some of the physical predictions of the GUP, and we focus in particular on the bounds that present experimental tests can put on the value of the…
Particularly interesting processes to test the Standard Model are non-leptonic $B^0_s \rightarrow D_s^{\pm} K^{\mp}$ transitions. As these decays occur via pure tree diagrams, they allow a theoretically clean determination of the angle…
We study the effect of sigma meson on the $D_1(2430) \to D\pi\pi$ decay by constructing an effective Lagrangian preserving the chiral symmetry and the heavy quark symmetry. The sigma meson is included through a linear sigma model, in which…
Employing a unified Dyson-Schwinger/Bethe-Salpeter equations approach, we calculate the strong decay couplings $D^* D \pi$ and $B^* B \pi$ within the so-called impulse-approximation in the moving frame. The $B^* B \pi$ estimation is…
Spurious correlations in training data significantly hinder the generalization capability of machine learning models when faced with distribution shifts, leading to the proposition of numberous debiasing methods. However, it remains to be…
Fiducial production cross sections measurements of Standard Model processes, in principle, provide constraints on new physics scenarios via a comparison of the predicted Standard Model cross section and the observed cross section. This…
We prove the $l^2$ Decoupling Conjecture for compact hypersurfaces with positive definite second fundamental form and also for the cone. This has a wide range of important consequences. One of them is the validity of the Discrete…
We obtain large deviation results for non-uniformly expanding maps with non-flat singularities or criticalities and for partially hyperbolic non-uniformly expanding attracting sets. That is, given a continuous function we consider its space…
Recently, the LHCb collaboration announced a preliminary result of the test of lepton flavor universality (LFU) in $B\to D^{(\ast)}$ semi-leptonic decays: $R_{D}^{\rm LHCb2022} = 0.441 \pm 0.089$ and $R_{D^{\ast}}^{\rm LHCb2022} = 0.281 \pm…
We perform a detailed study of the consequences of isospin symmetry in the Cabibbo favoured $D\to\Kbar\pi\pi$ decays. These processes are important for precision testing of the Standard Model and for hadronic physics. Combining isospin…
The width of three-body single-pion decay process $d^*\to NN\pi^{0,\pm}$ is calculated by using the $d^*$ wave function obtained from our chiral SU(3) constituent quark model calculation. The effect of the dynamical structure on the width…
