From inclusive measurements it is known that about 7% of all $B$ mesons decay into final states with baryons. In these decays, some striking features become visible compared to mesonic decays. The largest branching fractions come with quite…
We report the first measurement of the branching fraction f00 for Upsilon(4S) --> B0B0bar. The data sample consists of 81.7 fb^-1 collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e^+e^- storage…
An overview is given over recent results on in-medium properties of hadrons, obtained in experiments with photon, proton and deuteron beams at ANKE, CBELSA/TAPS, Crystal Ball, HADES, and BigRIPS. These experiments focus on identifying…
We investigate meson's spectrum, decay constant and form factor in a nuclear medium through holographic two- and three-point correlation functions. To describe a nuclear medium composed of protons and neutrons, we consider a hard wall model…

We investigate the mass-shift of $P$-wave charmonium (${\chi_c}_0$, ${\chi_c}_1$) and $S$ and $P$-wave bottomonium ($\eta_b$, $\Upsilon$, ${\chi_b}_0$ and ${\chi_b}_1$) states in magnetized hot asymmetric nuclear matter using the…

The weak decays of B_{c} --> D_{s}^{*}l^{+}l^{-} (l=mu,tau) are investigated in the Standard Model with fourth generation (SM4). Taking fourth generation quark mass m_{t'} of about 300 to 600 GeV with the CKM matrix elements…
We update the Standard-Model predictions for several quantities related to $B_s - \bar B_s$ and $B_d - \bar B_d$ mixing. The mass and width differences in the $B_s$ system read $ \Delta M_s^{\rm SM} = (17.3 \pm 2.6) ps^{-1}$ and $\Delta…
We report on a search for heavy neutrinos in B-meson decays. The results are obtained using a data sample that contains 772x10^6 BB-bar pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e-…
The large data sample being recorded with the Belle detector at the $\Upsilon$(5S) energy provides a unique opportunity to study the less-well-known $B_s^{0}$ meson decays. Following our recent measurement of $B_s^{0}\to D_s^{-}\pi^{+}$ in…
With anticipation of abundant Upsilons data sample at high-luminosity heavy-flavor experiments in the future, we studied nonleptonic two-body weak decays of ${\Upsilon}(nS)$ below the open-bottom threshold with $n$ $=$ $1$, $2$ and $3$. It…
In this contribution we compute some nonleptonic and semileptonic decay widths of $B_s$ mesons, working in the context of constituent quark models \cite{Albertus:2014gba, Albertus:2014bfa}. For the case of semileptonic decays we consider…
In this work, we investigate the re-scattering effects in the radiative decay $\Upsilon(5S)\to\eta_b+\gamma$, which were suggested to be crucially important for understanding the anomalous largeness of the branching ratios…
Starting with the Strongly Correlated Quark Model of a hadron structure, SCQM, we demonstrate how the properties of mesons and baryons are modified in a hot and dense nuclear environment. These in-medium modifications can lead to the…

Hadron properties in dense medium are treated in a unified way in a skyrmion model constructed with an effective Lagrangian, in which the rho and omega vector mesons are introduced as hidden gauge bosons, valid up to O(p^4) terms in chiral…
