Analyses of heavy mesons and baryons hadronic charmless decays using the flavor SU(3) symemtry can be formulated in two different forms. One is to construct the SU(3) irreducible representation amplitude (IRA) by decomposing effective…
The semileptonic decays and two-body nonleptonic decays of light baryon octet ($T_8$) and decuplet ($T_{10}$) consisting of light $u,d,s$ quarks are studied with the SU(3) flavor symmetry in this work. We obtain the amplitude relations…
Recent developments in the theory of weak decays of heavy flavours are reviewed. Applications to exclusive semileptonic B decays, the semileptonic branching ratio and charm counting, beauty lifetimes, and hadronic B decays are discussed.
The nonleptonic decays $\Lambda_{b}\rightarrow\Sigma_{c}^{*-}\pi^{+},\Xi_{c}^{*0}K^{0}$ and $\Lambda_{b}\rightarrow\Delta^{0}D^{0},\Sigma^{*-}D_{0}^{+}$ are studied. In addition, the decays…

Nonleptonic $B_c$ decays to $P$-wave charmonia and light $\pi^+$, $K^+$, and $\rho^+$, $K^{*+}$ mesons are analysed using factorization. The hadronic form factors parametrizing the $B_c \to \chi_{cJ}(h_c)$ matrix elements are expressed in…
The constituent picture of hadrons implies certain quantum mechanical inequalities which must hold in the potential models. Basing on this qualitative consideration I argue that it is not easy to increase significantly the scale of the…
We study Cabibbo-favored (CF) and singly Cabibbo-suppressed (SCS) two-body hadronic weak decays of the antitriplet charmed baryons $\Lambda_c^+$, $\Xi_c^0$ and $\Xi_c^+$ with more focus on the last two. Both factorizable and nonfactorizable…
Weak current-induced baryonic form factors at zero recoil are evaluated in the rest frame of the heavy parent baryon using the nonrelativistic quark model. Contrary to previous similar work in the literature, our quark model results do…
The two-body nonleptonic weak decays of \Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c P(V) (P and V represent pseudoscalar and vector mesons respectively) are analyzed in two models, one is the Bethe-Salpeter (B-S) model and the other is the hadronic wave…
This talk covers recent theoretical progress in exclusive semileptonic rare B-decays at low hadronic recoil. The efficient parametric suppression of the 1/mb corrections in this region provides opportunities to probe the Standard Model and…
Motivated by the prospects of the potential ${\Upsilon}(1S)$ particle at high-luminosity heavy-flavor experiments, we studied the ${\Upsilon}(1S)$ ${\to}$ $B_{c}M$ weak decays, where $M$ $=$ ${\pi}$, ${\rho}$, $K^{(\ast)}$. The…

I review new results on particles containing a charm or bottom quark, focusing on measurements that give insight into the dynamics of the decay process. Leptonic and semileptonic decays are the simplest modes, and they provide detailed…
We consider two SU(3) breaking parameters, $R_1(m_B)$ and $R_2(m_B)$, appearing in a relation between $B^+\to K\pi$ and $B^+\to\pi\pi$ amplitudes, which plays an important role in determining the weak phase $\gamma$. We identify an…
