We consider the radiative decay b \to s \gamma in a supersymmetric extension of the standard model of particle interactions, where the $b$-quark mass is entirely radiative in origin. This is accomplished by the presence of nonholomorphic…
The decays of $B$ mesons to a pair of charmless pseudoscalar ($P$) mesons are analyzed within a framework of flavor SU(3). Symmetry breaking is taken into account in tree ($T$) amplitudes through ratios of decay constants; exact SU(3) is…

As part of a study BSM corrections to leptonic decays of the $B_c$ meson, Tran et al. (arXiv:1801.06927) use the covariant confining quark model (CCQM) to estimate the matrix element of the pseudo-scalar curent between the vacuum and the…
We present results for the strong widths corresponding to the $\Sigma_b\to \Lambda_b\, \pi$ and $\Sigma_b^{*}\to \Lambda_b\, \pi$ decays. We apply our model in Ref. Phys. Rev. D 72, 094022 (2005) where we previously studied the…
We report on studies of three types of B-meson decay that can contribute to an understanding of fundamental intergenerational quark mixing, charge-conjugation--parity violation, and long-distance quantum chromodynamics. Specifically, we…

I describe a model for heavy meson decays based on an effective quark-meson lagrangian. I consider the heavy mesons S with spin and parity J^P=(1+,0+), H with J^P=(1-,0-) and T^mu with J^P=(2+,1+), i.e. S and P wave heavy-light mesons. The…
A new technique is discussed that can be applied to $\Lambda_b^0$ baryon decays where decays with one missing particle can be discerned from background and their branching fractions determined, along with other properties of the decays.…
Semileptonic decays of Lambda_b and Lambda_c baryons are studied within the Relativistic Three-Quark Model using finite heavy quark mass values. Employing the same parameters as have been used previously for the description of exclusive…
In this paper, we study the production of charmonium pentaquark $c \bar c q q q$ from bottom baryon and B-meson decays under the flavor SU(3) symmetry. Decay amplitudes for various processes are parametrized in terms of the SU(3)…
The considerable influx of new data on B decays offers opportunities to determine some of the smaller contributions to the decay process, such as suppressed diagrams, and to test the relations between decay amplitudes implied by (broken)…
