The Feynman amplitude for the decay of the $J/\psi$ meson into baryon-antibaryon can be written as a sum of three sub-amplitudes: a purely strong, a purely electromagnetic and a mixed strong-electromagnetic. Assuming that the strong and…
The decays $\rho^0\to 2\pi^+2\pi^-$ and $\rho^0\to 2\pi^0\pi^+\pi^-$ are studied using various effective Lagrangians for $\pi$ and $\rho$ (and in some cases $a_1$) mesons, all of which respect the approximate chiral symmetry of the strong…
A decay of a heavy hybrid is expected to produce light mesons flying out with speeds comparable to the speed of light and phenomenological models of the decay must respect symmetries of special relativity. We study consequences of this…
The decay modes and fractions in particle physics are some quantitative and very complex questions. Various decays of particles and some known decay formulas are discussed. Many important decays of particles and some known decays of…

We discuss the very rare, exclusive hadronic decays of a Z boson into a meson and a photon. The QCD factorization approach allows to organize the decay amplitude as an expansion in powers of $\Lambda_{\rm QCD}/m_Z\,$, where the leading…
Semileptonic decays of heavy baryons consisting of one heavy (Q=b,c) and two light (q=u,d,s) quarks are considered in the heavy-quark--light-diquark approximation. The relativistic quasipotential equation is used for obtaining masses and…
Strong interaction effects are addressed in connection to extracting |V_{cb}|. A comprehensive approach is described not relying on a 1/m_c expansion; it allows a percent accuracy without ad hoc assumptions about higher-order effects. An…
We have systematically calculated the strong decays of the low-lying $\rho$-mode $1P$-wave $\Lambda_{c(b)}$, $\Sigma_{c(b)}$, $\Xi_{c(b)}$, $\Xi^{'}_{c(b)}$, $\Omega_{c(b)}$ baryons using the chiral quark model within the $j$-$j$ coupling…
The magnetic moments, transition magnetic moments and the radiative decay widths of singly charmed baryons are calculated with $ {J^P = \frac{1}{2}}^+$ and $ {J^P = \frac{3}{2}}^+$ in the constitute quark model. Further, the strong decay…
Employing the heavy quark expansion model with the kinetic scheme, we evaluate $\alpha_S(m_c^2)$, the strong coupling constant at the charm quark mass $m_c$ with data on inclusive semileptonic decays of charmed mesons. Using the…

We study the decay of a very massive closed superstring (i.e. \alpha' M^2>> 1) in the unique state of maximum angular momentum. This is done in flat ten-dimensional spacetime and in the regime of weak string coupling, where the dominant…
