A review of recent results concerning decays of charmed mesons, charmed baryons and $\tau$ leptons for the Belle and BaBar Experiments is given. The review was presented at the 43$^{rd}$ Rencontres de Moriond (QCD and High Energy…
Thanks to the large cross-section for the production of strange and charm mesons at the Large Hadron Collider, LHCb has recently performed several new explorations of rare transitions that are highly suppressed or forbidden by the Standard…
Rare $|\Delta c|=|\Delta u|=1$ transitions into dineutrinos are strongly GIM-suppressed and constitute excellent null tests of the standard model. While branching ratios of $D \to P \,\nu \bar \nu$, $D \to P^+ P^- \, \nu \bar \nu$, $P=\pi,…
It is usually assumed that the production of baryons in $B$ meson decays is induced primarily by the quark level process $b\to c\bar ud$, where the charm quark hadronizes into a charmed baryon. With this assumption, the $\Lambda_c$ momentum…
We study exclusive B decays to final states containing a charmed baryon within the pole model framework. Since the strong coupling for $\Lambda_b\bar B N$ is larger than that for $\Sigma_b \bar BN$, the two-body charmful decay…
Cabibbo-allowed charmed meson decays into a pseudoscalar meson and an axial-vector meson are studied. The charm to axial-vector meson transition form factors are evaluated in the Isgur-Scora-Grinstein-Wise quark model. The dipole momentum…
We study the effect of scalar leptoquarks on the exclusive rare $B$ meson decays $\bar{B}_d^0 \rightarrow \bar{K}^{* 0}\left(\rightarrow K^-\pi^+\right) l^+ l^-$ in the full kinematically accessible physical region. We work out the…
The study of mesons and baryons which contain at least one charm quark is referred to as open charm physics. It offers the possibility to study up-type quark transitions. Since the $c$ quark can not be treated in any mass limit, theoretical…
We report on a two-flavour lattice QCD study of the D_s and D_s^* leptonic decays parameterized by the decay constants f_{D_s} and f_{D_s^*}. As the phenomenology in the D_s sector seems very promising in the next years with the experiments…
The long-standing anomaly in the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon indicates the presence of chirality violating new physics contributions. A possible solution involves scalar leptoquarks with left- and right-handed couplings to the top…
Second-generation theoretical technologies -- heavy quark expansions, QCD sum rules and QCD simulations on the lattice -- are arriving on the scene, allowing a treatment of charm decays that is genuinely based on QCD. The availability of…
In this work, based on the assumption of two-quark structure of the scalars, the charmless hadronic $B_c \to SP, SV$ decays(here, $S$, $P$, and $V$ denote the light scalar, pseudoscalar, and vector mesons, respectively) are investigated by…
The Standard Model (SM) predicts the universality of lepton couplings with the electroweak gauge bosons. Semileptonic decays of $b$-hadrons provide a powerful framework for testing the SM and probing possible New Physics effects. In…
Recent results involving hadronic decays of charmed mesons and baryons are reviewed. Information relevant to decay mechanisms and to light quark scalar mesons is discussed.
We use up to fourth-order charm fluctuations and their correlations with net baryon number, electric charge, and strangeness fluctuations, calculated within the framework of lattice QCD, to study the continuum partial pressure contributions…
We review results on rare and forbidden decays of D^0, D^+, and D^+_s mesons from experiments at FNAL. The decay modes studied have two leptons in the final state and, if observed, would constitute evidence for flavor-changing…
We analyze charm meson semileptonic decays using the measured ratios $\Gamma_L/\Gamma_T$ and $\Gamma_{+}/\Gamma_{-}$ from $D\to {\bar K}^{*}$ and the branching ratios for $D \to {\bar K}^{*}$ and $D \to {\bar K}$. First we introduce the…
Leptonic and semileptonic decays in the charm sector have been well studied in recent years. With the largest data sample near $D\bar D$ threshold, precision measurements of leptonic and semileptonic decays of charm meson and baryon are…
We present the selected recent charm results at Belle: (1) the $CP$ asymmetries and branching fractions for the decays of charm mesons, i.e. $D^{0}\to\pi^{+}\pi^{-}\eta,\,K^{+}K^{-}\eta$ and $D^{0}\to\phi\eta$; $D_{s}^{+}\to…
We review recent experimental results on B meson decays. These include measurements of the inclusive production of charmed and non-charmed mesons and baryons, the reconstruction of a large number of exclusive hadronic final states with…
