The possible neutral $D^{(*)}\bar{D}^{(*)}$ and $B^{(*)}\bar{B}^{(*)}$ molecular states are studied in the framework of the constituent quark models, which is extended by including the $s$-channel one gluon exchange. Using different types…
After a pedagogical introduction to the calculation of weak matrix elements on the lattice, I review some of the lattice's most recent predictions concerning the weak decays of $B$-mesons. Amongst the topics covered are the determinations…
In this article, we review the current status of $B$-mixing and $b$-hadron lifetimes both from experimental and theoretical points of view. Furthermore, we discuss the phenomenological potential of these observables for deepening our…
Recently, the new structure $G(3900)$ observed by the BESIII Collaboration in the $e^+e^-\to D\bar{D}$ was identified to be the $P$-wave $D\bar{D}^\ast/\bar{D}D^\ast$ vector molecular resonance using a unified meson exchange model. Apart…
In the present work, we propose to search the charmonium-like states $Z_c(3900$) and $Z_c(4020)$ in the $B_c$ decay. In an effective Lagrangian approach, the branching ratios of $B_c^+ \to Z_c(3900)^+ \pi^0$ and $B_c^+\to Z_c (4020)^+…
Recently, the LHCb Collaboration reported on the evidence for a hidden charm pentaquark state with strangeness, i.e., $P_{cs}(4459)$, in the $J/\psi\Lambda$ invariant mass distribution of the $\Xi_b^-\to J/\psi \Lambda K^-$ decay. In this…
We use QCD spectral sum rules (QSSR) and the factorization properties of molecule currents to estimate the masses and couplings of the $\bar D^*D$ and $\bar B^*B~(1^{++})$ molecules at N2LO of PT QCD. We include in the OPE the contributions…
There are two apparent puzzles connected with the two-body and three-body doubly charmed baryonic B decays. First, earlier calculations based on QCD sum rules or the diquark model predict $Br(\bar B^0\to\Xi_c^+\bar\Lambda_c^-)\approx…
There must be Coulomb bound states of a pair of hadrons, which are stable against the strong interaction, with opposite electric charges. Such bound states are hadronic atoms. We study the properties and the production of the ground-state…
We calculate the total cross section and transverse momentum distributions for the production of enigmatic $\chi_{c,1}(3872)$ (or X(3872)) assuming different scenarios: $c \bar c$ state and $D^{0*} {\bar D}^0 + D^0 {\bar D}^{0*}$ molecule.…
Recoil correction appears at $O(\frac{1}{M})$, which turns out to be very essential for the hadronic molecules with heavy flavor. In the past, we always thought that the recoil corrections were unfavorable to the formation of the molecular…
We analyze the branching ratios of B to D(*) + Ds0*(Ds1) decays using the factorization hypothesis. The B to D(*) transition form factors are taken from a model-independent analysis done by Caprini, Lellouch and Neubert based on heavy quark…
We report a search for $B$ decays to selected final states with the $\eta_c$ meson: $B^{\pm}\to K^{\pm}\eta_c\pi^+\pi^-$, $B^{\pm}\to K^{\pm}\eta_c\omega$, $B^{\pm}\to K^{\pm}\eta_c\eta$ and $B^{\pm}\to K^{\pm}\eta_c\pi^0$. The analysis is…
If the quantum numbers of the X(3872) are J^{PC}=1^{++}, the measurement of its mass implies that it is either a loosely-bound hadronic molecule whose constituents are a superposition of the charm mesons pairs D^{*0} Dbar^0 and D^0…
We present results and prospects for searches for rare B and D meson decays with final state dimuons, including B_s\to\mu\mu, B_d\to\mu\mu, and D\to\mu\mu. Upper limits on the branching fractions are compared to previous CDF measurements,…
We report on further evidence that the Y(3940) and the recently observed Y(4140) are heavy hadron molecule states with quantum numbers J(PC) = 0(++). The Y(3940) state is considered to be a superposition of D*(+)D*(-) and D*(0) barD*(0),…
We report measurements related to hadronic $B$ decays to final states that contain charm mesons. The analyses are performed on a $62.8~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ data set collected by the Belle II experiment at a center-of-mass energy corresponding…
The $b \to c$ semileptonic sum rules provide relations between the decay rates of $B \to D^{(*)} \tau\bar\nu$ and $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c \tau\bar\nu$. Starting from the heavy quark and zero-recoil limits, we revisit the derivation of the…
Three-body semileptonic $\tau$-decays offer a path to understand the properties of light hadronic systems and CP symmetry violations through searches for electric dipole moments. In studies of electro-weak physics, the hadronic part of the…
Using about 23M $B \bar B$ events collected in 1999-2000 with the BABAR detector, we report the observation of several hundred $B \to D^{(*)}\bar D^{(*)}K$ decays with two completely reconstructed D mesons. The preliminary branching…
