In this paper, we present results on strong two-body decay widths of light $q\bar q$ mesons calculated in a covariant quark model. The model is based on the Bethe-Salpeter equation in its instantaneous approximation and has already been…
We review the two and three-body baryonic $B$ decays with the dibaryon (${\bf B\bar B'}$) as the final states. Accordingly, we summarize the experimental data of the branching fractions, angular asymmetries, and $CP$ asymmetries. Using the…
We review the physics of purely leptonic decays of $\pi^\pm$, $K^\pm$, $D^{\pm}$, $D_s^\pm$, and $B^\pm$ pseudoscalar mesons. The measured decay rates are related to the product of the relevant weak-interaction-based CKM matrix element of…
We compute various form factors involved in $B\to D^{(*)}$ transitions based on the perturbative QCD formalism, which includes Sudakov effects from the resummation of large radiative corrections in a heavy-light system. A two-parameter…
We study the three-body baryonic decay $ \bar{B}^{0}\rightarrow\Lambda^+_c \bar{p} \pi^0$ based on the factorization approach. The most important Feynman diagrams for this decay mode are factorizable and non-factorizable contributions, so…
We present results for different observables in weak decays of pseudoscalar and vector mesons with a heavy $c$ or $b$ quark. The calculations are done in a nonrelativistic constituent quark model improved at some instances by heavy quark…
We propose a model for $D^+ \to \pi^+ \pi^- \pi^+$ decays following experimental results which indicate that the two-pion interaction in the $S$-wave is dominated by the scalar resonances $f_0(600)/\sigma$ and $f_0(980)$. The weak decay…
We survey all possible supersymmetric three-body decays of the top quark in the framework of the MSSM and present detailed numerical analyses of the most relevant cases. Although the two-body channels are generally dominant, it is not…
Ratios of charmed meson and baryon semileptonic decay rates appear to be satisfactorily described by considering only the lowest-lying (S-wave) hadronic final states and assuming the kinematic factor describing phase space suppression is…
We compute the decay constants of the pseudoscalar mesons D and D_{s} using a linear combination of finite energy sum rules which minimize the contribution of the unknown continuum spectral function. We employ the recent three loop…
Leptonic and semi-leptonic $D$ decays at BESIII contribute the most precise experimental measurement of $|V_{cs(d)}|$ and form factor $f_{D_{(s)}}$ in the world based on 2.93 fb$^{-1}$ and 3.19 fb$^{-1}$ data taken at center-of-mass…
Estimating decay parameters in lattice simulations is a computationally demanding problem, requiring several volumes and momenta. We explore an alternative approach, where the transition amplitude can be extracted from the spectral…
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…
We systematically study the mass spectra and their two-body hadronic decays of the beauty-charm meson family considering the coupled channel effects. Our results can good explain the observed $B_c$ meson spectrum and the prediction of the…
We study two-body charmless hadronic decays of $B$ mesons to a pseudoscalar meson ($P$) and a tensor meson ($T$) in the frameworks of both flavor SU(3) symmetry and generalized factorization. Certain ways to test validity of the generalized…
The pionic decay rates of the excited $L=0,1$ $D$ mesons are calculated with a Hamiltonian model within the framework of the covariant Blankenbecler-Sugar {equation.} The interaction between the light quark and charm antiquark is described…
We report our theoretical calculations on the branching fractions for the semileptonic $B$ and $B_s$ decays, i.e., $B (B_s) \to (P,\, V,\, S,\,A) \ell \nu_\ell$, where $P$ and $V$ denote the pseudoscalar and vector mesons, respectively,…
The nonleptonic heavy meson decays $B\to D^{(*)}\pi(\rho), J/\psi K^{(*)}$ and $D\to K^{(*)}\pi$ are studied based on the three-scale perturbative QCD factorization theorem developed recently. In this formalism the Bauer-Stech-Wirbel…
We analyze the two-body charmed $B$ meson decays $B_{u,d,s} \to D^{(*)}P(V)$ in the factorization assisted topological amplitude approach, where $P(V)$ denoting a light pseudoscalar (vector) meson. Different from the conventional…
Dispersion relations---a corollary of unitarity and analyticity---are among the few methods which can be employed to study low energy processes in QCD. In this work we critically revisit the calculation of decay widths of a hypothetical…
