The decays $B \to PP$, where $P$ denotes a pseudoscalar meson, are analyzed, with emphasis on charmless final states. Numerous triangle relations for amplitudes hold within SU(3) symmetry, relating (for example) the decays $B^+ \to \pi^+…
Hadronic charmless B decays to scalar mesons are studied within the framework of QCD factorization (QCDF). Considering two different scenarios for scalar mesons above 1 GeV, we find that the data favor the scenario in which the scalars…
In this work, we study the ($S$, $P$ and $D$)-wave $K^+K^-$ contributions to $B\to KKK$ decays in the perturbative QCD approach at leading order. Within the two-meson wave functions describing the nonperturbative dynamics in the kaon-pair…

The framework under which decays $\Lambda_{b}(\frac{1}{2}^{+})\rightarrow B(\frac{1}{2}^{+})+M$ are analyzed is not applicable for the decays $\Lambda_{b}(\frac{1}{2}^{+})\rightarrow B^{\ast}(\frac{3}{2} ^{+})+M$. These decays occur through…

Based on SU(3) flavor symmetry, we decompose the decay amplitudes of bottom baryon decays to a pseudoscalar meson and an octet (a decuplet) pentaquark in terms of three (two) invariant amplitudes $T_1$ and $T_{2,3}$ ($\tilde T_1$ and…
We study the charmful three-body baryonic B decays with $D^{(*)}$ or $J/\Psi$ in the final state. We explain the measured rates of $\bar B^0\to n\bar p D^{*+}$, $\bar B^0\to p\bar p D^{(*)0}$, and $B^-\to \Lambda \bar p J/\Psi$ and predict…
Two body decays of charm mesons are studied by describing their amplitude in terms of a sum of factorizable and non-factorizable ones. The former is estimated by using a naive factorization while the latter is calculated by using a hard…
Inspired by the recent BESIII measurement of the decay asymmetry and the phase shift between $S$- and $P$-wave amplitudes in the decay $\Lambda_c^+\to \Xi^0K^+$, we perform a global fit to the experimental data of charmed baryon decays…
Decays of the D mesons to two pseudoscalars, to two vectors, and to pseudoscalar plus vector are discussed in the context of broken flavor SU(3). A few assumptions are used to reduce the number of parameters. Amplitudes are fit to the…
We calculate the two-body strong decays of the orbitally excited scalar mesons $D_0^*(2400)$ and $D_J^*(3000)$ by using the relativistic Bethe-Salpeter (BS) method. $D_J^*(3000)$ was observed recently by the LHCb Collaboration, the quantum…
In this work, we calculate the branching ratios of the color-allowed two-body nonleptonic decays of the bottom baryons, which include the $\Xi_b\to \Xi_c^{(*)}$ and $\Omega_b\to \Omega_c^{(*)}$ weak transitions by emitting a pseudoscalar…

Non-leptonic D meson decays may provide a reliable testbed for the multiquark interpretation of light scalar mesons. In this letter we consider D_s decay and show that a 4-quark f_0(980) meson could induce a decay pattern, which is…
