We compute the Darwin operator contribution ($1/m_b^3$ correction) to the width of the inclusive non-leptonic decay of a $B$ meson ($B^+$, $B_d$ or $B_s$), stemming from the quark flavour-changing transition $b \to q_1 \bar q_2 q_3$, where…
We present a phenomenological study of the rare double radiative decay $B\to K \gamma\gamma$ in the Standard Model (SM) and beyond. Using the operator product expansion (OPE) technique, we estimate the short-distance (SD) contribution to…
The operator product expansion (OPE) for the difference of vector and axial current correlators is analyzed for complex values of momentum q^2. The vector and axial spectral functions, taken from hadronic tau-decay data, are treated with…

An $SU(3)$ flavor projection operator technique is implemented to construct the baryon-meson scattering amplitude in the framework of the $1/N_c$ expansion of QCD, where $N_c$ is the number of color charges. The operator technique is…
A new class of enhanced non-perturbative corrections to the inclusive B->X_s+gamma decay rate is identified, which contribute first at order Lambda/m_b in the heavy-quark expansion and cannot be described using a local operator product…
The QCD finite energy sum rules method is used to show that the parameter of the K^0-\bar{K}_0 mixing \hat{B} is mainly determined by the value of g m_s< \bar{d} G_{\mu\nu} \sigma_{\mu\nu} d > and the vacuum expectation values of four-quark…
The combined large N_c and heavy quark limit for baryons containing a single heavy quark is discussed. The combined large N_c and heavy quark expansion of the heavy quark bilinear operators is obtained. In the combined expansion the…
We study the changes in the partial decay widths of excited charmonium states into $D \bar{D}$, when the D meson mass decreases in nuclear matter, taking the internal structure of the hadrons into account. Calculations within the 3P0 model…
When the bilocal heavy-quark effective theory (HQET) operator for the B-meson distribution amplitude has a light-like distance t between the quark and antiquark fields, the scale \sim 1/t separates the UV and IR regions, which induce the…
We apply a recent theoretical analysis of hadronic observables in inclusive semileptonic heavy hadron decays to the phenomenology of $B$ and $D$ mesons. Correlated bounds on the nonperturbative parameters $\bar\Lambda$ and $\lambda_1$ are…
We extend the Operator Product Expansion (OPE) for scattering amplitudes in planar N=4 SYM to account for all possible helicities of the external states. This is done by constructing a simple map between helicity configurations and…
We compute the contributions of dimension six two-quark operators to the non-leptonic decay width of heavy hadrons due to the flavor changing bottom-to-up-quark transition in the heavy quark expansion. Analytical expressions for the Darwin…
Lattice studies of the doubly-charm tetraquark $T_{cc}=cc\bar u\bar d$ require the determination of the $DD^*$ scattering amplitude, which most often incorporate only meson-meson interpolators. We additionally incorporate…
The spatial distributions of $[ud]$ diquark and heavy-light diquark of the SU(3)-flavor antitriplet charmed baryons are investigated by the two singly Cabibbo-suppressed hadronic weak decays, $\Lambda_c\to \Lambda K^+$ and $\Lambda_c\to…
Operator product expansions (OPEs) in quantum field theory (QFT) provide an asymptotic relation between products of local fields defined at points $x_1, \dots, x_n$ and local fields at point $y$ in the limit $x_1, \dots, x_n \to y$. They…
The $X_0(2900)$ observed by the LHCb Collaboration recently in the $D^-K^+$ invariant mass of the $B^+\to D^+D^-K^+$ process is the first exotic candidate with four different flavors, which opens a new era for the hadron community. Under…
Mixing in the D0 system may provide a sensitive probe for new physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) but has so far eluded experimental observation. The SM predictions are typically small (< 10^{-3}) for the mixing parameters x, y which, in…
The rate of mixing between a neutral kaon and an anti-kaon ($K^0-\bar{K}^0$) is given, in part, by a long-range matrix element, defined with two insertions of the weak Hamiltonian separated by physical, Minkowski time evolution. For…
