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…

Uncertainty in the PQCD calculation of B decays is investigated in $B\to \pi$, $B\to D$ transition form factors and $B\to D\pi$ decay amplitudes. $B$ meson distributionamplitude dependence is studied by taking three kinds of distribution…

The neutral $B$ meson lifetime is measured with the data collected by the BaBar detector at the PEP-II storage ring during the years 1999 and 2000, with a total integrated luminosity of 20.7 ${\rm fb}^{-1}$. The decays $B^0 \to D^{*-}…

$\alpha$ decay occurs in both ground states and isomers of nuclei. In this work, we use the two-potential approach to systematically study whether isomeric states play a key role on $\alpha$ particle clustering or not. The results indicate…

Heavy-ion storage rings have relatively large momentum acceptance which allows for multiple ion species to circulate at the same time. This needs to be considered in radioactive decay measurements of highly charged ions, where atomic charge…

In this work we study the isospin-violating decays of $B_{c}(1P)^{+}\to B_{c}^{(*)+}\pi^{0}$, which may provide additional information for the determination of the properties of the first orbital excitation states of $B_{c}(1P)^{+}$. By…

Bound-state $\beta^-$-decay is a rare radioactive process where the created electron is trapped in an atomic orbital instead of being emitted. It can be observed in highly ionized atoms in particular when normal beta decay is energetically…
