We report the results of a search for $B^{-} \to \jpsi \Lambda \pbar$ based on a data set of 78 fb$^{-1}$ data collected at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric $e^+ e^-$ collider. No substantial…

The analysis of $B \to \jpsi K^{\star}_{2}(1430)$ decay mode is complicated by the fact that close to the $J^{PC}=2^{++}$ meson $\Kstart(1430)$, there lie other $J^{PC}=1^{--}$ and $J^{PC}=0^{++}$ resonances, $K^{\star}(1410)$ and…

This study focuses on the decay of the $B_c$ meson to S-wave charmonia. Starting with lattice inputs on $B_c\to J/\psi$ form factors, we have obtained the $B_c\to\eta_c$ form factors using heavy quark spin symmetry (HQSS) relations between…

In these lectures we give, first, the model-independent analysis of the exclusive rare decays B -> K l(bar) l and B_c -> D(D*) l(bar) l with special emphasis on the cascade decay B_c -> D(*)(-> D pi) l(bar) l. We derive a four-fold angular…

We calculate the form factors of the $\Lambda_b\to\Lambda_c(2625)$ and $\Xi_b\to\Xi_c(2815)$ transitions, and additionally evaluate the corresponding semileptonic decays and the color-allowed two-body nonleptonic decays. In order to obtain…

By analyzing $(448.1\pm2.9)\times10^6$ $\psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII collider, the decays of $\chi_{cJ} \to \Lambda\bar \Lambda \eta$ ($J=0$, 1 and 2) are observed for the first time with…

The $\b$ decay does not receive any nonspectator contributions and hence its theoretical calculation is relatively clean. Two different methods are employed for the study of $\b$. In the first method, both $b$ and $s$ quarks are treated as…

We study the lepton forward-backward asymmetry AFB and the longitudinal K* polarization FL, as well as an observable P2 derived from them, in the rare decays B->K*l+l-, where l+l- is either e+e- or mu+mu-, using the full sample of 471…

The quasi-two-body $B \to D (R\to) K \pi$ decays are calculated in PQCD approach based on the $k_T$ factorization by introducing the wave functions of $K\pi$ pair associated with the resonances $K^*(892)$, $K_0^*(1430)$ and $K_2^*(1430)$.…

We present a model for the $J/\psi\Lambda$ spectrum in $B^-\to J/\psi \Lambda \bar{p}$ decays, including the $P_{\psi s}^\Lambda(4338)$ baryon recently observed by the LHCb collaboration. We assume production via triangle diagrams which…

We consider the axial-vector mesons $K_1(1270)$ and $K_1(1400)$ as a mixture of two $|^3P_1\rangle$ and $|^1P_1\rangle$ states with the mixing angle $\theta$ that equal to $(-34\pm 13)^\circ$. We calculate the light-front distribution…
