The two-body decay rate of a weakly decaying particle (such as the kaon) is shown to be proportional to the square of a well-defined transition matrix element in finite volume. Contrary to the physical amplitude, the latter can be extracted…
We investigate the radiative dileptonic decays $B_s(B_d)\to\gamma l^+l^-$ within the standard model. Using the constituent quark model, the branching ratios turn out to be around $5\times 10^{-9}$ for $B_s\to \gamma \mu^+\mu^- $ and around…
We present the results of a study of the semileptonic decays of the $B_c$-meson and the lowest lying doubly heavy baryons using the relativistic quark model. We do not employ a heavy quark mass expansion but keep the masses of the heavy…

Semileptonic decays $D\to K,K^*,\pi,\rho$, $D_s\to \eta,\eta',\phi$, and $B\to D,D^*,\pi,\rho$ are analyzed within the dispersion formulation of the quark model. The form factors at timelike $q$ are derived by the analytical continuation…
We review recent advances in the theory of strong-interaction effects and final-state interactions in hadronic weak decays of heavy mesons. In the heavy-quark limit, the amplitudes for most nonleptonic, two-body B decays can be calculated…

Semi-leptonic $B_s \to K \ell \nu$ and $B_s \to D_s \ell \nu$ decays provide an alternative $b$-decay channel to determine the CKM matrix elements $|V_{ub}|$ and $|V_{cb}|$ or to obtain $R$-ratios to investigate lepton flavor universality…
