The weak radiative decay of $D^0\to V\gamma$ with $V=\bar{K}^0$, and $\phi$, $\rho^0$, and $\omega$, is systematically studied in the vector meson dominance (VMD) model. It allows us to distinguish the short-distance mechanisms which can be…

We study three-body nonleptonic decays $B\to VVP$ by introducing two-meson distribution amplitudes for the vector-pseudoscalar pair, such that the analysis is simplified into the one for two-body decays. The twist-2 and twist-3 $\phi K$…
Semileptonic $B_s \to K \ell \nu$ decays provide an alternative $b$-decay channel to determine the CKM matrix element $|V_{ub}|$, and to obtain a $R$-ratio to investigate lepton-flavor-universality violations. Results for the CKM matrix…
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…

I consider nonleptonic decays of B mesons into two light mesons using the light-cone wave functions for the mesons. In the heavy quark limit, nonfactorizable contributions are calculable from first principles in some decay modes. I review…
A generalization of the parton-like formula is used for the first time to find the differential distributions in the inclusive semileptonic weak decays of the B meson. The main features of this new approach are the treatment of the b-quark…
We investigate the $B$ and $D$ mesons in the relativistic quark model by applying the variational method with the Gaussian wave function. We calculate the Fermi momentum parameter $p_{_F}$, and obtain $p_{_F} = 0.50 \sim 0.54$ GeV, which is…
