We address Standard Model predictions for flavor-changing radiative transitions of the pseudoscalar charm mesons. Short-distance contributions in $D$ radiative transitions are contrasted with those in B decays. A full analysis is presented…
Decay amplitudes of D(D_s)->f0(980)X, X=pi, K, are compared to experimental branching ratios with the aim of singling out the poorly known D->f0(980) transition form factor in these amplitudes. Since the other elements of the amplitudes are…
We consider QCD with valence and sea quarks obeying different boundary conditions. We point out that the energy of low lying two hadron states do not depend on the boundary condition of the sea quarks (up to exponentially small…
We evaluate the non leptonic decays $B \to D^* \pi \pi$ and $B \to D^* \rho \pi$ in the limit of infinitely heavy quarks, assuming the dominance of intermediate positive parity charmed resonances. We find that the branching ratios are of…
The properties of the resonance X(3872) are discussed under the assumption that this resonance is dominantly a `molecular' $J^{PC}=1^{++}$ state of neutral $D$ and $D^*$ mesons. It is argued that in these properties should dominate the…
Motivated by the LHCb observation of exotic states $X_{0,1}(2900)$ with four open quark flavors in the $D^- K^+$ invariant mass distribution in the decay channel $B^\pm \to D^+ D^- K^\pm$, we study the spectrum and decay properties of the…
We give a general formulation of the quark-diagram scheme for the nonleptonic weak decays of baryons. We apply it to all the decays of the antitriplet and sextet charmed baryons and express their decay amplitudes in terms of the…
Inspired by the recent report of the exotic states $X_{0}(2900)$ and $X_{1}(2900)$ with four different quark flavors in the $D^{-}K^{+}$ invariant mass distributions of the decay process $B^{+}\rightarrow D^{+}D^{-}K^{+}$ by the LHCb…
The parameters of the interfering $\psi(3770)$ resonance should be determined from the data on the reactions $e^+e^-$\,$\to$\,$D\bar D$ with the use of the models satisfying the elastic unitarity requirement. The selection of such models…
The spectroscopic parameters and decay channels of the doubly charged scalar, pseudoscalar and axial-vector charm-strange tetraquarks $Z_{ \overline{c}s}=[sd][\overline u \overline c]$ are explored within framework of the QCD sum rule. The…
We have studied the dominant radiative transitions of the charmonium $S$-and $P$-wave states within the covariant confined quark model. The gauge invariant leading-order transition amplitudes have been expressed by using either the…
Charmed baryon decays play an important role in studying the weak and strong interactions. Charmed baryon decays decaying into an octet baryon and a pseudoscalar meson have been studied in the framework of rescattering dynamics at the…
I introduce an entirely new dynamical description for exotic charmoniumlike hadrons, based upon the competing effects of the strong attraction between quarks in a diquark, and the inability of the diquark to hadronize on its own due to…
Exclusive B decays can be factorized as convolutions of hard scattering amplitudes involving the weak interaction with universal hadron distribution amplitudes, thus providing a new QCD-based phenomenology. In addition, semi-leptonic decay…
Exclusive semileptonic B decays to radially excited charmed mesons and rare radiative B decay to the orbitally excited tensor K_2^*(1430) meson are investigated in the framework of the relativistic quark model based on the quasipotential…

We calculate the scattering amplitudes of Goldstone bosons off the pseudoscalar D-mesons in unitarized heavy meson chiral approach. The low energy constants appearing in $\mathcal{O}(p^2)$ chiral Lagrangian are determined by fitting lattice…
If the X(3872) is a loosely-bound molecule of the charm mesons D^0 \bar D^{*0} and D^{*0} \bar D^0, it can decay through the decay of a constituent in a hadronic channel with a nearby threshold, such as J/\psi \omega or J/\psi \rho. The…
The charm quark offers interesting opportunities to cross-check the mechanism of CP violation precisely tested in the strange and beauty sectors. In this paper, we exploit the angular and quantum correlations in the D\bar{D} pairs produced…
Motivated by the recent observations of $T^*_{cs0}(2870)^0$, $T^*_{c\bar s 0}(2900)^0$ and $T^*_{c\bar s 0}(2900)^{++}$ open-charmed tetraquark states by LHCb, we study the decays of heavy mesons to these open-charmed tetraquark states…
