We observe the process $\Upsilon(2S)\to D_s^{(*)+} D_{sJ}^{-}$ and continuum production $e^+e^- \to D_s^{(*)+} D_{sJ}^- $ at $\sqrt{s} = 10.52$ GeV (and their charge conjugates) using the data samples collected by the Belle detector at…

An expression for the Dalitz plot of the semileptonic decay of a charged kaon, including radiative corrections to order O[\alpha \pi)(q/M_1)], where q is the four-momentum transfer and M_1 is the mass of the decaying kaon, is obtained.…

The branching ratios of the semileptonic decay widths of the charm mesons are analyzed, using three different models for the Isgur-Wise functions, such as ${D^0} \to {K^ - }{l^ + }\upsilon $, ${D^0} \to {\pi ^ - }{l^ + }\nu $, ${D_s} \to…

The spectrum and decay properties of radially excited $D_s$ states are examined in a new model. Good agreement is obtained with the properties of two recently announced $D_s$ mesons identified as $D_{s0}(2860) = c\bar{s}(2P)$ and…

Interpretation of D-meson decay-dynamics has revealed itself to be strongly dependent on our understanding of the light-meson sector. The interplay becomes particularly evident in Dalitz plot analyses to study physics within and beyond the…

We report the observation of a new DsJ meson produced in B+ -> D0-bar DsJ -> D0-bar D0 K+. This state has a mass of M = 2715 +-11(stat) +11-14(syst) MeV/c^2, a width Gamma = 115 +-20(stat) +36-32(syst) MeV/c^2 and a spin-parity 1-. The…

The semileptonic decays of $B_q$ mesons ($q=u,d,s$) to $J^P=2^+$ charmed mesons are investigated. The form factors parametrising the hadronic matrix elements of the weak vector and axial-vector quark currents are evaluated using light-cone…

We present results of a 2+1+1 flavor twisted mass lattice QCD computation of the spectrum of $D$ mesons and $D_s$ mesons and of charmonium. Particular focus is put on the positive parity $D$ states (so-called $D^{\ast \ast}$ mesons) with…

The meson decays $B\to D\tau\nu$ and $B\to D^* \tau \nu$ are sensitive probes of the $b\to c\tau\nu$ transition. In this work we present a complete framework to obtain the maximum information on the physics of $B\to D^{(*)}\tau\nu$ with…

The processes $D^0\to K^0 K^-\pi^+$ and $D^0\to\ok K^+\pi^-$ involve intermediate vector resonances whose amplitudes and phases are related to each other via flavor-SU(3) symmetry. Dalitz plots for these two processes can shed light on the…
