The $X$(3872) formation and decay processes in the $B$-decay are investigated by a $c\bar c$-two-meson hybrid model. The two-meson state consists of the $D^0{\bar D}^*{}^0$, $D^+D^{*-}$, $J/\psi\rho$, and $J/\psi\omega$ channels. The…
The D_s^+ pi^0 and D_s^{*+} gamma decays of the D_{s0}^+(2317) are studied by assigning it to various charmed strange scalar mesons. As a result, it is found that its assignment to an iso-triplet four-quark meson is favored by the severest…
We calculate the S-wave decay widths and energy shifts for pi pi and pi K atoms in the framework of QCD+QED. The evaluation - valid at next-to-leading order in isospin symmetry breaking - is performed within a non-relativistic effective…
We discuss the determination of the CKM angle $\alpha$ using the non-leptonic two-body decays $B\to \pi\pi$, $B\to \rho\rho$ and $B\to \rho\pi$ using the latest data available. We illustrate the methods used in each case and extract the…
We investigate the semileptonic decays of B and D mesons into $\pi$ and $\rho$ mesons, respectively, by means of QCD sum rules. We find that for the vector formfactors involved the pole dominance hypothesis is valid to good accuracy with…
