In the framework of the factorization and the heavy quark effective theory, $B\to D_2^*\pi$ modes are analyzed. We adopt the result from the QCD sum rule calculation for the hadronic matrix elements at leading order of $\Lambda_{\rm…
We perform an isospin analysis of $B$ decays to two pseudoscalars. The analysis extracts appropriate CKM and short distance loop factors to allow for comparison of non-perturbative QCD effects in the reduced matrix elements of the…
We present a sum-rule extraction of the decay constants of the D, Ds, B, and Bs mesons from the two-point correlator of heavy-light pseudoscalar currents [1]. Our main emphasis is laid on the control over the uncertainties in the decay…
Based upon flavor SU(3) symmetry, we perform global fits to charmless B decays into one pseudoscalar meson and one vector meson in the final states. We consider different symmetry breaking schemes and find that the one implied by na{\"i}ve…
We calculate the leptonic decay constants of heavy-light pseudoscalar mesons with charm and bottom quarks in lattice quantum chromodynamics on four-flavor QCD gauge-field configurations with dynamical $u$, $d$, $s$, and $c$ quarks. We…
The detection of radially excited heavy meson \\states in recent years and measurement of heavy meson decays, particularly $B_c^+\to J/\psi D_s^+$ and $B_c^+\to J/\psi D_s^{*+}$, by the LHCb and ATLAS Collaborations, have aroused a lot of…
We discuss the magnetic moments of the baryons allowing for flavor symmetry breaking in the quark magnetic moments. We show that there is a correlation between isospin symmetry breaking and data for the nucleon spin structure obtained from…
Using special linear combinations of finite energy sum rules which minimize the contribution of the unknown continuum spectral function, we compute the decay constants of the pseudoscalar mesons B and B_s. In the computation, we employ the…
We present a general analysis on charmless B-meson decays $B\to \pi\pi$ and $\pi K$. It is noticed that the final state interactions and inelastic rescattering effects must be significant in order to understand the consistency of the…
We present results for different observables measured in semileptonic and non-leptonic decays of the $B_c^-$ meson. The calculations have been done within the framework of a nonrelativistic constituent quark model. In order to check the…
Isospin is an almost exact symmetry of strong interactions and the corrections to the isosymmetric limit are, in general, at the percent level. For several hadronic quantities relevant for flavour physics phenomenology, such as pseudoscalar…
We show that within the Standard Model any system of hadronic weak charm decays related by $U$-spin satisfies the following rate sum rule: (sum of CF and DCS CKM-free rates) divided by (sum of SCS CKM-free rates) = 1, which holds up to…
We employ the relativistic constituent quark model to give a unified description of the leptonic and semileptonic decays of pseudoscalar mesons (\pi, K, D, D_s, B, B_s). The calculated leptonic decay constants and form factors are found to…
The use of weak decays to determine proton spin structure is examined in view of possible violations of the Bjorken and Gottfried Sum rules, flavor symmetry breaking and flavor asymmetry in the sea. The use of the neutron decay is found to…
We perform a detailed study of the consequences of isospin symmetry in the Cabibbo favoured $D\to\Kbar\pi\pi$ decays. These processes are important for precision testing of the Standard Model and for hadronic physics. Combining isospin…
This paper is the extension of our previous work entitled Searching a systematics for nonfactorizable contributions to and hadronic decays. Obtaining the factorizable contributions from the spectator quark model for a systematics has been…
A new method to extract $|V_{\rm bc}|$ is proposed based on a sum--rule for semileptonic decays of the $B$ meson. The method relies on much weaker assumptions than previous approaches which are based on heavy--quark symmetry. This sum--rule…
Isospin and flavor SU(3) set stringent bounds on penguin pollution in $B^0(t)\to \rho^+\rho^-$, providing a theoretically precise determination of $\alpha\equiv \phi_2 $, $\alpha = (91\pm 7_{\rm exp}\pm 3_{\rm th})^\circ$. Isospin breaking…

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…
