We present the first evidence for B semileptonic decays into the charmed baryon Lambda_c+ based on 420 fb-1 of data collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II e+e- storage rings. Events are tagged by fully…

Ratios of isospin amplitudes in hadron decays are a useful probe of the interplay between weak and strong interactions, and allow searches for physics beyond the Standard Model. We present the first results on isospin amplitudes in…

We present preliminary results of a study of the two-body B-meson decays to a charmonium state (ccbar) and a K+ or K*0(892) meson using a sample of about 349 fb-1 of data collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B…

We investigate production and decay of the $\Lambda_c^+ $ hyperon. The production considered is through the $e^+e^-$ annihilation channel, $e^+e^-\rightarrow\Lambda_c^+ \bar{\Lambda}_c^-$, with summation over the $\bar{\Lambda}_c^- $…

Electromagnetic effects in the leptonic decay rates $\pi^+ \to \mu^+ \nu$ and $K^+ \to \mu^+ \nu$ are evaluated for the first time on the lattice. Following a method recently proposed in Ref. [1] the emission of virtual photons at leading…

Using $e^+e^-$ collision data collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider at thirty-two center-of-mass energies from 3.50 to 4.95 GeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 25 $\rm{fb^{-1}}$, we measure the Born cross…

Apart from the charmful decay channels of $Y(4260)$, the charmless decay channels of $Y(4260)$ also provide us a good platform to study the nature and the decay mechanism of $Y(4260)$. In this paper, we propose to probe the structure of…

We show that isospin/SU(3) breaking terms can be introduced to the anomalous VVP coupling in the hidden local symmetry scheme without changing Wess-Zumino-Witten term in the low-energy limit. We make the analysis for anomalous processes of…

Using data from the FOCUS experiment (FNAL-E831), we study the decay of $\Lambda^+_c$ baryons into final states containing a $\Lambda$ hyperon. The branching fractions of $\Lambda^+_c$ into $\Lambda \pi^+$, $\Lambda \pi^+ \pi^+ \pi^-$ and…

\textbf{Background}: Superallowed $0^+ \rightarrow 0^+$ $\beta$ decays of isospin $T=2$ nuclides can be used to test theoretical isospin symmetry breaking corrections applied to extract the CKM matrix element $V_{ud}$ from $T = 0,1$ decays…

e+e- experiments at charmonium production threshold are reviewed, it is found that the contribution of the continuum process via virtual photon has been neglected in almost all the experiments and most channels analyzed. It is pointed out…

Spin transfer from circularly polarized real photons to recoiling hyperons has been measured for the reactions $\vec\gamma + p \to K^+ + \vec\Lambda$ and $\vec\gamma + p \to K^+ + \vec\Sigma^0$. The data were obtained using the CLAS…

We consider isospin predictions for the semi-leptonic and non-leptonic decays of the $\Lambda_b$ baryon. Isospin conservation of the strong interactions constrains the possible final states in $\Lambda_b$ decays. Since the baryon hyperfine…

There is a long-standing anomaly in the ratio of the decay width for $\psi(3770)\to D^0\overline{D^0}$ to that for $\psi(3770)\to D^+D^-$ at the level of $9.5\,\sigma$. A similar anomaly exists for the ratio of $\phi(1020)\to…
