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 analyze the CP asymmetries of $B\to \phi K$ and $B\to \eta^{(\prime)} K$ modes in the QCD improved factorization framework. For our calculation we use the phenomenological parameters predetermined from the global fit for the available…

Decays $B\to DP\ell^+\nu_\ell~(\ell=e,\mu,\tau)$ with the non-resonance, the charmed vector resonances, the charmed scalar resonances and the charmed tensor resonances are calculated by using the SU(3) flavor symmetry. Firstly, the decay…

In 1998, it was shown that, if flavor SU(3) symmetry [SU(3)$_F$] is assumed in charmless $B \to PP$ decays ($P$ is a light pseudoscalar meson), some reduced matrix elements involving electroweak penguin (EWP) operators are related to those…

Assuming the ${\bar D}^0, D^-, D^-_s$ and $B^+, B^0, B_s^0$ mesons belong to triplets of SU(3) flavor symmetry, we analyse the form factors in the semileptonic decays of these mesons. Both quark and meson mass differences are taken into…

The flavor-changing neutral current semileptonic decays of $B$ mesons provide an excellent platform for indirectly probing New Physics (NP) beyond the Standard Model (SM). Recent measurements of lepton flavor universality (LFU) ratios such…

Simple experimental tests are proposed which can clarify the origin for the anomalously high $\eta'$ appearance in charmless strange final states in $B$ decays and can investigate the the nature of SU(3) symmetry-breaking in weak heavy…

While the LHC did not observe direct evidence for physics beyond the standard model, indirect hints for new physics were uncovered in the flavour sector in the decays $B\to K^*\mu^+\mu^-$, $B\to K\mu^+\mu^-/B\to Ke^+e^-$,…

The nonleptonic two body decays $D\to PP$ and $D\to PV$ are investigated based on the diagrammatic decomposition in a generalized factorization formalism. It is shown that to fit the experimental data, the SU(3) flavor symmetry breaking…

Motivated by recent anomalies in FCNC $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$, we study $B_1\to B_2\ell^+\ell^-(\ell=e,\mu,\tau)$ semi-leptonic weak decays with the SU(3) flavor symmetry, where $B_{1,2}$ are the spin-1/2 baryons of single bottomed…

I present a consistent way to include $\eta$-$\eta^\prime$ mixing in global analyses of two-body decays of heavy hadrons employing the approximate flavour-SU(3) symmetry of QCD. The framework is applied to $D\to P \eta^\prime$ decays, where…

We show that $D\rightarrow P\eta^\prime$ decay amplitudes, where $P=K,\pi,\eta$, cannot be simply related to their $D\rightarrow P\eta$ counterparts with a single $\eta_0$--$\eta_8$ mixing angle. We propose a novel, consistent treatment of…

We study the various existing implementations of SU(3) breaking in the Hidden Local Symmetry model for the low energy hadronic sector following a mechanism originally proposed by Bando, Kugo and Yamawaki (BKY). We pay particular attention…

We examine the three-body baryonic $\bar B\to {\bf B\bar B'}V$ decays with $V$ vector mesons in the standard model. We can simultaneously explain the recent experimental data on the decays of $B^-\to \Lambda\bar p \,\rho^0$ and $\bar B\to…

We propose a new model for describing baryon semi-leptonic decays for estimating $F$ and $D$ values with explicit breaking effects of both SU(3) and SU(2) flavor symmetry, where all possible SU(3) and SU(2) breaking effects are induced from…

There are many charmless B decay pairs whose amplitudes are related by U spin (d <--> s) or flavor SU(3). The theoretical uncertainty in any analysis involving such pairs must take into account U-spin/SU(3) breaking. In the past, such…

We explain the 2.3 sigma deviation in the recent measurements of the neutral B mesons decay into muon pairs from the standard model prediction in the framework of supersymmetric grand unified models using anti-symmetric coupling as a new…

Rare decays of B and K mesons and CP violations thereof are considered in SUSY models with S_3^3 flavor symmetry. SUSY contributions to epsilon_K and epsilon'/epsilon_K can be large, but not to B0 - B0 bar mixing because of strong…

When CP asymmetries in $B^0(t)\to \pi^+ \pi^-$ are combined using broken flavor SU(3) with decay rates for $B^+\to K^0\pi^+$ and/or $B^0\to K^+\pi^-$, one can obtain stringent limits on the weak phase $\gamma$ which are consistent with…

We analyze the decay processes of ${\bf B}_c \to {\bf B}_n M$ with the $SU(3)_F$ flavor symmetry and spin-dependent amplitudes, where ${\bf B}_c({\bf B}_n)$ and $M$ are the anti-triplet charmed (octet) baryon and nonet meson states,…
