Theoretical predictions for B decay rates are rewritten in terms of the Upsilon(1S) meson mass instead of the b quark mass, using a modified perturbation expansion. The theoretical consistency of this expansion is shown both at low and high…

We study the semileptonic decay of its SU(3) partner, the $\Lambda_c \to \Lambda \ell^+ \nu_\ell$ ($\ell = e, \mu$) transition, within the framework of light-cone QCD sum rules (LCSR) by using the distribution amplitudes of heavy…

In this paper we extend the well known QCD sum rules used in the calculation of the mass of heavy mesons to estimate the modification of the charged B meson mass, m_B, in the presence of an external Abelian magnetic field, eB. Two…

We calculate the mass difference between the $\Upsilon$ and $\eta_b$ and the $\Upsilon$ leptonic width from lattice QCD using the Highly Improved Staggered Quark formalism for the $b$ quark and including $u$, $d$, $s$ and $c$ quarks in the…

We make a systematic investigation on the two-body nonleptonic decays $B_c\rightarrow J/\Psi(\eta_c),M$ by employing the perturbative QCD approach based on $k_T$ factorization, where $M$ is a light pseudoscalar or vector or a heavy charmed…

We calculate BSM hadronic matrix elements for $K^0-\bar K^0$ mixing in the Dual QCD approach (DQCD). The ETM, SWME and RBC-UKQCD lattice collaborations find the matrix elements of the BSM density-density operators $\mathcal{O}_i$ with…

In this work, we construct the color-singlet-color-singlet type currents to study the masses and pole residues of charm-strange tetraquark states and their bottom analogs with $J^P$ = $0^+$ and $1^+$ by using two-point QCD sum rules, where…

We perform a detailed study of the $\Upsilon$-, $\eta_b$-, and $B_c$-nucleus systems in momentum space to calculate the bound-state energies and the corresponding coordinate-space radial wave functions. The attractive strong potentials for…

We use QCD sum rules to calculate the hadronic matrix elements governing the rare decays $B \to K \ell^+ \ell^-$ and $B \to K^* \ell^+ \ell^-$ induced by the flavour changing neutral current $b \to s$ transition. We also study relations…

We study the non-leptonic two-body weak decays of $\Lambda_c^+(2286)\to {\bf B}_n M$ with ${\bf B}_n$ ($M$) representing as the baryon (meson) states. Based on the $SU(3)$ flavor symmetry, we can describe most of the data reexamined by the…

In this work, I suggest a new way for determining the CKM angle $\gamma$ via B decays into a scalar/tensor meson without any hadronic uncertainty. The proposed idea makes profits of the two triangles formed by the $B^\pm\to (D^0,\bar…

The mass relation ${M_{0^{+}}+3M_{1^{+\prime}}+5M_{2^{+}}= 9M_{1^{+}}}$ miraculously holds for the $P$-wave charmonium $(c\bar{c})$ and bottomonium $(b\bar{b})$ systems with soaring precision. The origin of such relation can be addressed…

We extend the picture of $B$-meson decay constants obtained in lattice QCD beyond those of the $B$, $B_s$ and $B_c$ to give the first full lattice QCD results for the $B^*$, $B^*_s$ and $B^*_c$. We use improved NonRelativistic QCD for the…

First observations of the decays $\Lambda_b^0 \to \Lambda_c^+ D_{(s)}^-$ are reported using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3\,{\rm fb}^{-1}$ collected at 7 and 8 TeV center-of-mass energy in proton-proton collisions with…

We study two-body $B$-meson decays to a charmonium state ($\eta_c$, $\eta_c(2S)$ or $h_c$) and a $K^+$ or $K^{*0}(892)$ meson using a sample of $349 fb^{-1}$ of data collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy $B$…

We analyze the radiative leptonic $B_c$ decay mode: $B_c \to \ell \nu \gamma$ ($\ell=e, \mu$) using a QCD-inspired constituent quark model. The prediction: ${\cal B}(B_c \to \ell \nu \gamma)\simeq 3 \times 10^{-5}$ makes this channel…

We demonstrate that Borel QCD sum rules for heavy-light currents entail a very strong correlation between the $b$-quark mass $m_b$ and the $B$-meson decay constant $f_B,$ that is, $\delta f_B/f_B\approx-8\delta m_b/m_b.$ By starting from…

We derive the $k_T$ resummation for doubly heavy-flavored $B_c$ meson decays by including the charm quark mass effect into the known formula for a heavy-light system. The resultant Sudakov factor is employed in the perutrbative QCD study of…
