The weak hadronic decay D^+ -> K^0\bar a_1^+ is kinematically forbidden at the peak mass values of the particles involved. However, occurrence of this decay has been reported with branching fraction (9.1 \plusminus 1.8) \cross 10^{-3} in…

Form factors of $D$ decays into $J^{PC}=2^{++}$ tensor mesons are calculated in the light-cone sum rules approach up to twist-4 distribution amplitudes of the tensor meson. The masses of the tensor mesons are comparable to that of the charm…
Within the framework of covariant confined quark model, we compute the transition form factors of $D$ and $D_s$ mesons decaying to light scalar mesons $f_0(980)$ and $a_0(980)$. The transition form factors are then utilized to compute the…
Under two different scenarios for the light scalar mesons, we investigate the transition form factors of $B(B_s)$ mesons decay into a scalar meson in the perturbative QCD approach. In the large recoiling region, the form factors are…

We study theoretically the resonant structure of the double Cabibbo suppressed $D^+\to K^- K^+K^+$ decay. We start from an elementary production diagram, considered subleading in previous approaches, which cannot produce a final $K^- K^+$…
