The semileptonic decays $\bar{B}\to D(D^*)\pi\ell\bar{\nu}$ are analyzed by heavy quark and chiral symmetries. The branching ratio is of order of a few percent for $\dpi$, but it is much smaller for $\dstar$, of order $10^{-4}-10^{-5}$. The…
We investigate two-pion emission decays of singly charmed and bottom baryons, focusing on $\Lambda_Q^*(1P)$ and $\Xi_Q^*(1P)$ with $Q=c$ (charm) or $b$ (bottom) quarks and $J^P=1/2^-,3/2^-$, belonging to antisymmetric flavor triplet…
Strong two- and three-body decays of the new excited hyperon $\Omega^*(2012)$ are discussed in the hadronic molecular approach. The $\Omega^*(2012)$ state is considered to contain the mixed $\Xi \bar K$ and $\Omega \eta$ hadronic…
Using data samples of 988.4 fb$^{-1}$ and 427.9 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the Belle and Belle II detectors, we present a study of the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decays $\Xi_c^{0} \to \Lambda \eta$, $\Lambda \eta'$, and $\Lambda \pi^0$. We…

We study two-body weak hadronic decays of \psi and Upsilon employing the factorization scheme. Branching ratios for \psi -> PP/PV and \Upsilon -> PP/PV decays in the Cabibbo-angle-enhanced and Cabibbo-angle-suppressed modes are predicted.
A general parametrization of the amplitudes for the rare two-body decays B -> pi K is introduced, which makes maximal use of theoretical constraints arising from flavour symmetries of the strong interactions and the structure of the…
The hadronic two-body weak decays of the doubly charmed baryons $\Xi_{cc}^{++}, \Xi_{cc}^+$ and $\Omega_{cc}^+$ are studied in this work. To estimate the nonfactorizable contributions, we work in the pole model for the $P$-wave amplitudes…
We develop a model to study the $D^0 \to K^- \pi^+ \eta$ weak decay, starting with the color favored external emission and Cabibbo favored mode at the quark level. A less favored internal emission decay mode is also studied as a source of…
In our previous works, we have analyzed the two-body strong decays of the low-lying $\Omega$ baryon states within a chiral quark model. The results show that the $\Omega(2012)$ resonance favors the three-quark state with $J^P=3/2^-$…
This work is devoted to investigating the $1/2\to3/2$ weak decays of singly heavy baryons. Due to the orthogonality between the spin wavefunctions of antitriplet baryons and spin-3/2 baryons, the weak decay amplitude for such processes…
One can analyze the hadronic decay amplitudes for $B\to PP$ decays using flavor SU(3) symmetry in different ways, such as the algebraic and quark diagram approaches. We derive specific relations between these two sets of amplitudes. In the…
The rare decays of mesons are higher order effects in weak interactions. The main contributions to such decay processes are from the Z-penguin, the photonpenguin and the box diagram. At the quark level, these contributions are well known.…
We study the mechanism of the weak decay process of Xi_b^0 into D^0 with a meson-baryon pair. It is shown that the dominant component of the prompt weak decay produces the meson-baryon pair with the spectator strange quark being transferred…
We present a mechanism for $\Omega_c \to \pi^+ \Omega(2012)$ production through an external emission Cabibbo favored weak decay mode, where the $\Omega(2012)$ is dynamically generated from the interaction of $\bar{K}\Xi^*(1530)$,…
The weak decays Xi_b -> Lambda_b pi and Xi_c -> Lambda_c pi, in which the heavy quark is not destroyed, are discussed. The branching fractions for these decays, corresponding to an absolute rate of order 0.01 ps^{-1}, should be at a one…
In the chiral unitary approach, we have studied the single Cabibbo-suppressed decays $\Lambda_c\to pK^+K^-$ and $\Lambda_c \to p \pi^+\pi^-$ by taking into account the $s$-wave meson-meson interaction as well as the contributions from the…
Production of even-parity charmed mesons in hadronic B decays is studied. Specifically, we focus on the Cabibbo-allowed decays $\bar B\to D^{**}\pi$ and $\bar D^{**}_sD^{(*)}$, where $D^{**}$ denotes generically a p-wave charmed meson.…
