In the standard model (SM), we re-investigate the rare decay $B\to \phi\pi$, which has been viewed as an ideal probe to detect the new physics signals beyond the SM. Contributions in the naive factorization method, the radiative…

The Lambdac(2940)+ baryon with quantum numbers J(P) = 1/2(+) is considered as a hadronic molecule composed of a nucleon and D* meson. We give predictions for the width of the strong three-body decay processes Lambdac(2940)+ to…

We present our preliminary results concerning the charged/neutral pion mass difference $M_{\pi^{+}} - M_{\pi^{0}}$ at order $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_{em})$ in the QED interactions, and for $M_{\pi^{+}} - M_{\pi^{0}}$ at order $\mathcal{O}\left(…

We review the physics of purely leptonic decays of $\pi^\pm$, $K^\pm$, $D^{\pm}$, $D_s^\pm$, and $B^\pm$ pseudoscalar mesons. The measured decay rates are related to the product of the relevant weak-interaction-based CKM matrix element of…

We evaluate the widths for the strong decays $\Sigma_c\to\Lambda_c \pi$, $\Sigma_c^*\to\Lambda_c \pi$ and $\Xi_c^{*}\to\Xi_c \pi$. The calculations have been done within a nonrelativistic constituent quark model with wave functions that…

We present an analysis of the process $e^+e^-\to V^*\to\pi\pi\gamma$, where $V=\gamma$ or $V=Z$ boson, in the kinematical region where $\sqrt{s}$, the c.m. energy of the $e^+e^-$ pair, is large but much below the $Z$-pole. The subprocess…
