The strong g-coupling characterizes the interaction of heavy mesons with pions in typical vertices $H^*H\pi$, $H^*H^*\pi$, where $(H^*;H)$ stands for vector and pseudoscalar $(B^*;B)$ or $(D^*;D)$ heavy mesons. Its estimation by different…

We present results for the branching fractions and charge asymmetries in $B^{\pm} \to h^{\pm} \pi^{0}$ (where $h^{\pm} = \pi^{\pm}, K^{\pm}$) and a search for the decay $B^{0} \to \pi^{0} \pi^{0}$ using a sample of approximately 88 million…

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…

Decays based on the $b\to s\gamma$ transition are expected to yield left-handed photons in the Standard Model, but could be particularly sensitive to New Physics contributions modifying the short-distance Wilson coefficients $\mathcal{C}_7$…

We show that current analyses of experimental data indicate that the strong decay mode pi_2 -> b_1 pi is anomalously small. Non-relativistic quark models with spin-1 quark pair creation, such as ^3P_0, ^3S_1 and ^3D_1 models, as well as…

Coherent photoproduction of $\pi^0$-mesons from threshold ($E_{th} \approx$ 136 MeV) throughout the $\Delta$-resonance region and of $\eta$-mesons close to the production threshold ($E_{th} \approx$ 570 MeV for $\eta$) has been measured for…
