In this talk, we present the recent results on charmonium decays from the BES experiment at the BEPC collider. The analyses are based on a 14 million psi(2S) events data sample. We report results on leptonic decays, hadronic decays, and…
This paper reviews semileptonic decays of $B$-mesons to states containing charm mesons, i.e., D, D*, D** and possible non-resonant D^{(*)}npi states as well. The paper covers measurement of branching fractions, form-factors and, most…
We reconsider the conflict between recent calculations of the semileptonic branching ratio of the $B$ meson and the experimentally measured rate. Such calculations depend crucially on the application of ``local duality'' in nonleptonic…
We present a short review of our most recent high statistics lattice determinations in the HQET of the following important parameters in B physics: the B--meson binding energy, $\overline{\Lambda}$ and the kinetic energy of the b quark in…
The phenomenon of $B^0_q$-$\bar{B}^0_q$ mixing ($q=d,s$) provides a sensitive probe for physics beyond the Standard Model. We have a careful look at the determination of the Unitarity Triangle apex, which is needed for the Standard Model…
The LHCb collaboration has very recently released a new study of $B^+ \to K^{+} \ell^+ \ell^-$ and $B \to K^{*0} \ell^+ \ell^-$ ($\ell = e,\mu$) decays, testing lepton universality with unprecedented accuracy using the whole Run 1 and 2…
Recently, several hints of lepton non-universality have been observed in the semileptonic B meson decays in terms of both in the neutral current ($b\to s l \bar{l}$) and charged current ($b\to c l \bar{\nu_{l}}$) transitions. Motivated by…
Inspired by a series of unexpected measurements of semileptonic decays mediated via $b\rightarrow c $ charged current interactions, we explore semileptonic $B_c$ decays to the four lightest $P$-wave charmonium states, $\chi_{c0}, \chi_{c1},…
B-meson decays are very useful probes for testing the Standard Model and its various extensions. Leptonic decays of B have very clean signatures in this respect and hence can be very useful testing grounds. In this work we study the effects…
We present the most recent results from the BESIII experiment. This review covers the studies of charmonium decays, light hadron spectroscopy and charm physics. Especially, the prospects for weak decays of charm mesons are addressed at the…
Heavy quark decays provide a very advantageous investigation to test the Standard Model (SM). Recently, promising experiments with \textit{b} quark, as well as the analysis of the huge data sets produced at the B factories, have led to an…
We review recent progress in exclusive B --> D^(*) and inclusive B --> X(u) semileptonic B decays
B physics results from e+ e- annihilation at the Z0 resonance are reviewed. A vast program is summarised, including the study of B+, B0d, B0s and b baryon lifetimes, the time dependence of B0d and B0s oscillations, the width difference in…
Combined results on b-hadron lifetimes, b-hadron production rates, B^0_d - \bar{B^0_d} and B^0_s -\bar{B^0_s} oscillations, the decay width difference between the mass eigenstates of the B^0_s -\bar{B^0_s} system, and the values of the CKM…
We apply HQET to semi-leptonic $B$ meson decays into a variety of excited charm states. Using three realistic meson models with fermionic light degrees of freedom, we examine the extent that the sum of exclusive single charmed states…
The Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB energy-asymmetric $e^+ e^-$ collider is a substantial upgrade of the B factory facility, Belle, at the Japanese KEK laboratory. The main operation of SuperKEKB has started in March 2019, and…
We review recent measurements as well as phenomenological background of the semileptonic branching fraction of $b$ hadrons and number of charm produced per decay of $b$ hadrons.
We review the current status and implications of the anomalies (i.e. deviations from the Standard Model predictions) in semi-leptonic $B$ meson decays, both in the charged and in the neutral current. In $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ transitions…
This talk consists of two parts. We first present a light-cone QCD sum rule computation of the $B_s\to f_0(980)$ form factors which are necessary inputs in semileptonic and nonleptonic $B_s$ decays into $f_0(980)$. Then we analyze…
The review on experimental results on charmonium and charmonium-like spectroscopy from B-factories is presented. Main theoretical interpretations, such as conventional charmonium, molecular state, hybrids, tetraquarks and others are…
