In this article, we study the decays $\psi^{\prime}\to {J/\psi}\pi^+\pi^-$ and $\eta_c^{\prime}\to {\eta_c}\pi^+\pi^-$ by taking into account the chiral symmetry breaking effects, the final-state interactions and the heavy quark symmetry.…
The e-e+ collider LEP, running at sqrt{s} = m(Z0), has been a copious source of b-hadrons produced in decays Z0 -> b \b. We present recent studies using up to 4*10^6 hadronic Z0 decays acquired by the DELPHI detector between 1992 and 2000.…
The forward-backward asymmetry of $b$-quarks measured at LEP in $e^+e^-$ collisions at the Z pole, $A_{FB}^{0,b}|^{\rm exp} = 0.0992\pm0.0016$, remains today the electroweak precision observable with the largest disagreement (2.8$\sigma$)…
