We extend our relativistic quark model to the study of the decay Lambda_b -> Lambda_c ell nu and verify that the model satisfies the heavy-quark symmetry constraints at order 1/mQ^2. We isolate a strong dependence on a parameter which…
Motivated by the potential prospects of the $B_{c}^{\ast}$ meson samples at hadron colliders, the bottom-changing $B_{c}^{\ast}$ ${\to}$ ${\psi}(1S,2S)P$, ${\eta}_{c}(1S,2S)P$ weak decays are first studied with the perturbative QCD…

We study lifetimes and weak decays of the triply heavy tetraquarks ${b\bar c}{b\bar q}$. Following the heavy quark expanding(HQE), the lifetimes of tetraquarks ${b\bar c}{b\bar q}$ can be expressed as the summation of different dimension…
We measured two moments of the lepton momentum spectrum in B -> X l nu, where l= e or mu, for p_l > 1.5 GeV/c. From these we derive the Heavy Quark Expansion (HQE) parameters Lambda-bar(MS-bar) = 0.39 +- 0.03(stat) +- 0.06(sys) +- 0.12(th)…
Quasi two-body decays B^0(t)-> a_1^{+-}(1260) pi^{-+} identified by four charged pions determine a phase alpha_eff, which is equal to the weak phase alpha in the limit of vanishing penguin amplitudes. Applying flavor SU(3) to these decays…
