We present a calculation of the SU(3)-breaking corrections to the hyperon transition vector form factors to $\mathcal{O}(p^4)$ in heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory with finite-range regularisation. Both octet and decuplet degrees of…
We benefit from the lattice QCD determination by the HPQCD of the Standard Model (SM) form factors for the $\bar B_s\to D_s$ [Phys. Rev. D 101, 074513 (2020)] and the SM and tensor ones for the $\bar B_s\to D_s^{*}$ (arXiv:2304.03137…
Decays $B\to DP\ell^+\nu_\ell~(\ell=e,\mu,\tau)$ with the non-resonance, the charmed vector resonances, the charmed scalar resonances and the charmed tensor resonances are calculated by using the SU(3) flavor symmetry. Firstly, the decay…
We calculate the $B\to D^{(*)}$ form factors in the heavy-quark and large-recoil limits in the perturbative QCD framework based on $k_T$ factorization theorem, assuming the hierachy $M_B\gg M_{D^{(*)}}\gg \bar\Lambda$, with the $B$ meson…
We perform a comprehensive SU(3)-flavor analysis of charmed mesons decaying to two pseudoscalar SU(3)-octet mesons. Taking into account SU(3)-breaking effects induced by the splitting of the quark masses, m_s != m_{u,d}, we find that…

We present flavor SU(3) sum rules for $D \to PP$ and $D \to PV$ decay amplitudes, that are valid to second order in symmetry breaking by the strange quark mass spurion. Decay rate sum rules are also computed to this order. Particular…
We calculate form-factor ratios between the semileptonic decays \bar{B}->D^+\ell^-\bar{\nu} and \bar{B}_s->D_s^+\ell^-\bar{\nu} with lattice QCD. These ratios are a key theoretical input in a new strategy to determine the fragmentation…
Making use of the measurement of the $B\to K^*\gamma$ branching ratio together with the relations following from the limit of high recoil energy, we obtain stringent constraints on the values of the form-factors entering in heavy-to-light…
The form factors of the semileptonic $B_{q}\to D_{q}(J^{P}=0^{-})\ell\nu$ with $q=s, u, d$ transitions are calculated in the framework of three point QCD sum rules. Using the $q^2$ dependencies of the relevant form factors, the total decay…
We perform a new numerical analysis of hyperon semileptonic decays emphasizing the systematic uncertainties. The poor understanding of SU(3) symmetry breaking effects at second order in the vector form factor translates into a large error…
We investigate the quark structure of D and B mesons in the framework of a constituent quark model. To this end, we assume a scalar confining and a one gluon exchange (OGE) potential. The parameters of the model are adopted to reproduce the…
We show that the factorization assumption in color-suppressed $B$ meson decays is not ruled out by experimental data on $B \ra K(K^*) + J/\Psi(\Psi^{'})$. The problem previously pointed out might be due to an inadequate choice of hadronic…

Nonleptonic decays B to D pi- or B to D* pi- are dominated by factorizable contributions. In the heavy quark limit, nonfactorizable contribution arises from strong radiative correction and power corrections in 1/m_b. I calculate the decay…
