We construct an effective Lagrangian which describes interactions of heavy and light hadrons utilizing the chiral flavor symmetry for light quarks and heavy quark symmetry. For both light and heavy sector we include pseudo scalars, vectors…
We review the B meson lifetime problems and nonspectator effects. The predictions of B meson lifetime ratios depend on four unknown hadronic parameters $B_1$, $B_2$, $\epsilon_1$ and $\epsilon_2$, where $B_1$ and $B_2$ parametrize the…
Quantum entanglement has now been demonstrated in several hadronic systems, revealing that non-classical spin correlations survive even through the strong-interaction hadronization process. To date, however, all studies have focused…
I consider a model based on a quark--meson interaction Lagrangian. The transition amplitudes are evaluated by computing diagrams in which heavy and light mesons are attached to quark loops. The light chiral symmetry relations and the heavy…
Quark and pole models of nonleptonic decays of charmed baryons are analysed from the point of view of their symmetry properties. The symmetry structure of the parity conserving amplitudes that corresponds to the contribution of the…
The status of the heavy quark expansion for inclusive B decays is briefly reviewed from the perspective of confronting theory with data and of extracting the heavy quark parameters. A good agreement between properly applied theory and new…
Charmed scalar mesons are studied. By assigning the newly observed charmed strange meson with a narrow width to one of the iso-triplet four-quark mesons, decays of the multiplet members are investigated and, as the consequence, existence of…

We study time correlation functions of operators representing heavy-light K-Lambda like systems at various relative distances r. The heavy quarks, one in each hadron, are treated as static. An anisotropic and asymmetric lattice is used with…
There now exist several theoretical technologies for treating weak decays of heavy flavour hadrons that are genuinely based on QCD without having to invoke a deus ex machina. I focus on one of those, which employs an expansion in inverse…
Heavy quark spin symmetry is discussed in the context of single and doubly heavy baryons. A special attention is paid to the constraints/simplifications that this symmetry imposes on the non-relativistic constituent quark model wave…
We complete the calculation of the contributions from the dimension six operators in the heavy quark expansion for the total lifetime of heavy hadrons. We give the expressions for the Wilson coefficients of the Darwin term $\rho_D$ and the…
We evaluate masses of bottom and charmed baryons using several non-relativistic quark potentials which parameters have been adjusted to the meson spectra. Heavy Quark Symmetry leads to important simplifications of the three body problem,…
Based on the Y-Q and I-U symmetries between mass and lifetime on the general SU(3) theory, we can derive the lifetime formulas of hyperons and mesons, which agree better with experiments. It is a new method on lifetime of hadrons described…
Our community has to apply {\em non}-perturbative QCD on different levels of flavor dynamics in strange, charm \& beauty hadrons and even for top quarks. We need {\em consistent} parameterization of the CKM matrix and describe weak decays…
Heavy meson pairs produced in the decays of heavy quarkonium resonances at e+ e- machines (beauty and tau-charm factories) have the useful property that the two mesons are in the CP-correlated states. By tagging one of the mesons as a CP…
Heavy flavor supplies a chance to constrain and improve the hadronization mechanism. We have established a sequential coalescence model with charm conservation and applied it to the charmed hadron production in heavy ion collisions. The…
In earlier publications we have analyzed the strong and radiative decays of heavy hadrons in a formalism which incorporates both heavy-quark and chiral symmetries. In particular, we have derived a heavy-hadron chiral Lagrangian whose…
Imbalanced beauty-charmed baryons $ \Xi_{bc}^{+,0} $ are of great significance to the development of heavy flavor physics. In this work, we study the inclusive weak-annihilation decays of $\Xi_{bc}^{+,0}$ and their contributions to the…
The leading particle effect in charm hadroproduction is an enhancement of the cross section for a charmed hadron D in the forward direction of the beam when the beam hadron has a valence parton in common with the D. The large D+/D-…
