While the light scalar mesons ($S_0$) are considered to be either ordinary $q\bar q$ or exotic tetraquark states, we investigate the semileptonic decays $D\to S_0 e^+\nu_e$, by taking into account the resonant effects of $S_0\to M_1 M_2$,…
We investigate the phenomenological implications of a light scalar bottom quark, with a mass of about the bottom quark mass, within the minimal supersymmetric standard model. The study of such a scenario is of theoretical interest, since,…
We extend the analysis of weak decays of heavy hadrons to the case of doubly charmed baryons, \Xi_{cc}^{++}, \Xi_{cc}^{+} and \Omega_{cc}^{+}. Doubly charmed baryons are modeled as a heavy-light system containing a heavy cc-diquark and a…
In this talk, we report the recent measurements of (semi)leptonic decays of charm mesons from the BESIII experiment, including $D^+\to\mu^+\nu_\mu$, $D^+\to\tau^+\nu_\tau$, $D^+\to\eta^\prime\ell^+\nu_\ell$, and $D^{0(+)}\to\bar…
Charm and bottom baryons and mesons are studied within the framework of a relativistically covariant 3D reduction of the Bethe-Salpeter equation. We carry out an analysis of semileptonic decays of heavy hadrons within this framework using…
We present intermediate results on our ongoing investigation concerning semileptonic decays of heavy pseudoscalar mesons into pseudoscalar and vector mesons. The corresponding formfactors are evaluated at several momenta and appropriate…
We investigate the semileptonic decays of B and D mesons into $\pi$ and $\rho$ mesons, respectively, by means of QCD sum rules. We find that for the vector formfactors involved the pole dominance hypothesis is valid to good accuracy with…
Widths for the new flavor changing top quark decay t-->c+sneutrino or for the reversed sneutrino decay sneutrino-->t+c(bar) are calculated in the MSSM without R-parity conservation. For large \tan\beta, e.g., \tan\beta ~ m_t/m_b ~ 40,…
I report results in semileptonic decays of B mesons from the CLEO collaboration, with a focus on recent results. Results for exclusive reconstruction of B -> D* l nu, B -> D l nu and B -> rho l nu are given including the q^2 dependence of…
We review the current status of experimental measurements of the branching fractions for exclusive semileptonic decays of B mesons to charmless hadrons and the determination of the Standard Model CKM parameter |Vub| from these measurements.
We have performed a search for the scalar bottom quark from gluino decays in an R-parity conserving SUSY scenario with m(gluino) > m(sbottom), by investigating a final state of large missing transverse energy, with three or more jets, and…
Lepton flavor violating Higgs boson decays (LFVHD) are studied in the context of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) enlarged with three right handed neutrinos and their supersymmetric partners, and with the neutrino masses…
We search for signals of Weak Annihilation in inclusive semileptonic D decays. We consider both the widths and the lepton energy moments, which are quite sensitive probes. Our analysis of Cleo data shows no clear evidence of Weak…
Semileptonic and nonleptonic decays of the B_c meson are studied in the framework of the relativistic quark model. The heavy quark expansion in inverse powers of the heavy (b,c) quark mass is used to simplify calculations while the light…
We consider B3 mSUGRA models where we have one lepton number violating LQD operator at the GUT scale. This can alter the supersymmetric mass spectrum leading to a sneutrino as the lightest supersymmetric particle in a large region of…

We analyze the lepton sector of a Left-Right Model based on the gauge group SU(2)_L x SU(2)_R x U(1), concentrating mainly on neutrino properties. Using the seesaw mechanism and a horizontal symmetry, we keep the right-handed symmetry…
Exclusive semileptonic B decays to the lightest excited charmed mesons are investigated at order $\Lambda_{QCD}/m_Q$ in the heavy quark effective theory. At zero recoil, $\Lambda_{QCD}/m_Q$ corrections to the matrix elements of the weak…
We present a search for the lightest supersymmetric partner of the top quark in proton-antiproton collisions at a center-of-mass energy sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV. This search was conducted within the framework of the R-parity conserving minimal…
At least one neutrino has a mass of about 50 meV or larger. However, the absolute mass scale for the neutrino remains unknown. Studies of double beta decay offer hope for determining the absolute mass scale. Furthermore, the critical…
