We systematically study two-body nonleptonic decays of light lambda hyperon $\Lambda \to p \pi^- (n\pi^0)$ with account for both short- and long-distance effects. The short-distance effects are induced by five topologies of external and…

The branching ratios for the hadronic B-meson weak decays B -> J/psi K and B -> D pi are used to extract the size of the ``non-factorizable'' terms in the decay amplitudes. It is pointed out that the solutions are not uniquely determined.…

We give the first full next-to-leading order analytical results in Chiral Perturbation Theory for the charged Kaon K \to 3 pi slope g and decay rates CP-violating asymmetries. We have included the dominant Final State Interactions at NLO…

The neutral Kaon decays Ks->gamma gamma and Kl->pi0 gamma gamma are very sensitive to higher order loop effects of Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT). New measurements of the NA48 experiment show that ChPT contributions of O(p^6) cannot be…

Rare weak decays of $\eta^\prime\to K\pi$ have been investigated in the framework of the $U(3)$ chiral perturbation theory at the leading order. Our study shows that the branching ratio ${\cal B}(\eta^\prime\to K\pi)$ is of the order of…

We analyze the semileptonic weak decays of the octet baryons in a "model independent" approach, based on the algebraic structure of the Chiral Quark-Soliton Model. We argue that this analysis is in fact more general than the model itself.…

CP asymmetries for two-body-nonleptonic $B^{0} - \bar{B}^{0}$ decay into non-CP-eigen states are calculated using two different methods: (i) Bauer, Stech, and Wirbel factorization method to compute the decay amplitudes directly; (ii) using…

We investigate $J/\psi$ decays into octet baryon-antibaryons pairs. The decay amplitudes are computed within the collinear QCD factorisation framework. The subleading amplitude, which describes the decay of longitudinally polarised…

The decay rates for $B^0 \to K^+ \pi^-$, $B^+ \to K^0 \pi^+$, and the charge-conjugate processes were found to provide information on the weak phase $\gamma \equiv {\rm Arg}(V_{ub}^*)$ when the ratio $r$ of weak tree and penguin amplitudes…

Cabibbo-allowed two-body hadronic weak decays of bottom baryons are analyzed. Contrary to the charmed baryon sector, many channels of bottom baryon decays proceed only through the external or internal W-emission diagrams. Moreover,…

We estimate the non-leptonic B decays $B \rightarrow (\psi ,\psi^\prime , \chi_{1c})+K^i$, where $K^i$ are various K-meson resonances. We use the model of Isgur, Wise, Scora and Grinstein in the context of heavy quark effective theory, to…
