In the paper, we investigate the charmed meson rare decay process $D^+ \to \pi^+\nu\bar\nu$ by using QCD sum rules approach. Firstly, the pion twist-2 and twist-3 distribution amplitude $\xi$-moments $\langle\xi_{2;\pi}^n\rangle|_\mu$ up to…

We calculate the long distance contribution to $D^{+,0}\to\pi^{+,0}l^+l^-$ decays by the use of a vector meson dominance model, in which the $\phi$-meson plays the central role. The branching ratios obtained are $10^{-6}$ and a few times…

Pions produced via the $D^{+} \to \pi^{+} \overline{K^{0}}$ decay are in an entangled superposition of energy states because the $\overline{K^{0}}$ is not a mass eigenstate. This presents an opportunity to access kaon mixing parameters via…

Measurements of the rates for the hadronic decays B^+- -> pi K can be used to derive information on the weak phase gamma=arg(V_ub^*) in a largely model-independent way. Hadronic uncertainties can be reduced to the level of nonfactorizable…

The width of $B_c^+\to \psi \pi^+$ decay is calculated in the framework of factorization of a hard gluon exchange and a soft binding of quarks in the heavy quarkonium, so that ${\rm BR}(B_c^+\to \psi \pi^+) = 2.0\pm 0.5$ \%.

In QCD the amplitude for B0 -> D(*)+pi- factorizes in the large Nc limit or in the large energy limit Q >> Lambda_QCD where Q = {m_b, m_c, m_b-m_c}. Data also suggests factorization in exclusive processes B-> D* pi+ pi- pi- pi0 and B-> D*…
