We study the radiative $\phi\to K^0\bar{K}^0\gamma$ decay within a phenomenological framework by considering the contributions of the $f_{0}(980)$ and $a_{0}(980)$ scalar resonances. We calculate the branching ratio $B(\phi\to…

In the SND experiment at VEPP-2M $e^+e^-$ collider the $\phi(1020)\to\pi^0\pi^0\gamma$ decay was studied and its branching ratio was measured: $B(\phi\to\pi^0\pi^0\gamma)=(1.221\pm 0.098\pm0.061)\cdot10^{-4}$. It was shown, that…

We describe a light-cone QCD sum rule calculation of the $B_s\to f_0(980)$ transition form factors useful to predict the branching ratios of the rare decays $B_s \to f_0 \ell^+ \ell^-$, $B_s \to f_0 \nu \bar \nu$ and of $B_s\to J/\psi f_0$…

We study the radiative decay $\phi\to\pi^{0}\eta\gamma$ within the framework of a phenomenological approach in which the contributions of $\rho$-meson, chiral loop and $a_0$-meson are considered. We analyze the interference effects between…

We investigate the radiative decays of the $\phi$ meson to the scalar mesons $a_0(980)$ and $f_0(980)$. We demonstrate that, contrary to earlier claims, these decays should be of the same order of magnitude for a molecular state and for a…

We use the QCD sum rules to evaluate the form factors associated with the semileptonic decays of $D_s$ and $D$ mesons into $f_0(980)$. We consider the $f_0(980)$ meson as a quark-antiquark state with a mixture of strange and light…

We consider the nonleptonic and semileptonic decays of $D_s$-mesons into $\phi$ and $f_0(980)$ mesons. QCD sum rules are used to calculate the form factors associated with these decays, and the correspondig decay rates. On the basis of data…

The radiative decay $B \to \phi K \gamma$ is observed for the first time. The branching fraction for the charged $B^- \to \phi K^- \gamma$ decay mode is measured to be ${\cal B}(B^- \to \phi K^- \gamma) = (3.4 \pm 0.9 \pm 0.4) \times…

With the perturbative QCD approach based on $k_T$ factorization, we study the pure annihilation type radiative decays $B^0 \to \phi\gamma$ and $B^0\to J/\psi \gamma$. We find that the branching ratio of $B^0 \to \phi\gamma$ is…

The measured rate for phi to gamma f0(980) appears to be larger than allowed on rather general grounds. We show that mixing between the f0(980) and a0(980), due to their dynamical interaction with the nearby KKbar thresholds, radically…
