We study the decays $\bar B^0 \to \bar K^0 \, X$, $B^- \to K^- \, X$, $\bar B^0_s \to \eta (\eta')\, X$, $\bar B^0 \to \bar K^{*0} \, X$, $B^- \to K^{*-} \, X$ , $\bar B_s^0 \to \phi \, X$, with $X \equiv X(3872)$, from the perspective of…

The recently observed color suppressed B0bar to D0 pi0, D0 eta, D0 eta', Ds+ K-and D0 K0bar decay modes all have rates larger than expected, hinting at the presence of final state interactions. We study rescattering effects in Bbar to D P,…

In this paper we present the description of the flavor-untagged decays $B_{d}^{0}\to J/\psi K^{*0}$ and $B_{s}^{0}\to J/\psi \phi$ in the transversity basis. The study of these $B$ mesons in that basis makes it possible to extract…

We present measurements of time-dependent CP asymmetries in $B^0 \to \omega K_S^0$, $f_0 (980) K_S^0$, $K_S^0 \pi^0$ and $K^+ K^- K_S^0$ based on a sample of 535 $\times 10^6$ $B\bar{B}$ pairs collected at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with…

We discuss the theory and phenomenology of $B_{d,s}\to V(\to M_1M_2)\ell\ell$ decays in the presence of neutral-meson mixing. We derive expressions for the time-dependent angular distributions for decays into CP eigenstates, and identify…

We discuss what we can understand from $\phi_1$ and $B^0_d\to \pi^+ \pi^- $ decay mode. Using a convention without weak phases $\phi_2$ and $\phi_3$, we can solve the parameters from the time-depended CP asymmetry. If we can put a condition…

A flavour-tagged decay-time-dependent amplitude analysis of $B_s^0\to(K^+\pi^-)(K^-\pi^+)$ decays is presented in the $K^{\pm}\pi^{\mp}$ mass range from 750 to 1600 MeV$/c^2$. The analysis uses $pp$ collision data collected with the LHCb…
