The decay modes of the type $B \to \pi \, D $ are dynamically different. For the case $\bar{B_{d}^0} \to \pi^- D^{+} $ there is a substantial factorized contribution which dominates. In contrast, the decay mode $\bar{B_{d}^0} \to \pi^0…

We estimate the density matrix element for the pi^0, eta and eta' production from the vacuum in the large-N_c limit. As a consequence, we find that the QCD axial anomaly leads to highly non-trivial corrections to the usual flavour SU(3)…

We compare two different frameworks which have been proposed to include the eta' in chiral perturbation theory. The equivalence of these two approaches is shown both for the purely mesonic case and in the presence of the ground state baryon…

The effective quark Lagrangian is written for a light quark in the field of a static antiquark, explicitly containing field correlators as coefficient functions of products of quark operators. At large N_c the closed system of equations for…

We systematically analyze the supersymmetric contributions to the mixing CP asymmetries and branching ratios of B -> Phi K(S) and B -> eta(prime) K(S) processes. We consider both gluino and chargino exchanges in a model independent way by…

The main goal of this paper is to elaborate the model-framework parametrization of effective coupling constants of the extended chiral lagrangian which is suitable for the description of the low-energy matrix elements of vector,…

We study the Z'-> ggg decay in the context of a left-right symmetric gauge theory. We obtain a branching ratio BR(Z'-> ggg)=\Gamma(Z'->ggg)/ \Gamma(Z'-> q\bar{q})= (1.2-2.8) x 10^{-5} for m_{Z'}=(700-1500) GeV. We also study the…

We report measurements of branching fractions for the decays B --> P l nu, where P are the pseudoscalar charmless mesons pi-, pi0, eta and eta', based on 348 fb-1 of data collected with the BABAR detector, using B0 and B+ mesons found in…

The inclusive branching ratio for the process b -> tau nu X has been measured using hadronic Z decays collected by the OPAL experiment at LEP in the years 1992-2000. The result is: BR(b -> tau nu X) = (2.78 +/- 0.18 +/- 0.51)% This…

We study $B \to \eta' X_s$ within the framework of the Standard Model. Several mechanisms such as $b \to \eta' s g$ from the QCD anomaly, and $b \to \eta's $ and $B\to \eta' s \bar q$ from four-quark operators are treated simultaneously. We…

A phenomenological analysis of radiative $V\to P\gamma$ and $P\to V\gamma$ decays is performed in order to determine the gluonic content of the $\eta^\prime$ wave function. Our result shows that there is no evidence for such a gluonium…

We combine recent progress in measuring the branching ratio of the decay B->X_d gamma$ with the discovery that hadronic uncertainties in the CP-averaged branching ratio drop out to a large extent. Implications of these improvements on the…
