Non-factorizable effects on the color-suppressed $B\to D^{(*)}\pi$ decay modes are analyzed. Recent observations of $\Bbar^0\to D^{(*)0}\pi^0$ by Belle and CLEO strongly suggest that there exists a non-zero strong phase difference between…
In view of important implications in the B decay, the 0-0- decay modes of J/psi are analyzed with broken flavor SU(3) symmetry in search for long-distance final-state interactions. If we impose one mild theoretical constraint on the…
We show that both the weak phase \beta and the strong phase \delta_d can be determined from the time-dependent measurement of B_d -> D^{*\pm} D^{\mp} decays, whose final states are non-CP eigenstates. It is also possible to extract \beta…
Using data from the B factories and the Tevatron, we perform tests of how well non-leptonic B decays of the kind B -> D^{(*)}_{(s)} P, where P is a pion or kaon, are described within the factorization framework. We find that factorization…
Similar to other heavy flavor mesons, the weak decays of $D^*_{(s)}$ mesons can provide a platform to verify the standard model, explore new physics, and understand the mechanisms of weak interactions. At present, the theoretical and…
