We evaluate the decay constants for the B and $D$ mesons and the form factors for the semileptonic decays of the B meson to $D$ and $D^*$ mesons in a Bethe-Salpeter model. From data we extract $V_{cb}=0.039 \pm 0.002$ from ${\bar B} \to D^*…
The decays B^+ --> D^{*+}_s gamma and B^+ --> D^{*+} gamma can be used for an extraction of |V_{ub}|. When the b and c quarks are nearly degenerate the rate for these modes can be determined in terms of other observed rates, namely B\bar{B}…
We propose the decay modes $B \to a_0 (\to \eta \pi) \pi$ to determine the CKM phase $\alpha$. One can analyze these modes through (i) the $B \to a_0 \pi$ isospin pentagon, (ii) the time dependent Dalitz plot of $B^0(t) \to a_0^{\pm}…

Measurements of the effective lifetimes of $B_s$-meson decays, which only require untagged rate analyses, allow us to probe the width difference $\Delta\Gamma_s$ and the CP-violating phase $\phi_s$ of $B^0_s$-$\bar B^0_s$ mixing. We point…
