We study the charmless two-body $\Lambda_b\to \Lambda (\phi,\eta^{(\prime)})$ and three-body $\Lambda_b\to \Lambda K^+K^- $ decays. We obtain ${\cal B}(\Lambda_b\to \Lambda\phi)=(3.53\pm 0.24)\times 10^{-6}$ to agree with the recent LHCb…

We provide results for the open-flavor strong decays of open-charm ($D$ and $D_{\rm s}$) and open-bottom ($B$, $B_{\rm s}$ and $B_{\rm c}$) mesons. The decays are calculated in a modified version of the $^3P_0$ pair-creation model, assuming…
Results on Dalitz analysis of three-body charmless B+=>K+pi+pi- and B+=>K+K+K- decays are reported. We also present preliminary results on the studies of direct CP violation in three-body decay B+-=>K+-pi+pi-. The analysis is performed…
In view of the extreme smallness of $\Delta S = 2$ transitions of $B$ meson in the Standard Model, we consider their occurence in several extensions of it. Thus, we analyze the three - body $B^- \to K^- K^- \pi^+$ and two - body $B^- \to…
