We examine the three-body baryonic $\bar B\to {\bf B\bar B'}V$ decays with $V$ vector mesons in the standard model. We can simultaneously explain the recent experimental data on the decays of $B^-\to \Lambda\bar p \,\rho^0$ and $\bar B\to…

Using the latest LHCb measurements of time-dependent CP violation in the B^0_s -> K^+K^- decay, a U-spin relation between the decay amplitudes of B^0_s -> K^+K^- and B^0 -> \pi^+\pi^- decay processes allows constraints to be placed on the…
We study the charmless two-body decays of $B\to {\bf B}_n \overline{\bf B}_n^\prime$ with $B = ( B^+ , B^0 , B^0_s)$ and ${\bf B}_n^{(\prime)}$ the low-lying octet baryons. The factorizable amplitudes are calculated by the modified bag…

Measurements performed with pairs of charm mesons produced at threshold from the decay of the $\psi(3770)$ resonance are of great value in flavour physics. The quantum correlation that exists between the two mesons allows unique access to…
