Besides the conventional strong and electromagnetic decay modes, the $J/{\psi}$ particle can also decay via the weak interaction in the standard model. In this paper, nonleptonic $J/{\psi}$ ${\to}$ $D_{s,d}{\pi}$, $D_{s,d}K$ weak decays,…

We compute the strong coupling constant $G_{B^{**} B \pi} \; (G_{D^{**} D \pi})$, where $B^{**}$ ($D^{**}$) is the $0^+$ $P-$wave $b \bar q \; (c \bar q)$ state, by QCD sum rules and by light-cone sum rules. The two methods give compatible…

We have analyzed the latest NA50 data on $J/\psi$ suppression in Pb + Pb collisions. $J/\psi$ production is assumed to be a two step process, (i) formation of $c\bar{c}$ pair, which is accurately calculable in QCD and (ii) formation of…
