We analyze the dominant decay mechanisms in the radiative decays D -> V gamma, D -> P(V) l+ l-, D -> gamma gamma, D -> l+ l- gamma, and we discuss possible chances to observe the effects of new physics in these decays. Then we comment on…
We (re)examine CP violation in the decays B_d -> D K_s, where D represents D^0, D(bar), or one of their excited states. The quantity $\sin^2(2\beta + \gamma)$ can be extracted from the time-dependent rates for $B_d(t) -> {\bar D}^{**0} K_s$…
In this work, we investigate the mass spectra of excited charmonia employing a nonrelativistic potential model with screening effect, and analyze their two-body strong decay, two-photon decay, leptonic decay, and hadronic transitions.…
New physics (NP) in charmless strangeness-changing $B$ and $B_s$ decays, which are dominated by the $b \to s$ penguin amplitudes, can either preserve isospin or change it by one unit. A general formalism is presented studying pairs of…
Exclusive semileptonic decays of B mesons to orbitally excited D mesons are considered beyond the infinitely heavy quark limit in the framework of the relativistic quark model based on the quasipotential approach. This model agrees with the…
Non-leptonic D meson decays may provide a reliable testbed for the multiquark interpretation of light scalar mesons. In this letter we consider D_s decay and show that a 4-quark f_0(980) meson could induce a decay pattern, which is…

We study the two- and three-body decays of the $I=0$ $D_1K$ and $D_2K$ molecular states $T_{c\bar{s}1}^*$ and $T_{c\bar{s}2}^*$ into $D_s^{(*)}$ mesons and pions. Triangle singularities produce narrow peaks in the $D_s^*\pi$ and $D_s\pi$…
In this work, we first perform a systematic study of the transition magnetic moments and the corresponding radiative decay behaviors of the $B_c$-like molecular states associated with their mass spectra, where the constituent quark model is…
Non-leptonic two-body decays are discussed on the basis of a generalized factorization approach. It is shown that a satisfactory description of numerous decay processes can be given using the same two parameters a_1^{eff} and a_2^{eff}.…
Recently LHCb reported the discovery of five extremely narrow excited $\Omega_c$ baryons decaying into $\Xi_c^+ K^-$. We interpret these baryons as bound states of a $c$-quark and a $P$-wave $ss$-diquark. For such a system there are exactly…
The spectra and branching ratios of the weak semi-leptonic B meson decays to the first excited D mesons are predicted, taking into account the confined effects of quarks using the covariant oscillator quark model (COQM). In the COQM the…
Using 281 pb^-1 of data collected with the CLEO-c detector, we report on first observations and new measurements of Cabibbo-suppressed decays of D mesons to 2, 3, 4, and 5 pions. Branching fractions of previously unobserved modes are…
The radiative decays of $D^*$, $B^*$, and other excited heavy mesons are analyzed in a relativistic quark model for the light degrees of freedom and in the limit of heavy quark spin-flavor symmetry. The analysis of strong decays carried out…
In this work, we study the masses of the $1S$-, $1P$-, $1D$-, $2S$-, and $2P$-wave $\Omega_c$ baryon states within a semi-relativistic constituent quark potential model. Furthermore, the strong decay properties for the excited $\Omega_c$…
Semileptonic and nonleptonic decays of the B_c meson are studied in the framework of the relativistic quark model. The heavy quark expansion in inverse powers of the heavy (b,c) quark mass is used to simplify calculations while the light…
Pion emitting decays and radiative ones of D^{*+,0} and D_s^{*+} are studied. As the result, the full-width of D^{*0} is predicted, by assuming the isospin symmetry. In addition, the isospin non-conserving D_s^{*+} --> D_s^+ pi^0 decay is…
The availability of branching fractions for a large majority of $D_s$ decays permits the prediction of inclusive branching fractions. This is achieved with the help of a modest amount of input from an isospin statistical model applied to…
We study the exclusive semileptonic decays B_s->D_{s0}^*\ell\bar\nu and B_s->D_{s1}^*\ell\bar\nu, where p-wave excited D_{s0}^* and D_{s1}^* states are identified with the newly observed D_{sJ}(2317) and D_{sJ}(2460) states. Within the…
