The considerable influx of new data on B decays offers opportunities to determine some of the smaller contributions to the decay process, such as suppressed diagrams, and to test the relations between decay amplitudes implied by (broken)…
Based on lattice simulations with two flavours of dynamical, O(a)-improved Wilson fermions we present results for the first two moments of the distribution amplitudes of pseudoscalar mesons at several values of the valence quark masses. By…
Uncertainty in the PQCD calculation of B decays is investigated in $B\to \pi$, $B\to D$ transition form factors and $B\to D\pi$ decay amplitudes. $B$ meson distributionamplitude dependence is studied by taking three kinds of distribution…
We analyze the quasi-two-body decays $B\to K\rho\to K\pi\pi$ in the perturbative QCD (PQCD) approach, in which final-state interactions between the pions in the resonant regions associated with the $P$-wave states $\rho(770)$ and…
The two-body strong decays of the $f_0(1500)$, $f_0(1710)$, $a_0(1710)$, $f_2(1270)$, $f_2'(1525)$, and $K_2^*(1430)$ resonances are investigated, assuming them as dynamically generated states of two vector mesons via $s$-wave interactions.…
We compute the amplitudes for non-leptonic annihilation decays of $B$ mesons into two particles within the pQCD collinear approach. The end point divergences are regulated with the help of an infrared finite gluon propagator characterized…
In the heavy quark limit, both vector mesons in the charmless B -> VV decay should have zero helicity and the corresponding amplitude is proportional to the form factor difference $(A_1-A_2)$. The first observed charmless $B\to VV$ mode,…
We extend the framework of QCD factorization to non-leptonic $B$ decays into three light mesons, taking as an example the decay $B^+ \to \pi^+ \pi^+ \pi^-$. We discuss the factorization properties of this decay in different regions of phase…
In this note, we study the contributions from the S-wave resonances, f_{0}(980) and f_{0}(1500), to the B^{0}_{s}\rightarrow \psi(3770)\pi^ {+}\pi^{-} decay by introducing the S-wave \pi\pi distribution amplitudes within the framework of…
Nonleptonic charmless B decays into a pseudoscalar (P) or a vector (V) meson accompanying a tensor (T) meson are re-analyzed. We scrutinize the hadronic uncertainties and ambiguities of the form factors which appear in the literature. The…
We summarize a recent calculation of the evolution kernels of the two-particle B-meson distribution amplitudes $\phi_+$ and $\phi_-$ taking into account three-particle contributions. In addition to a few phenomenological comments, we give…
Angular distributions of $\phi$ meson decay amplitudes of $e^+e^-$ and $K^+K^-$ channels are computed using both specific interaction Lagrangians and simple arguments relying on angular momentum conservation. Based on the obtained results,…
We study the two-body decay of mesons using the covariant helicity formalism. We find that to explain the ratio of partials wave amplitudes (PWAs) of the decay, the Lagrangian must include derivative interactions in addition to contact…
Charmless three-body decays of B mesons is studied using a simple model based on the framework of the factorization approach. Hadronic three-body decays receive both resonant and nonresonant contributions. Dominant nonresonant contributions…
We report results of our ongoing investigation concerning semileptonic decays of heavy pseudoscalar mesons into pseudoscalar and vector mesons. Particular attention is paid to uncertainties in the $q^2$ and the heavy quark mass dependence…
The low-energy S-wave component of the decay $D^+ \to K^- \pi^+ \pi^+$ is studied by means of a chiral SU(3)XSU(3) effective theory. As far as the primary vertex is concerned, we allow for the possibility of either direct production of…
We derive the four-fold angular distribution for the semileptonic decay $\bar{B}\to D_2^*(\to D \pi)\,\ell \bar{\nu}$ where $D_2^*$(2460) is a tensor meson. We start with the most general beyond the Standard Model (SM) dimension-six…
We study the two-body decays of mesons using the covariant helicity formalism. In particular, we show how the partial wave analysis of decays constrains the interacting terms entering the Lagrangian describing the decays of mesons with…
The vector meson strong decays rho-->pi pi, phi-->KK, and K^star-->pi K are studied within a covariant approach based on the ladder-rainbow truncation of the QCD Dyson--Schwinger equation for the quark propagator and the Bethe--Salpeter…
We explore the two-body non-leptonic weak decays of $\Omega_c^0$ into final states ${\bf B}^{(*)}M$ and ${\bf B}^{(*)}V$, where ${\bf B}^{(*)}$ denotes an octet (a decuplet) baryon and $M(V)$ represents a pseudoscalar (vector) meson. We…
