Inspired by the latest experimental progress, we systematically study the OZI-allowed two-body strong decay properties of $1P$-, $1D$-, $2S$- and $2P$-wave $\Lambda_c$ baryons within the $j $-$j$ coupling scheme in the framework of the…
The non-$D \bar D$ decays of the $\ppp = \psi(3770)$ resonance are reviewed and possibilities for further measurements are noted. These decays can shed light on S--D mixing, the ``missing'' $\psi' = \psi(3686)$ decays, a possible…
Motived by the accumulated experimental results on three-body charmed $B$ decays with resonance contributions in Babar, LHCb and Belle (II), we systematically analyze $B_{(s)} \to D_{(s)} (V \to) P_1 P_2 $ decays with $V$ representing a…
We study the resonances $\phi(1020)$ and $\phi(1680)$ contributions for the three-body decays $B^+ \to D_s^+K\bar K$ in the perturbative QCD approach. The branching ratios for $B^+ \to D_s^+\phi(1020) \to D_s^+ K^+K^-$ and $B^+ \to…
Particle-decaying states of the light nuclei $^{11,12}$N and $^{12}$O were studied using the invariant-mass method. The decay energies and intrinsic widths of a number of states were measured, and the momentum correlations of three-body…
We show that the CKM phase $2 \beta+\gamma$ can be extracted from measurement of the time dependent rates in the decays $\bar{B}^0 \to D^{(*)\pm} M^\mp$ and $B^0 \to D^{(*)\pm} M^\mp$, where $M=a_0$, $\pi(1300)$, $b_1$, $a_2$, $\pi_2$,…
The decay constants of the low lying S-wave $B_c$ mesons, i.e. $B_c(nS)$ and $B^*_c(nS)$ with $n\leq 3$, are calculated in the nonrelativistic quark model. The running coupling of the strong interaction is taken into account, and the…
We present a measurement of the branching fraction and time-dependent CP violation parameters for B0 -> D*+ D*- Ks decays. We also obtain an upper limit on the product branching fraction for the possible two-body decay, B0 -> Ds1+(2536)…
We present a new method for measuring the CP phase \alpha. It requires the measurement of the pure penguin decays Bd(t) -> K(*) Kbar(*) and B_s -> K(*) Kbar(*). The method is quite clean: we estimate the theoretical uncertainty to be at…
We report the observation of the $B$ meson decay $B^\pm\to J/\psi \eta K^\pm$ and evidence for the decay $B^0\to J/\psi \eta K^0_S$, using {90} million $BBbar$ events collected at the $\ensuremath{\Upsilon{(4S)}}\xspace$ resonance with the…
The new charmed resonance $ D_2^*(3000) $ was observed by the LHCb Collaboration in $ B $ decays. In this paper, by assigning it as four possible excited states of the $ 2^+ $ family, we use the instantaneous Bethe-Salpeter method to…
We present measurements of the branching fractions and charge asymmetries (where appropriate) of two-body B decays to eta(')K*, eta(')rho, eta(')pi0, omegapi0, and phipi0. The data were recorded with the BABAR detector at PEP-II and…
This paper presents a study of the charmless three-body decays ${B^0_{(s)} \to K_{\mathrm{S}}^0 h^+ h^{\prime -}}$ (where $h^{(\prime)} = \pi, K$), using a sample of $pp$ collision data collected by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an…
The two body decays of $B_d$ and $B_s$ decays into $J/\psi M$, where $M$ is a light meson, is studied under the very simple assumptions that the spectator quark does not play a role in the decay of the weak heavy quark or antiquark. This…
New physics effects may yield a detectable mass difference in the D0-D0bar system, Delta m_D. Here we show that this has an important impact on some B --> D decays. The effect involves a new source of CP violation, which arises from the…
BES Collaboration measured the $R$ values at 3.650, 3.6648 and 3.773 GeV, the $R$ values at 68 energy points in the energy region between 3.650 and 3.872 GeV, the resonance parameters of $\psi(3686)$ and $\psi(3770)$, the branching…
Several methods have been devised to measure the weak phase gamma using decays of the type B+- --> D K+-, where it is assumed that there is no mixing in the D0-D0bar system. However, when using these methods to uncover new physics, one must…
We report on analyses of $B^-$ mesons decaying into $D^{*+}\pi^-\pi^-$ and $D^+\pi^-\pi^-$ final states using 89 million $B^-$ decays collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy $B$ Factory. Preliminary measurements are…
We present a theoretical framework for calculating the asymptotic properties and decay dynamics of three-body resonances described in a discrete basis. The method involves solving an inhomogeneous Schr\"odinger equation to determine the…
We study the productions of first radial excited states $D_q(2S)$ ($q=u, d, s$) and $B_q(2S)$ in exclusive semi-leptonic $B_{q'}$ ($q'=u, d s, c$) decays by the improved Bethe-Salpeter method. These 2S states can be detected through their…
