Using 482 pb$^{-1}$ of data taken at $\sqrt{s}=4.009$ GeV, we measure the branching fractions of the decays of $D^{*0}$ into $D^0\pi^0$ and $D^0\gamma$ to be $\BR(D^{*0} \to D^0\pi^0)=(65.5\pm 0.8\pm 0.5)%$ and $\BR(D^{*0} \to…
The $B \to K^{*}\rho$, $ K^{*}\omega$ decays are useful to determine the CKM angle $\phi_3=\gamma$. Their polarization fractions are also interesting since the polarization puzzle of the $B\to \phi K^*$ decay. We study these decays in the…

We present a measurement of $D^0$-$\bar{D^0}$ mixing parameters using the ratios of lifetimes extracted from a sample of $D^0$ mesons produced through the process $D^{*+}\to\D^0\pi^+$, that decay to $K^{+}\pi^{-}$, K^{-}K^{+}$, or…
The first observation of the $B^0_s\to\bar{D}^0 K^0_S$ decay mode and evidence for the $B^0_s\to\bar{D}^{*0} K^0_S$ decay mode are reported. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 $\text{fb}^{-1}$ collected in $pp$…
The nature of strange axial-vector mesons are not well understood and can be investigated in $D$ meson decays. In this work, it is found that the experimental data of $D^0\rightarrow K^\pm K^\mp_1(1270)(\to \rho K…
The rare decay $\bar B_d^0\to J/\psi \phi$ can proceed in four distinct mechanisms: (i) production of the $\phi$ via tri-gluon fusion, (ii) photoproduction of the $J/\psi$ or $\phi$, (iii) final-state rescattering of $D_s^{(*)}D_s^{(*)}$…
The decay $B^{\pm}\to DK^{\pm}$ followed by the subsequent decay of the $D$ meson into final states involving a neutral kaon can be used to determine the CKM angle $\gamma$. We study CP violation effects due to mixing and decay of the final…

Strategies that utilise the interference effects within $B^{\pm} \to DK^{\pm}$ decays hold great potential for improving our sensitivity to the CKM angle $\gamma$. However, in order to exploit fully this potential, detailed knowledge of the…
