It is argued that, in the presence of soft final-state interactions, the diagrammatic amplitude approach adopted in many analyses of hadronic B decays into light mesons can be misleading when used to deduce the unimportance of certain decay…
In this paper, we examine B -> VT decays (V is a vector and T is a tensor meson), whose final-state particles can have transverse or longitudinal polarization. Measurements have been made of B -> \phi K_2^*, and it is found that fT/fL is…
In this study, we examine the non-leptonic weak decays of doubly charmed baryons, denoted as ${\cal B}_{cc}\to{\cal B}_{c}P$, where ${\cal B}_{cc}$ represents the doubly charmed baryons, specifically…
Rare hadronic B-meson decays allow us to study CP violation. The class of B decays final states containing two vector mesons provides a rich set of angular correlation observables to study. This article reviews some of the recent…
We present two recent results obtained by the CDF collaboration at the Tevatron collider. New Cabibbo suppresed B_s decay modes have been observed using 5.9 inverse fb of data: B_s-> J/psi Ks and B_s->J/psi K*0. We report also on masurement…
We consider the weak decays of a B meson to final states that are mixtures of S-wave radially excited components. We consider non leptonic decays of the type $B \to \rho' \pi/B \to \rho \pi$, $B \to \omega' \pi/B \to \omega \pi$ and $B \to…
We report observations of radiative B meson decays into the K+pi-gamma and K+pi-pi+gamma final states. In the B0 -> K+pi-gamma channel, we present evidence for decays via an intermediate tensor meson state with a branching fraction of B(B0…
Non-leptonic $B$ decays into charmless final states offer an important laboratory to study CP violation and the dynamics of strong interactions. Particularly interesting are $B^0_s\to K^-K^+$ and $B^0_d\to\pi^-\pi^+$ decays, which are…
We give an overview of the experimental measurements and the theoretical understanding of the branching fractions and CP-violating asymmetries of charmless B-meson decays. Most experimetal results are from the BABAR and Belle experiments…
We systematically analyze the decays $B_{(s)} \to D_{(s)} (V^* \to)\, V\, P$, where $V^*$ represents a vector resonance ($\rho, \, \omega$ or $K^*$), and $V P$ denotes the final-state meson pairs $ \omega\, \pi$, $ \rho\, \pi$ and $ \rho \,…
The color-suppressed \bar B^0-> D^{(*)0}\pi^0, D^{(*)0}\eta, D^0\omega decay modes have just been observed for the first time. The rates are all larger than expected, hinting at the presence of final state interactions. Considering \bar…
We present the first complete results for the semileptonic and rare radiative form factors of B-mesons weak decay into a light vector-meson (rho, omega, K*, phi) in the light-cone sum-rule approach. The calculation includes radiative…
We report measurements related to hadronic $B$ decays to final states that contain charm mesons. The analyses are performed on a $62.8~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ data set collected by the Belle II experiment at a center-of-mass energy corresponding…
We investigate the charmless decays of excited $P$-wave charmonia $\chi_{c1}^\prime \to VV$ and $\chi_{c2}^\prime \to VP$ via intermediate charmed meson loops, where $V$ and $P$ denote the light vector and pseudoscalar mesons, respectively.…
We examine the role of resonant coupled channel final state interactions (FSI), as well as weak annihilation and exchange contributions in explaining all the two body hadronic $D\rightarrow PP$ decay modes data. In the un-unitarized…
I present latest measurements from the B factories of branching fractions for B meson decays to hadronic two- and three-body final states. These include the rate of doubly Cabibbo-suppressed charge states of charmed mesons in two-body…
Exclusive semileptonic B decays to the lightest excited charmed mesons are investigated at order $\Lambda_{QCD}/m_Q$ in the heavy quark effective theory. At zero recoil, $\Lambda_{QCD}/m_Q$ corrections to the matrix elements of the weak…
An attempt is made to identify circumstances under which the weak decays of $D$ and $B$ mesons may display large differences between eigenphases of strong final-state interactions. There are several cases in which rescattering from other…
It is well known that large nonfragmentational contributions to inclusive production of charmed particles appear at low energies. In the case of charm production in $B$-meson decays these contributions arise from the participation of the…
Using a data sample of 10.5 1/fb collected by the Belle detector, three-body charmless decays B+ --> K+h+h- have been studied. The following branching fractions have been obtained: Br(B+ --> K+pi-pi+) = (64.8+-10.0+-7.0) x 10**-6 and Br(B+…
