I discuss a model independent determination of the widths of a class of two-body $\bar{B}_s^0 $ decays induced by $b \to c \bar u d$ and $b \to c \bar u s$ transitions. The analysis is based on $SU(3)_F$ symmetry and exploits existing…
Based on the assumption of two-quark structure for the light scalar mesons, within the framework of perturbative QCD approach, we investigate the $B_{q}\to D_{(s)}^{(*)} S(q=u,d,s)$ decays induced by $b\to u $ transition, where $S$ denotes…
The $\Delta S = 2$ transition $b \to s s \bar d$ is extremely small in the standard model, proceeding only via box diagrams. Such decays are thus an appropriate ground for searching new physics. We present a study of several two-body and…
Motivated by the anomalies present in $b \to s\,l^+\,l^-$ neutral current decays, we study the corresponding $B_c \to (D_s,\,D^{\ast}_s)\mu^+\mu^-$ decays within the standard model and beyond. We use a model independent effective theory…
Two- and three-body decays of $\Upsilon (5S)$ into $BB, $$ BB^*, $ $ B^*B^*,$ $ B_sB_s, $ $B_sB_s^*, $ $B_s^* B_s^*$ and $BB^*\pi, B^*B^*\pi$ are evaluated using the theory, developed earlier for dipion bottomonium transitions. The theory…
The decays of $B$ mesons to two-body hadronic final states are analyzed within the context of broken flavor SU(3) symmetry, extending a previous analysis involving pairs of light pseudoscalars to decays involving one or two charmed quarks…
In this article, we study the two-body strong decays of the bottom mesons with the heavy meson effective theory in the leading order approximation, and obtain all the analytical expressions of the decay widths of the light pseudoscalar…
The b to d d s bar transition gives extremely small branching ratios within the standard model, thus providing an appropriate ground for testing new physics. Using renormalization group technique we determine the Wilson coefficients and the…
The charmed B decays, $B\to DP, ~D^*P$ and $DV$, are re-analyzed using the latest experimental data, where $P$ and $V$ denote the pseudoscalar meson and vector meson, respectively. We perform global fits under the assumption of flavor SU(3)…
We study two-body hadronic $B_s\to PT$ decays, with $P (T)$ being a light pseudoscalar (tensor) meson, in the perturbative QCD approach. The CP-averaged branching ratios and the direct CP asymmetries of the $\Delta S=0$ modes are predicted,…
The $\Delta S = 2$ $b \to \bar d ss$ transition proceeds via the box - diagram in the Standard Model with a branching ratio calculated to be below $10^{-11}$, thus providing an appropriate testing ground for physics beyond the Standard…
We re-analyze hadronic decays of B mesons to a pseudoscalar (P) and a tensor meson (T), or a vector meson (V) and a tensor meson, through a $b \to c$ transition. We discuss possible large uncertainties to branching ratios (BR's) of the…
As a consequence of the Ward identity for hadronic matrix elements, we find relations between the differential decay rates of semileptonic decay modes with the underlying quark-level transition $b\rightarrow c\tau \nu$, which are valid in…
About 90% of Bs-bar Bs pairs produced at the Upsilon(5s) resonance are initially Bs*-bar Bs* pairs which decay radiatively to Bs-bar Bs. This implies that the Bs pair will then be in an eigenstate of charge conjugation (i.e. C=-1) and…
Various nonleptonic decay channels mediated by the quark-level subprocess $b\to s\bar{s} s$ show hints of deviation from the Standard Model expectations. We analyse the double-vector decay $B\to\phi K^\ast$ with different generic new…
Decays of the D mesons to two pseudoscalars, to two vectors, and to pseudoscalar plus vector are discussed in the context of broken flavor SU(3). A few assumptions are used to reduce the number of parameters. Amplitudes are fit to the…
psi and Upsilon decays may be used to search for light neutral spin-1 or spin-0 bosons associated with a broken extra-U(1) symmetry, local or global, acting axially on quarks and leptons, as may be present in supersymmetric theories with a…
We report the results of the first search for Standard Model and baryon-number-violating two-body decays of the neutral $B$ mesons to $\Lambda^{0}$ and $\Omega^{(*)0}_c$ using 711~${\rm fb^{-1}}$ of data collected at the $\Upsilon(4S)$…
The in-medium partial decay widths of $\Upsilon (4S) \rightarrow B\bar B$ in magnetized asymmetric nuclear matter are studied using a field theoretic model for composite hadrons with quark (and antiquark) constituents. The medium…
We consider two body decays of B meson into a light vector (V) and a pseudoscalar (P) meson. The constraint obtained from the $B\to P P$ modes on the parameter space of the input parameters is imposed also on $B\to V P$ modes. In particular…
