We study the heavy quark effective theory prediction for semileptonic $B$ decays into an orbital excited $F$-wave charmed doublet, the ($2^{+}$, $3^{+}$) states ($D^{*'}_{2}$, $D_{3}$), at the leading order of heavy quark expansion. The…
The charged $\Sigma_b$ and $\Sigma^*_b$ states have recently been reported by the CDF Collaboration. The relation of their reported charge-averaged masses to expectations based on the quark model is reviewed briefly. A relation is proved…
Using the variational principle, we systematically investigate the mass spectra and wave functions of both $1S$ and $2S$ state heavy pseudoscalar $(P)$ and vector $(V)$ mesons within the light-front quark model. This approach incorporates a…
Stimulated by the new experimental LHCb findings associated with the $\Omega_c$ states, some of which we have described in a previous work as being dynamically generated through meson-baryon interaction, we have extended this approach to…
We predict the spectrum of the four $1S$ and eight $1P$ nonstrange and strange states in the beauty meson family in the context of effective field theory. By the union of heavy quark effective theory and chiral perturbation theory, the mass…
In this work, we study the $B^+\to K^+ E_{\mathrm{miss}}$, $B^0\to K^{*0} E_{\mathrm{miss}}$, and $\Lambda_b^0\to \Lambda^0 E_{\mathrm{miss}}$ decays under three different new physics hypotheses: the heavy new particles, the light neutral…

We review recent measurements of heavy B hadron states including masses and lifetimes of the Bc meson as well as excited B states (B**, Bs**). We discuss properties of the Bs meson such as lifetime, lifetime difference delta_Gamma/Gamma and…
Studying our semirelativistic potential model and the numerical results, which succeeds in predicting and reproducing recently discovered higher resonances of $D$, $D_s$, $B$, and $B_s$, we find a simple expression for the mass gap between…

The progresses in the experimental sector have been the harbinger of the observations of many new hadrons. Very recently, LHCb Collaboration announced the observation of two new $\Sigma_b(6097)^{\pm}$ states in the $\Lambda^0_b\pi^{\pm}$…
Semileptonic $B$ meson decays into the four lightest excited charmed meson states ($D_0^*$, $D_1^*$, $D_1$, and $D_2^*$) and their counterparts with $s$ quarks are investigated, including the full lepton mass dependence. We derive the…
The loop induced coupling of an intermediate mass Higgs boson to two photons is a sensitive and unique measure for precision tests of physics beyond the Standard Model. In this work we summarize recent results on the expected precision of…

Motivated by the two charged bottomonium-like resonances $Z_b$(10610) and $Z_b$(10650) newly observed by the Belle collaboration, the possible molecular states composed of a pair of heavy mesons, $B\bar{B}, B\bar{B}^*, B^*\bar{B}^*,…

We explain the main idea of the chiral doublers scenario, originating from simultaneous constraints of chiral symmetry and of heavy quark spin symmetry on effective theories of heavy-light hadrons. In particular we discuss chiral doublers…
