We derive the four-fold angular distribution for the semileptonic decay $\bar{B}\to D_2^*(\to D \pi)\,\ell \bar{\nu}$ where $D_2^*$(2460) is a tensor meson. We start with the most general beyond the Standard Model (SM) dimension-six…

We present results of a detailed study of the three-body $\bar{B}^0\to\Sigma_c(2455)^{0}\bar{p}\pi^{+}$ decay. A significant enhancement of signal events is observed in the $\bar{p}\pi^+$ mass system near $1.5 {\rm GeV}/c^2$ that is…
We study the charmful three-body baryonic B decays with $D^{(*)}$ or $J/\Psi$ in the final state. We explain the measured rates of $\bar B^0\to n\bar p D^{*+}$, $\bar B^0\to p\bar p D^{(*)0}$, and $B^-\to \Lambda \bar p J/\Psi$. In…

Branching fractions and CP-violating asymmetries of charmless $B_s\to PPP$ decays with $P=K,\pi$ are studied using a simple model based on the factorization approach. The penguin-dominated modes $B_s\to \bar K^0 K^+\pi^-$ and $K^0K^-\pi^+$…
Hadronic $B$ decays without a charm quark constitute a powerful probe to search for physics beyond the standard model as well as to provide constraints on $CP$ violation parameters. We report final measurements from Belle of the branching…
