The chiral symmetry of QCD requires energy-dependent pionic strong interactions at low energies. This constraint, however, is not fulfilled by the usual Breit--Wigner parameterization of pionic resonances, leading to masses larger than the…
Motivated by the recent LHCb observation of $CP$ violation in charm, we study $CP$ violation in the charmed baryon decays. A simple method to search for the $CP$ violation relations in the flavor $SU(3)$ limit, which is associated with a…
The decays B -> D^{**} pi, where D^{**} is a narrow p-wave charm resonance, are investigated in the context of a generalized factorization hypothesis, including the leading nonfactorizable corrections. The decay rates for these processes…
The decay $B^0\rightarrow D^{*+}D^-$ is favorable mode for studying $CP$ violation in the interference between mixing and decay for $B^0$ and $\bar{B}^0$ mesons. The latest analysis of the $CP$ parameters has been performed by the LHCb…

The first observations of $B^0\rightarrow\overline{D}^{*}(2007)^{0}K^{+}\pi^{-}$ and $B_s^0\rightarrow\overline{D}^{*}(2007)^{0}K^{-}\pi^{+}$ decays are presented, and their branching fractions relative to that of the…
The study of mesons and baryons which contain at least one charm quark is referred to as open charm physics. It offers the possibility to study up-type quark transitions. Since the $c$ quark can not be treated in any mass limit, theoretical…
We present preliminary results of several analyses searching for the effects of CP violation and mixing in the decay of $D^0$ mesons. We find no evidence of CP asymmetry in five different two-body decay modes of the $D^0$ to pairs of light…
We consider hadronic weak decays of beauty-baryons into charmless baryons and pseudoscalar mesons in a general framework based on $SU(3)$ decomposition of the decay amplitudes. The advantage of the approach lies in the ability to perform an…
We have searched for CP-violating asymmetries in neutral charm meson decays in 13.7 fb^-1 of e^+e^- collision data at sqrt{s} = 10.6 GeV with the CLEO detector. The measured asymmetries in the rate of D0 and D0bar decays to K0sPi0, Pi0Pi0…
We analyze the weak processes of anti-triplet charmed baryons decaying to octet baryons and mesons with the SU(3) flavor symmetry and topological quark diagram scheme. We study the decay branching ratios without neglecting the contributions…
We study effects of new physics beyond the Standard Model on SU(3) symmetry in charmless hadronic two body B decays. It is found that several equalities for some of the decay amplitudes, such as $A(B_d (B_u) \to \pi^+\pi^-,\pi^+ K^- (\pi^-…
We prove that CP violating rate difference $\Delta (\bar B^0 \rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-) = \Gamma (\bar B^0 \rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-) - \Gamma ( B^0 \rightarrow \pi^-\pi^+)$ is related to $\Delta (\bar B^0 \rightarrow \pi^+ K^-) = \Gamma (\bar…
We study the singly charmed baryon two-body decays of $\mathbf{B}_c \rightarrow \mathbf{B}_D P$ under $SU(3)_{F}$ flavor symmetry, where ${\bf B}_{c}$ refers to anti-triplet singly charmed baryons, and ${\bf B}_{D}$ and $P$ denote decuplet…
An improved flavor SU(3) method is presented for determining the weak angle $\gamma$ of the unitarity triangle using decay rates for $B^+\to K\pi, B^+\to K^+\bar K^0$ and $B^+\to \pi^+\eta$ (or $B^0\to K\pi$ and $B_s\to K \pi$), their…
We present new results on charm hadron decays from the CLEO II experiment. The D*+ width is measured for the first time, Gamma(D*+) = 96 +- 4 +- 22 keV. The semileptonic decay branching fractions are determined to be B(D+ --> Kbar*0 e+…
