The structure of light diquarks plays a crucial role in the formation of exotic hadrons beyond the conventional quark model, especially in their line shapes of bottomed hadron decays. We study the two-body hadronic weak decays of bottomed…
In this paper, we calculate the strong decays of $2^+$ heavy-light states, namely, the charmed $D^*_2(2460)^0$ meson and the charm-strange $D^*_{s2}(2573)^+$ meson. The method we adopt is the reduction formula, PCAC relation and low energy…
We analyse the consequences of the usual assumption of a constant function to fit non-resonant decays from experimental Dalitz plot describing charmed meson decays. We first show, using the $D^+\to \bar{K}^0\pi^+\pi^0$ decay channel as an…
We propose for the first time a method to perform analysis of time-dependent CP asymmetries in charm by using both, correlated and un-correlated $D^0$ mesons. Here we consider the decay channels $D^0\to K^+ K^-$ and $D^0\to \pi^+ \pi^-$.…
The LHCb bounds on the branching ratio of rare decay $D^0 \to \mu^+ \mu^-$ and the constraints on the branching ratio of $D^+ \to \pi^+ \mu^+ \mu^-$ in the nonresonant regions enable us to improve constraints on new physics contributions.…
The existence of doubly heavy flavor baryons has not been well established experimentally so far. In this Letter we systematically investigate the weak decays of the doubly charmed baryons, $\Xi_{cc}^{++}$ and $\Xi_{cc}^{+}$, which would be…
In this proceeding, we give a summary of the new published or preliminary experimental results on charm studies at Belle experiment at KEKB. It mainly includes three parts: (1) $D^0-\bar{D}^0$ mixing and CP violation. Some decay channels…

We review basic phenomenology on $D^0$ mixing/CP violation and recent experimental results on them. $D^0$ mixing is established by combining results from multiple experiments but no CP violation in the charm sector has been seen. $D^0$…
In this work, we propose to search for the exotic doubly charmed meson $T_{cc}^+$ and its analog $T_{cc\bar{s}}^+$ in $B_c^+$ decays, which provide a good environment for the formation of the exotic state containing double charm quarks.…
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…
We study radiative charm decays $D \to P_1 P_2 \gamma$, $P_{1,2}=\pi,K$ in QCD factorization at leading order and within heavy hadron chiral perturbation theory. Branching ratios including resonance contributions are around $\sim 10^{-3}$…
Using effective Lagrangians constrained by the heavy quark spin symmetry and chiral symmetry, for the light quarks, we analyze the $D^0 D^0\pi^+$, $\bar{D}^0D^0\pi^0$ and $D^0\bar{D}^{*0}$ invariant mass spectra. Performing a simultaneous…
A resonance search has been made in the D^*+/- p^-/+ invariant-mass spectrum with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 126 pb^-1. The decay channels D^*+ -> D^0 pi^+_s -> (K^- pi^+) pi^+_s and D^*+ -> D^0 pi^+_s ->…
The $b$ and the $c$ quark compete with each other in decays of the $B_c$-meson. We emphasize the need of obtaining reliable signals of $c \to s$ in order to assess the merits of the spectator approximation in calculating the relative…
