Using quasipotential approach, we have studied exclusive semileptonic decays of heavy mesons with the account of relativistic effects. Due to more complete relativistic description of the $s$ quark more precise expressions for semileptonic…
We show that the exclusive decay $B\rightarrow K^{\ast}\gamma$ can be related to the semileptonic decay $B\rightarrow\rho e\bar{\nu}$ using heavy-quark symmetry and $SU(3)$ flavor symmetry. A direct measurement of the $q^{2}$-spectrum for…
The rare inclusive decay $\bar{B}\rightarrow X_s\gamma$ is an important probe of physics beyond the standard model. The largest uncertainty on the decay rate and CP asymmetry comes from operators that appear at order $1/m_b$ in the heavy…

We observe the radiative decay $D^{*}_{s0}(2317)^{+} \to D_{s}^{*+} \gamma$ for the first time, with a significance exceeding $10$ standard deviations. The signal is found in the continuum $e^+ e^- \to c\bar{c}$ process with the combined…
We obtain predictions for a number of radiative decays $B_{(s)}\to V\gamma$, $V$ the vector meson, which proceed through the weak-annihilation mechanism. Within the factorization approximation, we take into account the photon emission from…
Radiative decays of the radially excited charmonium resonance, \psi(2S), into \pi\pi, K Kbar and \eta\eta final states have been measured in a sample of 3.96 * 10^6 \psi(2S) events collected by the BES collaboration. The branching ratios…
We consider rare radiative B decays such as B -> K^* gamma or B -> rho gamma in soft-collinear effective theory, and show that the decay amplitudes are factorized to all orders in alpha_s and at leading order in Lambda/m_b.By employing…
We discuss nonperturbative contributions to the inclusive rare $B$ decays $B\to X_s\gamma$ and $B\to X_s\ell^+\ell^-$. We employ an operator product expansion and the heavy quark effective theory to compute the leading corrections to the…
The upper limit of the branching ratio of the rare $\Xi_b^-\rightarrow \Xi^- \gamma$ decay is obtained as $BR(\Xi_b^-\rightarrow \Xi^- \gamma)<1.3\times10^{-4}$ by the LHCb. In the present work we study this decay within the light cone QCD…
We present within the Standard Model the exclusive radiative decays B -> K*/rho gamma and B_(s/d) -> gamma gamma in QCD factorization based on the heavy-quark limit m_b >> Lambda_QCD. For the decays with a vector meson in the final state we…
The three-body decay $B^0(B_s)\to \gamma\nu \bar{\nu}$ can occur via penguin and box diagrams in the standard model (SM). These channels are useful to determine the decay constants $f_B$ ($f_{B_s}$) and $B$ ($B_s$) meson wave function.…
We point out that $R \equiv Br(b\rightarrow d \gamma)/Br(b\rightarrow s \gamma)$ is a sensitive probe of possible violation of CKM unitarity. We compute $R$ in a minimal extension of the Standard Model containing an additional isosinglet…
