Semileptonic and nonleptonic decays of the B_c meson are studied in the framework of the relativistic quark model. The heavy quark expansion in inverse powers of the heavy (b,c) quark mass is used to simplify calculations while the light…
To the leading order, the radiative leptonic decays $B_c \to \gamma \ell \bar \nu$ ($ \ell=e, \mu$) are studied carefully. In the study, a non-relativistic constituent quark model and the effective Lagrangian for the heavy flavour decays…
We have studied radiative B meson decays into higher kaonic resonances decaying into a two-body or three-body final state, using a data sample of 21.3 fb$^{-1}$ recorded at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at KEKB. For…
The weak form factor for $B\to K_{1B}$ where $K_{1B}$ is the $^1P_1$ state is calculated in the light-cone sum rules (LCSR). Combining the quark model result for the form factor of $B\to K_{1A}$ with $K_{1A}$ being the $^3P_1$ state, we…
V-spin symmetry ($s \leftrightarrow d$ symmetry) forbids the radiative decay $\Xi_{c2}^{0*} \rightarrow \Xi_{c1}^0 \gamma$ in the SU(3) limit. The quark mass term breaks V-spin symmetry and the leading nonanalytic contribution to the…
The experimental decay branching ratios of mesons like $B_s\to \ell\bar \ell$ and $B_d\to \ell\bar \ell$ ($\ell=e$ or $\mu$) do not agree completely with the standard model (SM). Cartan's supersymmetry predicts relation of the coupling of…
The search for new physics beyond the standard model is proceeding nowadays intensively along experimental and theoretical lines. We review here the sector of charm radiative decays in this context. The calculation of $D\to V\gamma$, $D\to…
The semileptonic decay form factors of the double heavy $B_{c}$ meson provide a unique opportunity to study the strong interactions between two heavy quarks. A fully relativistic model, with effective non-local quark-meson interactions, is…
Using results on soft-collinear factorization for inclusive B-meson decay distributions, a systematic study of the partial B->Xs+gamma decay rate with a cut E_gamma<E_0 on photon energy is performed. For values E_0<1.9 GeV the rate can be…
Form factors of rare (B -> K_0*(1430) l^+ l^-$ decay) decay are calculated within three-point QCD sum rules, with (K_0* (1430)) being the p-wave scalar meson. The branching ratios are estimated when only short, as well as short and long…
Using the most general, model-independent form of effective Hamiltonian, the exclusive, rare $B \rar K^\ast \nu \bar \nu$ decay is analyzed. The sensitivity of the branching ratios and missing mass-squared spectrum to the new Wilson…
We report the observation of the radiative decay B+ --> K1(1270)+ gamma using a data sample of 140 fb-1 taken at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- collider. We find the branching fraction to be Br(B+ -->…
We studied radiative B meson decays with the Belle detector. We measured the following branching fractions; Br(B->K*0(892)\gamma) = (49.6 \pm 6.7 \pm 4.5) x 10^{-6}, Br(B->K*+(892)\gamma) = (38.9 \pm 9.3 \pm 4.1) x 10^{-6}, Br(B->Xs\gamma)…
We provide a model-independent framework for the analysis of the radiative B-meson decays B -> K* gamma and B -> rho gamma. In particular, we give a systematic discussion of the various contributions to these exclusive processes based on…
We study $B\to \phi K$ and $B\to \phi X_s$ decays in the heavy quark limit using perturbative QCD. The next leading order corrections introduce substantial modifications to the naive factorization results (more than 50%). The branching…
We analyze the exclusive two-body nonleptonic decays of $B_s$ meson to ground as well as radially excited $2S$ charmonium state with a light meson $K_s$, induced by the $b\to c\bar{c}d$ transition. Within the framework of relativistic…
We compute the form factors parametrizing radiative leptonic decays of heavy mesons B^+\to\gamma e^+\nu for photon energies much larger than \Lambda_{QCD}, where perturbative QCD methods for exclusive processes can be combined with the…
The radiative decays D^0 -> K^0(bar) P^0 gamma with nonresonant K^0(bar) P^0 (P^0 = pi^0, eta, eta') are considered within the framework which combines heavy quark effective theory and the chiral Lagrangian. Due to neutral mesons the…
