We consider the scalar form factor in the weak current matrix element <P K| j_\mu |0>, P =\pi,\eta,\eta'. It obtains the contributions from the scalar meson resonance K^*_0(1430) and from the scalar projection of the vector meson K^*(892)…
We develop a model to study the $D^0 \to K^- \pi^+ \eta$ weak decay, starting with the color favored external emission and Cabibbo favored mode at the quark level. A less favored internal emission decay mode is also studied as a source of…
We describe a new method for extracting weak, CP-violating phase information, with no hadronic uncertainties, from an angular analysis of B -> V_1 V_2 decays, where V_1 and V_2 are vector mesons. The quantity $\sin^2 (2\beta + \gamma)$ can…

We propose a new way for determining the CP violation angle $\gamma$ without any hadronic uncertainty. The suggested method is to use the two triangles formed by the decay amplitudes of $B^\pm\to (D^0,\bar D^0,D_{CP}^0)…
We identify a new spin-flavor entanglement structure in $\Lambda_b\to\Lambda D$ decays, formed by the correlation between the $\Lambda$ spin and the $D$ flavor states ($D=D^0,\overline D^0,D_1,D_2$). The entanglement information is encoded…
A binning scheme is proposed for $D^0 \to K^+\pi^-\pi^-\pi^+ $ phase space that will improve the sensitivity of a $B^- \to DK^-$ analysis to the angle $\gamma$ of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa Unitarity Triangle. The scheme makes use of…
The decay constant for the vector state of $3S$-level in the heavy $(\bar b c)$-quarkonium is evaluated in the framework of sum rules for the mesonic currents. A scaling relation for the constants of vector quarkonia with different quark…
In the Standard Model, the charged current of the weak interaction is governed by a unitary quark mixing matrix that also leads to CP violation. Measurement of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix elements is essential to searches for…
The $\eta \to \pi^+ \pi^- \pi^0 \gamma$ decay is discussed in the general context of Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT), assuming that the low--energy constants (counter--terms) are saturated by vector-meson resonances. The $\eta \to \pi^+…

More than ten $\Omega_c^0$ weak decay modes have been measured with the branching fractions relative to that of $\Omega^0_c\to\Omega^-\pi^+$. In order to extract the absolute branching fractions, the study of $\Omega^0_c\to\Omega^-\pi^+$ is…
