Weak decays and mixing of B-hadrons play a special role in our understanding of the physics of the Standard Model and beyond. The measured amplitudes, however, result from a complicated interplay of weak and strong interaction effects.…

Parity nonconservation in the beta-decay processes is considered as fundamental property of weak interactions. Nevertheless, this property can be treated as anomaly, because in fundamental interactions of the rest types parity is conserved.…
We evaluate external $W$-emission, internal $W$-emission and $W$-exchange contributions to nonleptonic $B\to D^{(*)}$ decays based on the perturbative QCD formalism including Sudakov effects, whose ratio is found to be $1:+0.2:0.03i$ at the…
We investigate the exchange effect between the final atom's bound electrons and those emitted in the allowed $\beta$-decay of the initial nucleus. The electron wave functions are obtained with the Dirac-Hartree-Fock-Slater self-consistent…

The role of $W$-exchange diagrams in baryonic $B$ decays is poorly understood, and often taken as insignificant and neglected. We show that charmful two-body baryonic $B\to {\bf B}_c \bar {\bf B}'$ decays provide a good test-bed for the…
Nonmesonic decays of $\Lambda$ in nuclear medium and light hypernuclei are studied by using the $\Lambda N \to NN$ weak transition potential derived from the meson exchange mechanism and the direct quark mechanism. The long range part of…

We study the weak equivalence principle in the context of modified dispersion relations, a prevalent approach to quantum gravity phenomenology. We find that generic modified dispersion relations violate the weak equivalence principle. The…
