Two body decays of charm mesons are studied by describing their amplitude in terms of a sum of factorizable and non-factorizable ones. The former is estimated by using a naive factorization while the latter is calculated by using a hard…
Fermilab experiment E791 studied weak decays of D+, D_s, and D^0 mesons produced in collisions of 500 GeV/c negative pions with Pt and C targets. The experiment collected over 200,000 fully reconstructed charm decays. Four recent results…

We present results from Fermilab experiment E791. We extracted the fractions of resonant components in the $\Lambda_c^+\to p K^- \pi^+$ decays, and found a significant polarization of the $\Lambda_c^+$ using a fully 5-dimensional resonant…
We investigate the in-medium masses of the pseudoscalar $(D,{\bar D},D_s^{\pm})$, and vector $(D^*,\bar{D}^*, D_s^{*\pm})$, open charm mesons in isospin asymmetric magnetized nuclear matter, accounting for the effects of Dirac sea. The…

We evaluate the decay branching ratios of $\chi_{c1}\to PS$, in a quark model parametrization scheme, where $P$ and $S$ stand for pseudoscalar and scalar meson, respectively. An interesting feature of this decay process is that the…
Following the experimental results from LHCb on the rare decay $B^+_c \to K^-K^+\pi^+$, we investigate the possibility where this process is dominated by a double charm rescattering. The $B_c$ decay to double charm channels have a weak…
