Improved $B$ meson decay data have permitted more incisive tests of factorization predictions. A concurrent benefit is the ability to constrain the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element $|V_{cb}|$. Using a simultaneous fit to…
We present the first perturbative QCD calculations of the $\Xi_b \to (\Lambda, \Sigma)$ transition form factors at leading order in $\alpha_s$, which govern the Cabibbo-suppressed semileptonic decays $\Xi_b \to (\Lambda, \Sigma)\ell…
We present here three analyses of semileptonic $D$-meson decays based on the 2.92 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected by the BESIII experiment in 2010 and 2011 at the $\psi$(3770) peak. For the decay $D^{+}\to K^{-}\pi^{+}e^{+}\nu_{e}$, its…
We present a model for the decay D+ --> K- pi+ pi+. The weak interaction part of this reaction is described using the effective weak Hamiltonian in the factorisation approach. Hadronic final state interactions are taken into account through…
We apply the infinite mass effective theory, when a heavy quark mass tends to infinity, and Chiral perturbation theory at the quark level, based on the extended Nambu -- Jona -- Lasinio model with linear realization of chiral $U(3)\times…
The decay width of the $D_s^{\ast}$ meson is dominated by the electromagnetic mode $D_s^\ast \to D_s \gamma$, and it is thus the longest-lived charged vector meson. In light of this point, we perform the first QCD LCSRs calculation of…
We consider nonleptonic Cabibbo--allowed $\Lambda_b$ decays in the factorization approximation. We calculate nonleptonic decays of the type $ \Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c P $ and $ \Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c V $ relative to $\bar{B}_d \to D^+ P$…
An updated analysis of the two-body $D\to PP, V\!P$ and $VV$ decays within the framework of the topological diagram approach is performed. A global fit to the Cabibbo-favored (CF) modes in the $V\!P$ sector gives many solutions with…
First observations of the B_s0->D_s*- pi+, B_s0->D_s- rho+ and B_s0->D_s*- rho+ decays are reported together with measurements of their branching fractions: B(B_s0->D_s*- pi+)=(2.4 +0.5-0.4(stat.) +-0.3(syst.) +-0.4(fs))x10^(-3), B(Bs->D_s-…
Decays of the kind $B_s\to D_s^{\pm}K^\mp, D_s^{\ast\pm}K^\mp, ...$ and $B_d\to D^{\pm}\pi^\mp, D^{\ast\pm}\pi^\mp, ...$ allow us to probe $\phi_s+\gamma$ and $\phi_d+\gamma$, respectively, involving the angle $\gamma$ of the unitarity…
Recently, the CMS and ATLAS collaborations have announced the results for $H\rightarrow Z[\rightarrow \ell^{+}\ell^{-}]\gamma$ with $\ell=e$ or $\mu$ \cite{CMS:2022ahq,CMS:2023mku}, where $H\rightarrow Z\gamma$ is a sub-process of…
Inspired by the recent measurements on the $J/{\psi}(1S)$ ${\to}$ $D_{s}{\rho}$, $D_{u}K^{\ast}$ weak decays at BESIII and the potential prospects of the charmonium at the high-luminosity heavy-flavor experiments, we study ${\psi}(1S,2S)$…
This article describes improved measurements by CLEO of the $B^0 \to D_s^+ D^{*-}$ and $B^0 \to D_s^{*+} D^{*-}$ branching fractions, and first evidence for the decay $B^+ \to D_s^{(*)+} \bar{D}^{**0}$, where $\bar{D}^{**0}$ represents the…
We examine in detail the semi-leptonic decay $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c \tau{\bar \nu}_{\tau}$, which may confirm previous hints, from the analogous $B$ decay, of a new physics beyond the standard model. First of all, starting from rather…
We present a measurement of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element $|V_{cb}|$ times the form factor normalization $\mathcal{F}(1)$ using the decay $B^+\to\bar D^{*0}\ell^+\nu_\ell$. This measurement is performed together with a…
Using 2.93~fb$^{-1}$ of data taken at 3.773 GeV with the BESIII detector operated at the BEPCII collider, we study the semileptonic decays $D^+ \to \bar K^0e^+\nu_e$ and $D^+ \to \pi^0 e^+\nu_e$. We measure the absolute decay branching…
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)…
A definite relative phase and amplitude exists between the doubly-Cabibbo-% suppressed amplitude for $D^0 \to \ko M^0$ and the Cabibbo-favored amplitude for $D^0 \to \ok M^0$, where $M^0 = (\pi^0,\eta,\eta')$: $A(D^0 \to \ko M^0) = - \tan^2…
The measurement of the Cabibbo-favored semileptonic decay $\Lambda_c^+\rightarrow \Lambda e^+\nu_e$ is reported using a $4.5~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ data sample of $e^+e^-$ annihilations collected at center-of-mass energies ranging from 4.600~GeV…
