We propose a method to determine the angle $\gamma=arg(V_{ub})$, using the $B\to D^*V$ ($V=K^*, \rho$) modes. The $D^*$ is considered to decay to $D \pi$. An interference of the $B \to D^{*0}V$ and $B \to \bar {D^{*0}}V$ amplitudes is…

In this paper we study the semileptonic decays of $B_c^+\to D^{(*)}_{(s)}(l^+\nu_l,l^+l^-,\nu\bar\nu)$ (here $l$ stands for $e$, $\mu$, or $\tau$). After evaluating the $B_c^+ \to (D_{(s)},D^*_{(s)})$ transition form factors…
The first measurements of the coherence factor R_{K_S^0K\pi} and the average strong--phase difference \delta^{K_S^0K\pi} in D^0 \to K_S^0 K^\mp\pi^\pm decays are reported. These parameters can be used to improve the determination of the…

We measure the absolute branching fractions of $\Ds$ semileptonic decays where the hadron in the final state is one of $\phi$, $\eta$, $\etap$, $\Ks$, $\Kstar$, and $f_0$, using $2.8 \times 10^5$ $\epm \to \Ds\Dsstar$ decays collected in…
This paper describes a determination of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element $|V_{cb}|$ using the decay $B^0\to D^{*-}\ell^+\nu_\ell$. We perform a combined measurement of this quantity and of the form factors $\rho^2$, $R_1(1)$,…
An amplitude analysis of the Cabibbo-favored decay $D^+ \to K^-\pi^+\pi^+\pi^0$ is performed, using 7.93 $\rm{fb}^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collision data collected with the BESIII detector at the center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV. The branching…
We discuss various tests of the factorization hypothesis making use of the close relationship between semi-leptonic and factorized nonleptonic decay amplitudes. It is pointed out that factorization leads to truely model-independent…
Quantum correlations in $\psi(3770) \to D^0\bar{D}^0$ provide unique access to information about strong phase differences. Precision determination of the CKM phase $\gamma/\phi_3$ via $B \to D K$ decays depends upon constraints on charm…
The flavor-changing neutral current process $b\to s l^+l^-$ is beneficial to testing the standard model and hunting for new physics scenarios. In exclusive decay modes like $B\to K^*(892)l^+l^-$, the S-wave effects may not be negligible and…
