The four decay modes $D^{0}\to\phi\pi^{0}$, $D^{0}\to\phi\eta$, $D^{+}\to\phi\pi^{+}$, and $D^{+}\to\phi K^{+}$ are studied by using a data sample taken at the centre-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s} = 3.773$~GeV~with the BESIII detector,…

The very rare $D^{*}(2007)^0\to\mu^+\mu^-$ decay is searched for by analysing $B^-\to\pi^-\mu^+\mu^-$ decays. The analysis uses a sample of beauty mesons produced in proton-proton collisions collected with the LHCb detector between 2011 and…

We report on the observation of B-> D(*) pi+ pi- pi- pi^o decays. The branching ratios for D*+ and D*o are (1.72+/-0.14+/-0.24)% and (1.80+/-0.24+/-0.27)%, respectively. Each final state has a D* omega pi- component, with branching ratios…

We present improved measurements of the branching fractions of the color-suppressed decays $\bar{B}^0 \to D^{(*)0} h^{0}$ where $h^{0}$ represents a light neutral meson $\pi^{0}$, $\eta$ or $\omega$. The measurements are based on a data…

In this work, we systematically study the radiative decays and magnetic moments of the charmed and bottom vector mesons with chiral perturbation theory up to one-loop level. We present the results in SU(2) and SU(3) cases with the mass…

The radiative decays of $D^*$, $B^*$, and other excited heavy mesons are analyzed in a relativistic quark model for the light degrees of freedom and in the limit of heavy quark spin-flavor symmetry. The analysis of strong decays carried out…

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 D^0 mixing parameter y = Delta Gamma/2 Gamma was determined by measuring the D^0 lifetime separately for the K^-pi^+ decay mode and the K^-K^+ decay mode with 12.4 fb^{-1} of data collected by the BABAR experiment in 2001. Backgrounds…

We construct the effective chiral Lagrangian involving the D--mesons and Goldstone bosons at next-to-leading order taking into account strong as well as electromagnetic interactions. This allows us to disentangle -- to leading order in…

We explored various cases for the branching ratios (BRs) of $B_s\to K^+K^-$, $B_s\to K^0\bar{K}^0$ and $B_d\to \pi^+ \pi^-$ decays. We study the possibility of determining $\gamma $ by using the following the measurements: (a) BRs of…

Measurements of the $R_{D^*}\equiv\mathrm{Br}(B\rightarrow \tau\nu D^*)/\mathrm{Br}(B\rightarrow e\nu D^*)$ parameter remain in tension with the standard model prediction, despite recent results helping to close the gap. The standard model…

We report a preliminary measurement of the CP violating asymmetry in D0->pi+pi- using approximately 215,000 decays reconstructed in about 5.94/fb of CDF data. We use the strong D*+->D0pi+ decay ("D* tag") to identify the flavor of the…
