The modified perturbative approach in which transverse degrees of freedom as well as Sudakov suppressions are taken into account, is applied to $B$ decays into two $\pi$ mesons. The influence of various model parameters (CKM matrix…
We present the results of a nonrelativistic constituent quark model study of the semileptonic decays $\Lambda_b^0 \to \Lambda_c^+ l^- {\bar \nu}_l$ and $\Xi_b^0 \to \Xi_c^+ l^- {\bar \nu}_l$. We work on coordinate space, with baryon wave…
The ${\Upsilon}(nS)$ ${\to}$ $B_{c}^{\ast}D$ weak decays ($n$ $=$ $1$, $2$, $3$) are investigated with perturbative QCD approach. It is found that the CKM-favored ${\Upsilon}(nS)$ ${\to}$ $B_{c}^{\ast}D_{s}$ decays have branching ratio of…
We estimate the $\Upsilon$, $\eta_b$ and $B^*$ meson mass shifts in symmetric nuclear matter. The interest is, whether the strengths of the bottomonium-(nuclear matter) and charmonium-(nuclear matter) interactions are similar or different.…
A brief review of the current state of observed deviations of theoretical predictions from experimental data in semileptonic decays of $B$ and $B_c$ mesons is given. A theoretical analysis of these decays is carried out, taking into account…
During the last years, the ALPHA collaboration has been developing and implementing a method based on Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET) to compute B-mesons observables through lattice simulations. Thanks to a non-perturbative matching to…
We give a systematic way to compute higher orders in the 1/m_b expansion in inclusive semi-leptonic decays at tree level. We reproduce the known 1/m_b^3 terms and compute the 1/m_b^4 terms at tree level. The appearing non-perturbative…
We present the lattice QCD calculation of inclusive semileptonic $B_s$-meson decays. We follow a recently proposed method, which is based on the extraction of smeared spectral densities from Euclidean correlation functions and on the…
The first complete calculation of the quadratic quark mass correction to the correlator of the two currents relevant for the strangeness-changing semihadronic tau-decay rate is presented including its real part at the four-loop level. This…
Utilizing the approach recently proposed for the inclusive semi-leptonic decay rate on the lattice, we compute the differential decay rate of a $B_s$ meson for various kinematical channels. The results are compared with the contributions…
Our Vcb extraction is based on recent Belle results, with unfolded kinematical dependence. We use two different parameterizations of the form factors, the CLN and BGL parameterizations. We discuss how the known discrepancy between the…
We investigate the semileptonic and nonleptonic decays of $B_s$ mesons. We work within the context of nonrelativistic constituent quark models. We calculate the different form factors that parameterize the hadron matrix elements.
We discuss recent higher order calculations to properties of $B$ mesons. This includes next-to-next-to-leading order corrections to nonleptonic and next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order corrections to semileptonic $B$ meson decays. The…
Nonperturbative QCD contributions to the inclusive semileptonic decay of the B meson consist of the dynamic and kinematic components. We calculate the decay width in an approach based on the light-cone expansion and the heavy quark…
We investigate relativistic corrections of order $1/m^{2}$, where $m$ is the constituent quark mass, to heavy baryon decays by emitting one pseudoscalar meson in the quark model. This work is motivated by shortcomings in the previous…
Upsilon (1S) decay to Xi_cc +anything is studied. It is shown that the branching ratio can be as significant as that of Upsilon (1S) decay to J/Psi +anything. The non-relativistic heavy quark effective theory framework is employed for the…
We study exclusive nonleptonic and semileptonic decays of the Bc-meson within a relativistic constituent quark model previously developed by us. For the nonleptonic decays we use the factorizing approximation. We update our model parameters…
For the determination of the Cabbibo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element $|V_{cb}|$ from inclusive data a precise knowledge of the semileptonic $b \to c$ decay rate is necessary. Since this observable has a bad convergence behavior when the…
The calculation of the partial width of the rare t-quark decay into Upsilon-meson, W-boson and b-quark (t -> \Upsilon W b) is presented. The branching ratio equals Br(t -> Upsilon W b) = 1.3 * 10^{-5} that make possible searches for this…
Following a strategy introduced earlier by the authors, we show that it is possible to extract |V_{ub}| from the cut hadronic mass spectrum of B decays without large systematic errors which usually arise from having to model the Fermi…
