We point out that in decays of the type $B^- \to D^* K^-$, where the neutral $D^*$ meson is an admixture of $D^{*0}$ and $\bar{D}^{*0}$, there is an effective strong phase difference of $\pi$ between the cases that the $D^*$ is…

Effective chiral theory of mesons is applied to study the four decay modes of $\tau\to\rho\pi\pi\nu$. Theoretical values of the branching ratios are in agreement with the data. The theory predicts that the $a_{1}$ resonance plays a dominant…

The $\overline{B_s^0} \rightarrow \chi_{c2} K^+ K^- $ decay mode is observed and its branching fraction relative to the corresponding $\chi_{c1}$ decay mode, in a $\pm 15 \textrm{MeV}/c^2$ window around the $\phi$ mass, is found to be…

We present measurements of the branching fractions for the $J/\psi$ meson decays into the $\rho\eta$ and $\phi\eta$ final states, based on data collected with the KEDR detector at the VEPP-4M collider. The data set consisted of 4.93 million…

The first observation of the $\Xi_b^0 \to J/\psi \Xi^- \pi^+$ decay and the most precise measurement of the branching fraction of the $\Lambda_b^0 \to J/\psi \Xi^- K^+$ decay are reported, using proton-proton collision data from the LHCb…

In the SND experiment at VEPP-2M $e^+e^-$ collider the $\phi(1020)\to\pi^0\pi^0\gamma$ decay was studied and its branching ratio was measured: $B(\phi\to\pi^0\pi^0\gamma)=(1.221\pm 0.098\pm0.061)\cdot10^{-4}$. It was shown, that…

This paper reviews the Dalitz plot analysis for the decays $B^0(\bar B^0) \to \rho \pi \to \pi^+ \pi^- \pi^0$. We discuss what can be learned about the ten parameters in this analysis from untagged and from tagged time-integrated data. We…

A study of $B^0$~and $B^0_s$ meson decays into $J/\psi\eta$~and $J/\psi\eta^{\prime}$ final states is performed using a data set of proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8TeV, collected by the LHCb experiment and…

The current knowledge on the $D_{s}^{\ast}$ meson are very limited. Besides the dominant electromagnetic decays, the $D_{s}^{\ast}$ weak decays are legal and offer the valuable opportunities to explore the wanted $D_{s}^{\ast}$ meson. In…

We produce the simple formula for the radius R of a cold body of mass M, (4 pi rho/3)^{1/3} R = I.M^{1/3} / [1+ (M/Mp)^{2/3}], where I is one for white dwarfs with non-relativistic electrons, but depends on the ratio of the total mass to…

We generalize the Cottingham formula at finite (T\neq 0) temperature by using the imaginary time formalism. The Cottingham formula gives the theoretical framework to compute the electromagnetic mass differences of the hadrons using a…

Using 15.1^{-1} of data collected by CMD-2 in the $\phi$-meson energy range, the branching ratio of the conversion decay $\phi\to\pi^0e^+e^-$ has been measured for the first time: B(\phi\to\pi^0e^+e^-) = (1.22 \pm 0.34 \pm 0.21) \cdot 10…

Existing predictions for the branching ratio for $\phi\rightarrow K\bar{K}\gamma$ {\it via} $\phi\rightarrow S\gamma$ (where $S$ denotes one of the scalar mesons $f_0$(975) and $a_0$(980)) vary by several orders of magnitude. Given the…

We study the quark-mass dependence of $\omega\to3\pi$ decays, based on a dispersion-theoretical framework. We rely on the quark-mass-dependent scattering phase shift for the pion-pion $P$-wave extracted from unitarized chiral perturbation…

Although there are some experimental hints for the higher excited $\rho$ mesons, our knowledge of their properties is much poor theoretically. Based on our recent work about excited $\rho$ mesons [Phys.Rev.D104(2021)034013], we present the…
