We present a study in the quenched approximation of the $B$ parameter $B_B$ and the decay constant $f_B$ using heavy-quark propagators implemented in the static approximation, and light-quark propagators computed using an $O(a)$-improved…

Based on a new, exact QCD factorization formula for the partial B->X_s+gamma decay rate with a restriction on large photon energy, improved predictions are presented for the partial moments <E_gamma> and <E_gamma^2>-<E_gamma>^2 of the…

Several years ago, it was pointed out that the U-spin-related decays $B_d\to\pi^+\pi^-$, $B_s\to K^+K^-$ and $B_d\to\pi^\mp K^\pm$, $B_s\to \pi^\pm K^\mp$ offer interesting strategies for the extraction of the angle gamma of the unitarity…

We calculate the O(alpha_s) corrections to the double differential decay width dGamma_{77}/(ds_1 ds_2) for the process B -> X_s gamma gamma originating from diagrams involving the electromagnetic dipole operator O_7. The kinematical…

The total $\tau$ hadronic width can be accurately calculated using analyticity and the operator product expansion. The theoretical analysis of this observable is updated to include all available perturbative and non-perturbative…

We consider in detail various theoretical uncertainties of the perturbative predictions for the decay width of $H^0\rightarrow b\overline{b}$ process in the region $50\ GeV< M_H\leq 2M_W$. We calculate the order…

The partial decay rate $\Gamma(Z\to b\bar{b})$ is significantly influenced by the mass of the top quark due to electroweak radiative corrections. The leading $\sim m_t^2$ and the next-to-leading contribution $\sim \ln m_t^2$ are known to be…

From an analysis of the decay Bs -> J/psi phi we obtain the width difference between the light and heavy mass eigenstates, and the CP-violating phase.

The B_{s} --> \phi\psi decay is modeled through the inclusive b --> s\psi decay. Using the Vector Meson Dominance model, the amplitude for the chain process B_{s} --> \phi\psi --> \phi\gamma --> \gamma\gamma is estimated and it is found to…

We compute for the first time the long-distance penguin contribution to the double radiative $B$-meson decays due to the purely hadronic operators acting with the electromagnetic current in the background soft-gluon field from first…

I summarize the observables constraining the B_s-B_s-bar mixing complex and present a new calculation of the element Gamma_{12}^s of the decay matrix. Gamma_{12}^s enters the prediction of the width difference Delta Gamma_s, for which we…

B-hadron physics plays a fundamental role to test and improve our understanding of flavor dynamics within and beyond the Standard Model. Of particular phenomenological interest are beauty hadron lifetime ratios and, width differences and…

We investigate the leading power corrections to the decay rates and distributions in the decay $B \rightarrow X_s \ell^+ \ell^- $ in the standard model (SM) using heavy quark expansion (HQE) in $(1/m_b)$ and a phenomenological model…

We present a calculation of subleading 1/m_b corrections to spectator effects in the ratios of beauty hadron lifetimes in heavy-quark expansion. We find that these effects are sizable and should be taken into account in systematic analyses…

We present an evaluation of heavy quarkonium states (bottomium and charmonium) from first principles. We use tree-level QCD (including relativistic corrections) and the full one-loop potential; nonperturbative effects are taken into account…

We consider the constraint of $B_s-\bar{B}_s$ mass difference, $\Delta m_s$, on an MSSM scenario with large flavor mixing. Even with this constraint, we show that a large deviation from the SM in CP asymmetries of $B_s \to KK$ decays is…

In this paper, we investigate the $R^2$ corrections to the dissociation of heavy quarkonium in the Gauss-Bonnet gravitational background. We analyze the impact of Gauss-Bonnet parameter $\lambda_{GB}$ on the spectral function of charmonium…

The two neutral kaon states in nature, the $K_L$ (long-lived) and $K_S$ (short-lived) mesons, are the two time-evolution eigenstates of the $K^0 - \overline{K^0}$ mixing system. The prediction of their mass difference $\Delta m_K$ based on…

We study three sources of error in our calculation of $B_K$ using HYP-smeared staggered fermions on the MILC asqtad lattices. These are (1) dependence on the light sea quark mass; (2) finite volume effects; and (3) the impact of an order of…

Observables in the $D^0-\bar{D}^0$ mixing can be theoretically analyzed by the operator product expansion (OPE), in which $1/m_c$ is regarded as an expansion parameter. Since the contributions of four-quark operators are strongly suppressed…
