Recently, the standard model predictions for the $B$-meson hadronic decays, $bar{B}^0 to D^{(ast)+}K^-$ and $bar{B}^0_s to D^{(ast)+}_s pi^-$, have been updated based on the QCD factorization approach. This improvement sheds light on a novel puzzle in the $B$-meson hadronic decays: there are mild but universal tensions between data and the predicted branching ratios. Assuming the higher-order QCD corrections are not huge enough to solve the tension, we examine several new physics interpretations of this puzzle. We find that the tension can be partially explained by a left-handed $W^prime$ model, which can be compatible with other flavor observables and collider bounds.

We provide updated predictions for the hadronic decays $bar{B}_s^0to D_s^{(*)+} pi^-$ and $bar{B}^0to D^{(*)+} K^-$. They are based on $mathcal{O}(alpha_s^2)$ results for the QCD factorization amplitudes at leading power and on recent results for the $bar{B}_{(s)} to D_{(s)}^{(*)}$ form factors up to order ${cal O}(Lambda_{rm QCD}^2/m_c^2)$ in the heavy-quark expansion. We give quantitative estimates of the matrix elements entering the hadronic decay amplitudes at order ${cal O}(Lambda_{rm QCD}/m_b)$ for the first time. Our results are very precise, and uncover a substantial discrepancy between the theory predictions and the experimental measurements. We explore two possibilities for this discrepancy: non-factorizable contributions larger than predicted by the QCD factorization power counting, and contributions beyond the Standard Model. We determine the $f_s/f_d$ fragmentation fraction for the CDF, D0 and LHCb experiments for both scenarios.
In this paper we investigate CP violation in charged decays of $D$ meson. Particularly, we study the direct CP asymmetry of the Cabibbo favored non-leptonic $D^+ rightarrow bar K^0 pi^+$ and the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decay mode $D^+ rightarrow K^ 0 pi^+$ within standard model, two Higgs doublet model with generic Yukawa structure and left right symmetric models. In the standard model, we first derive the contributions from box and di-penguin diagrams contributing to their amplitudes which are relevant to the generation of the weak phases essential for non-vanishing direct CP violation. Then, we show that these phases are so tiny leading to a direct CP asymmetry of order $10^{-11}$ in both decay modes. Regarding the two Higgs doublet model with generic Yukawa structure and after taking into account all constraints on the parameter space of the model, we show that the enhanced direct CP asymmetries can be 6 and 7 orders of magnitudes larger than the standard model prediction for $D^+ rightarrow bar K^0 pi^+$ and $D^+ rightarrow K^0 pi^+$ respectively. Finally, within left right symmetric models, we find that sizable direct CP asymmetry of ${mathcal O } (10^{-3})$ can be obtained for the decay mode $D^+ rightarrow bar K^0 pi^+$ after respecting all relevant constraints.
A binned Dalitz plot analysis of the decays $B^0 to D K^{ast 0}$, with $D to K_{S}^{0} pi^{+} pi^{-}$ and $K_{S}^{0} K^{+} K^{-}$, is performed to measure the observables $x_pm$ and $y_pm$, which are related to the CKM angle $gamma$ and the hadronic parameters of the decays. The $D$ decay strong phase variation over the Dalitz plot is taken from measurements performed at the CLEO-c experiment, making the analysis independent of the $D$ decay model. With a sample of proton-proton collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3.0,rm{fb}^{-1}$, collected by the LHCb experiment, the values of the $CP$ violation parameters are found to be $x_+ = 0.05 pm 0.35 pm 0.02$, $x_-=-0.31pm 0.20 pm 0.04$, $y_+=-0.81pm 0.28pm 0.06$ and $y_-=0.31pm 0.21 pm 0.05$, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. These observables correspond to values $gamma$ = $(71 pm 20)^circ$, $r_{B^0} = 0.56pm 0.17$ and $delta_{B^0} = (204,^{+21}_{-20})^circ$. The parameters $r_{B^0}$ and $delta_{B^0}$ are the magnitude ratio and strong phase difference between the suppressed and favoured $B^0$ decay amplitudes, and have been measured in a region of $pm 50$ MeV/$c^2$ around the $K^{ast}(892)^{0}$ mass and with the magnitude of the cosine of the $K^{ast}(892)^{0}$ helicity angle larger than 0.4.
In this work, we analyze the semi-leptonic decays $bar B^0/D^0 to (a_0(980)^{pm}topi^{pm}eta) l^{mp} u$ within light-cone sum rules. The two and three-body light-cone distribution amplitudes (LCDAs) of the $B$ meson and the only available two-body L CDA of the $D$ meson are used. To include the finite-width effect of the $a_0(980)$, we use a scalar form factor to describe the final-state interaction between the $pieta$ mesons, which was previously calculated within unitarized Chiral Perturbation Theory. The result for the decay branching fraction of the $D^0$ decay is in good agreement with that measured by the BESIII Collaboration, while the branching fraction of the $bar B^0$ decay can be tested in future experiments.
We provide a comprehensive, up-to-date analysis of possible New Physics contributions to the mass difference $Delta M_D$ in $D^0$-${bar D}^0$ mixing. We consider the most general low energy effective Hamiltonian and include leading order QCD running of effective operators. We then explore an extensive list of possible New Physics models that can generate these operators, which we organize as including Extra Fermions, Extra Gauge Bosons, Extra Scalars, Extra Space Dimensions and Extra Symmetries. For each model we place restrictions on the allowed parameter space using the recent evidence for observation of $D$ meson mixing. In many scenarios, we find strong constraints that surpass those from other search techniques and provide an important test of flavor changing neutral currents in the up-quark sector. We also review the recent BaBar and Belle findings, and describe the current status of the Standard Model predictions of $D^0$-${bar D}^0$ mixing.
