Stimulated by the exciting progress in experiments, we carry out a combined analysis of the masses, and strong and radiative decay properties of the $B$ and $B_s$-meson states up to the second orbital excitations. Based on our good descriptions of the mass and decay properties for the low-lying well-established states $B_1(5721)$, $B_2^*(5747)$, $B_{s1}(5830)$ and $B_{s2}^*(5840)$, we give a quark model classification for the high mass resonances observed in recent years. It is found that (i) the $B_{J}(5840)$ resonance may be explained as the low mass mixed state $B(|SDrangle_L)$ via $2^3S_1$-$1^3D_1$ mixing, or the pure $B(2^3S_1)$ state, or $B(2^1S_0)$. (ii) The $B_J(5970)$ resonance may be assigned as the $1^3D_3$ state in the $B$ meson family, although it as a pure $2^3S_1$ state cannot be excluded. (iii) The narrow structure around 6064 MeV observed in the $B^+K^-$ mass spectrum at LHCb may be mainly caused by the $B_{sJ}(6109)$ resonance decaying into $B^{*+}K^-$, and favors the assignment of the high mass $1D$-wave mixed state $B_s(1D_2)$ with $J^P=2^-$, although it as the $1^3D_3$ state cannot be excluded. (iv) The relatively broader $B_{sJ}(6114)$ structure observed at LHCb may be explained with the mixed state $B_s(|SDrangle_H)$ via $2^3S_1$-$1^3D_1$ mixing, or a pure $1^3D_1$ state. Most of the missing $1P$-, $1D$-, and $2S$-wave $B$- and $B_s$-meson states have a relatively narrow width, they are most likely to be observed in their dominant decay channels with a larger data sample at LHCb.
Some fine differences between the twin $b$-flavored unitarity triangles are calculated by means of a generalized Wolfenstein parametrization of the CKM matrix, and a possibility of experimentally establishing the second triangle is briefly discussed.
Rare semileptonic $b to s ell^+ ell^-$ transitions provide some of the most promising frameworks to search for new physics effects. Recent analyses of these decays have indicated an anomalous behaviour in measurements of angular distributions of the
We consider two-loop QCD corrections to the element $Gamma_{12}^q$ of the decay matrix in $B_q-bar{B}_q$ mixing, $q=d,s$, in the leading power of the Heavy Quark Expansion. The calculated contributions involve one current-current and one penguin oper
We investigate the possibility of indirectly constraining the $B^{+}to K^{+}tau^+tau^-$ decay rate using precise data on the $B^{+}to K^{+}mu^+mu^-$ dimuon spectrum. To this end, we estimate the distortion of the spectrum induced by the $B^{+}to K^{+
One of the fundamental predictions of the Standard Model is Lepton Flavour Universality. Any deviation from this prediction would indicate the existence of physics beyond the Standard Model. Recent LHCb measurements present a pattern of deviations fr
