The measurement of $B_s$-meson branching fractions is a fundamental tool to probe physics beyond the Standard Model. Every measurement of untagged time-integrated $B_s$-meson branching fractions is model-dependent due to the time dependence of the experimental efficiency and the large lifetime difference between the two $B_s$ mass eigenstates. In recent measurements, this effect is bundled in the systematics. We reappraise the potential numerical impact of this effect -- we find it to be close to 10% in real-life examples where new physics is a correction to dominantly Standard-Model dynamics. We therefore suggest that this model dependence be made explicit, i.e. that $B_s$ branching-fraction measurements be presented in a two-dimensional plane with the parameter that encodes the model dependence. We show that ignoring this effect can lead to over-constraining the couplings of new-physics models. In particular, we note that the effect also applies when setting upper limits on non-observed $B_s$ decay modes, such as those forbidden within the Standard Model.

We propose a practical effective model by introducing temperature ($T$) dependence to the coupling strengths of four-quark and six-quark Kobayashi-Maskawa-t Hooft interactions in the 2+1 flavor Polyakov-loop extended Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. The $T$
dependence is determined from LQCD data on the renormalized chiral condensate around the pseudocritical temperature $T_c^{chi}$ of chiral crossover and the screening-mass difference between $pi$ and $a_0$ mesons in $T > 1.1T_c^chi$ where only the $U(1)_{rm A}$-symmetry breaking survives. The model well reproduces LQCD data on screening masses $M_{xi}^{rm scr}(T)$ for both scalar and pseudoscalar mesons, particularly in $T ge T_c^{chi}$. Using this effective model, we predict meson pole masses $M_{xi}^{rm pole}(T)$ for scalar and pseudoscalar mesons. For $eta$ meson, the prediction is consistent with the experimental value at finite $T$ measured in heavy-ion collisions. We point out that the relation $M_{xi}^{rm scr}(T)-M_{xi}^{rm pole}(T) approx M_{xi}^{rm scr}(T)-M_{xi}^{rm pole}(T)$ is pretty good when $xi$ and $xi$ are scalar mesons, and show that the relation $M_{xi}^{rm scr}(T)/M_{xi}^{rm scr}(T) approx M_{xi}^{rm pole}(T)/M_{xi}^{rm pole}(T)$ is well satisfied within 20% error when $xi$ and $xi$ are pseudoscalar mesons and also when $xi$ and $xi$ are scalar mesons.
The branching fractions of D_s meson decays serve to normalize many measurements of processes involving charm quarks. Using 298 /pb of e+ e- collisions recorded at a center of mass energy of 4.17 GeV, we determine absolute branching fractions for eig
ht D_s decays with a double tag technique. In particular we determine the branching fraction B(D_s -> K- K+ pi+) = (5.50 +- 0.23 +- 0.16)%, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic respectively. We also provide partial branching fractions for kinematic subsets of the K- K+ pi+ decay mode.
The branching fractions of Ds meson decays serve to normalize many measurements of processes involving charm quarks. Using 586 pb^-1 of e+ e- collisions recorded at a center of mass energy of 4.17 GeV, we determine absolute branching fractions for 13
Ds decays in 16 reconstructed final states with a double tag technique. In particular we make a precise measurement of the branching fraction B(Ds -> K- K+ pi+) = (5.55 +- 0.14 +- 0.13)%, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic respectively. We find a significantly reduced value of B(Ds -> pi+ pi0 eta) compared to the world average, and our results bring the inclusively and exclusively measured values of B(Ds -> eta X)$ into agreement. We also search for CP-violating asymmetries in Ds decays and measure the cross-section of e+ e- -> Ds* Ds at Ecm = 4.17 GeV.
This work summarizes the current status of the measured semileptonic branching fractions $B^{0,+} to X_c mu u$. The sum of exclusive measurements is compared with the inclusive determination, accounting for isospin extrapolation. Further derived quan
tities are computed, taking into account different explanations for the unmeasured components of the total branching fraction. These quantities focus on the charge breakdown of the final states, and are designed for use as inputs or comparisons in future experimental measurements.
The four decay modes $D^{0}tophipi^{0}$, $D^{0}tophieta$, $D^{+}tophipi^{+}$, and $D^{+}tophi K^{+}$ are studied by using a data sample taken at the centre-of-mass energy $sqrt{s} = 3.773$~GeV~with the BESIII detector, corresponding to an integrated
luminosity of 2.93 fb$^{-1}$. The branching fractions of the first three decay modes are measured to be ${cal B}(D^{0}tophipi^{0})=(1.168pm0.028pm0.028)times10^{-3}$, ${cal B}(D^{0}tophieta)=(1.81pm0.46pm0.06)times10^{-4}$, and ${cal B}(D^{+}tophipi^{+})=(5.70pm0.05pm0.13)times10^{-3}$, respectively, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. No significant signal is observed of the decay $D^+tophi{K^+}$ and the upper limit of its branching fraction is set for the first time, to be $2.1times10^{-5}$ at the $90%$ confidence level. The ratio of ${cal B}(D^0tophipi^0)$ to $cal B(D^+tophipi^+)$ is calculated to be $(20.49pm0.50pm0.45)%$, which is consistent with the theoretical prediction based on isospin symmetry between these two decay modes.
