Closing the knowledge gap in semileptonic decays
Florian Herren, Raynette van Tonder
In this work we summarize the current status of measured exclusive semileptonic branching fractions containing charm mesons. We use the available experimental data to evaluate the…
On the simulated kinematic distributions of heavy meson decays
Florian Herren, Raynette van Tonder
Modern measurements in flavour physics rely on accurate simulations of signal and background processes, provided by a wide range of general-purpose and specialised Monte-Carlo even…
Advanced parametrisations for hadronic form factors
Nienke C. Balz, Florian Herren, Bastian Kubis +2
The rich analytic structure of hadronic form factors makes a theoretically consistent yet easily applicable parametrisation cumbersome. Consequently, most parametrisations are limi…
Discovering the in semileptonic decays
M. -L. Du, F. -K. Guo, C. Hanhart +3
The mass and width of the lightest scalar open-charm state listed in the Review of Particle Physics, the , are in puzzling tension with predictions from unitarized…
A model-independent parameterization of decays
Florian Herren, Bastian Kubis, Raynette van Tonder
We introduce a novel parameterization of form factors relying on partial-wave decompositions and series expansions in suitable variables. We bound the expa…
A model independent description of decays
Erik J. Gustafson, Florian Herren, Ruth S. Van de Water +2
We introduce a new parameterization of form factors using a partial-wave expansion and derive bounds on the series coefficients using analyticity and uni…
