Cabibbo-favoured decays of charm mesons to pseudoscalar and axial-vector mesons
In this paper we study weak decays of D and Ds mesons emitting pseudoscalar and axial-vector mesons in the ISGW (Isgur-Scora-Grinstein-Wise) quark model using a factorization scheme. Branching ratios for the Cabibbo-angle-favoured decays are calculated. Like the BSW model, here also the calculated branching ratios are smaller than the observed values by a factor of 2-5. We discuss the missing physics that may bridge the gap between theory and experiment.

Preliminary estimate of branching ratios of weak hadronic decays of bottom baryons emitting charmless scalar mesons
We give the first estimate of charmless scalar-meson emitting weak hadronic decays of $\varLambda _{b}^{0}$, $\varXi _{b}^{0}$ and $\varXi _{b}^{ -}$ bottom baryons employing the pole model and consequently predict their branching ratios.

Lepton textures and neutrino oscillations
A systematic analysis of the textures arising in lepton mass matrices have been carried out using unitary transformations and condition of naturalness for the Dirac and Majorana neutrino possibilities. It is observed that the recent three neutrino oscillation data together with the effective mass in neutrinoless double beta decay provide vital clues in predicting the general structures of these lepton mass matrices.

Minimal weak basis textures and quark mixing data
The phenomenology of the most general quark mass matrices with a minimum of three texture zeros obtained through weak basis (WB) transformations has been discussed within the framework of the standard model. The relationship between the textures, naturalness and WB transformations has also been studied. Adopting a ?hierarchical? parameterization for the quark mass matrix, we have detailed exact relations for the various elements of the quark mixing matrix along with the CP asymmetry angle ?, illustrating the?explicit relationship between the observed hierarchies among the WB quark mass matrices and the quark mixing matrix. Besides exploring the complete parameter space available to the (Mq)11, (q = u, d) elements in these mass matrices, their implications for quark mixing data and CP violation asymmetries have also been explored.

Implications of CP asymmetry parameter sin2β on structural features of texture specific mass matrices
Abstract In the context of Fritzsch-like texture 4 zero Hermitian quark mass matrices, we have attempted to find an ‘exact’ formula for sin 2 β wherein the dependence of β on the quark masses and the elements of the quark mass matrices is visible in a simple and clear manner. This has been achieved keeping in mind the strong hierarchy of the quark masses and assuming the weak hierarchy amongst the elements of the mass matrices. This ‘exact’ formula represents a vast improvement over the leading order formula based on strong hierarchy of the elements of the mass matrices. Apart from showing the compatibility of texture 4 zero mass matrices with the present value of sin 2 β and other CKM parameters, we find interesting conclusions regarding the structural features of the mass matrices.

INVESTIGATING NON-FRITZSCH-LIKE TEXTURE SPECIFIC QUARK MASS MATRICES
A detailed investigation of all possible textures of Fritzsch-like and non-Fritzsch-like, 144 for texture 6 zero and 432 for texture 5 zero mass matrices, have been carried out to ascertain their compatibility with the existing quark mixing data. It seems that all the texture 6 zero possibilities are completely ruled out whereas in the case of texture 5 zero mass matrices the only viable possibility looks to be that of Fritzsch-like.

Texture specific mass matrices with Dirac neutrinos and their implications
Considering Dirac neutrinos and Fritzsch-like texture six zero and five zero mass matrices, detailed predictions for cases pertaining to normal/inverted hierarchy as well as degenerate scenario of neutrino masses have been carried out. All the cases considered here pertaining to inverted hierarchy and degenerate scenario of neutrino masses are ruled out by the existing data. For the normal hierarchy cases, the lower limit of m{sub {nu}{sub 1}} and of s{sub 13} as well as the range of Dirac-like CP violating phase {delta}{sub l} would have implications for the texture specific cases considered here.
