2026-07-072026-07-07http://salesiana.dossiersoluciones.com/handle/123456789/46671We review recent experimental results on hadronic decays and lifetimes of hadrons containing b and c quarks. We discuss charm counting and the semileptonic branching fraction in B decays, the color suppressed amplitude in B and D decay, and the search for gluonic penguins in B decay.To appear in the Proceedings of the 1996 Warsaw ICHEP ConferenceHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyHadronic Decays and Lifetimes of B and D Mesonstext
