We study the baryonic charmonium decays of $B$ mesons, $B^+ \to \eta_c K^+$ and $B^+ \to J/\psi K^+$, where $\eta_c$ and $J/\psi$ subsequently decay into a $p\bar p$ or $\Lambda\bar\Lambda$ pair. The charmonium produced in the above $B$…

Motivated by recent LHCb measurements of CP violation in $\Lambda_b$ three-body decays, we conduct an analysis of CP asymmetry in three-body decays of bottom baryons utilizing U-spin symmetry. We first develop a convenient representation…

The reactions $\Sigma_b^* \to \Lambda_b \pi$, $\Sigma_b \to \Lambda_b \pi$, and $\Xi_b^* \to \Xi_b \pi$ are studied in the $^3P_0$ non-relativistic quark model with all the model parameters fixed in the sector of light quarks. The…

Based on 10 billion $J/\psi$ events collected at the BESIII experiment, a search for $CP$ violation in $\Lambda$ decay is performed in the difference between $CP$-odd decay parameters $\alpha_{-}$ for $\Lambda \rightarrow p\pi^-$ and…

Radiative decays of polarized Lambda_b baryons represent an attractive possibility to measure the helicity of the photon emitted in the b --> s gamma quark transition and thus to subject the Standard Model to a stringent test at existing…

We report the observation of the decay $B^{\pm} \to \phi \phi K^{\pm}$ and find evidence for $B^{0} \to \phi \phi K^{0}$. These results are based on a 414 fb$^{-1}$ data sample that contains $449 \times 10^6$ $B\bar{B}$ pairs, collected…

The strong and radiative decays of the low-lying $S$- and $P$-wave $\Lambda_{c(b)}$, $\Sigma_{c(b)}$, $\Xi_{c(b)}$, $\Xi_{c(b)}'$ and $\Omega_{c(b)}$ baryons are systematically studied in a constituent quark model. We find that the…

CP violation (CPV) in the baryon sectors has not yet been established experimentally. In this work, we propose to search for the hyperon CPV through the Cabibbo-favored charm-baryon decaying processes involving a hyperon in the final…

Using 29.1fb-1 of data accumulated at the Upsilon(4S) with the Belle detector at KEKB, we have studied the decay modes B0bar->Lambda_c+ pbar pi+pi-, B- -> Lambda_c+ pbar pi-, and B0bar ->Lambda_c+ pbar. We report branching fractions of…

The similar densities of dark matter and baryons in the universe imply that they might arise from the same ultraviolet model. The B-Mesogenesis, which assumes dark matter is charged under the baryon number, attempts to simultaneously…

We examine the new physics sensitivity of the rare decay $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \nu\bar\nu$ which can be accessible at future $Z$-pole machines like FCC-ee and CEPC. We find that the longitudinal polarization of $\Lambda_b$ baryons produced…

We extend our relativistic quark model to the study of the decay Lambda_b -> Lambda_c ell nu and verify that the model satisfies the heavy-quark symmetry constraints at order 1/mQ^2. We isolate a strong dependence on a parameter which…

We present a new mechanism of Baryogenesis and dark matter production in which both the dark matter relic abundance and the baryon asymmetry arise from neutral $B$ meson oscillations and subsequent decays. This set-up is testable at hadron…

We present precision corrections to dispersion relation bounds on form factors in bottom hadron semileptonic decays and analyze their effects on parameterizations derived from these bounds. We incorporate QCD two-loop and nonperturbative…

The $B_s$-meson system is a key element in the $B$-physics programme of hadron colliders, offering various avenues to explore CP violation and to search for new physics. One of the most prominent decays is $B_s\to J/\psi\phi$, the…

We analyze rare charm baryon decays within the standard model and beyond. We identify all null test observables in unpolarized $\Lambda_c \to p \ell^+ \ell^-$, $\ell=e, \mu$ decays, and study the new physics sensitivities. We find that the…

In the light of recent experimental data from the CLEO Collaboration we study, the decays of B mesons to a pair of pseudoscalar (P) mesons, and a vector (V) meson and a pseudoscalar meson, in the framework of factorization. In order to…

The Standard Model of particle physics-the theory of particles and interactions at the smallest scale-predicts that matter and antimatter interact differently due to violation of the combined symmetry of charge conjugation ($C$) and parity…

Despite the large baryon-anti-baryon asymmetry in the observable Universe, the closely related phenomenon -- the violation of the combined charge and parity symmetry ($C\!P$V) -- has not been observed in the baryon sector in laboratories.…

The LHCb Collaboration has recently found a large CP-violating rate asymmetry in the $b$-baryon decay $\Lambda^0_b \to pK^-\pi^+\pi^-$. This is the first observation of CP violation in baryon processes, opening a new window to test its…
