A study of $\Lambda_b^0$ baryon decays to the $DpK^-$ final state is presented based on a proton-proton collision data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the LHCb detector. Two $\Lambda_b^0$…
We calculate the weak transition form factors of the $\Lambda_b\to\Lambda(1520)$ transition, and further calculate the angular distributions of the rare decays $\Lambda_b\to\Lambda(1520)(\to N\bar{K})\ell^{+}\ell^{-}$…
We present standard model (SM) estimates for exclusive $c \to u \gamma$ processes in heavy quark and hybrid frameworks. Measured branching ratios ${\cal{B}}(D^0 \to (\phi, \bar K^{*0}) \gamma)$ are at or somewhat exceeding the upper range…
Recent measure of $R_K$, involving the decays of $b\to s l^+ l^-$, by the LHCb at CERN strengthened the deviation from the Standard Model prediction. The best fit in the updated global analysis suggests that the muon specific Wilson…
A comprehensive study of the angular distributions in the bottom-baryon decays $\it{\Lambda}^\mathrm{0}_b\to\it{\Lambda}_c^+ h^-(h=\pi, K)$, followed by $\it{\Lambda}_c^+\to\it{\Lambda} h^+$ with $\it{\Lambda}\to \it{p} \pi^-$ or…

The nonleptonic decays of \Lambda_{b} that are dominated by W exchange are studied. In particular, the decay modes \varLambda_{b}\to\varDelta^{0}D^{0},\varDelta^{-}D^{+},\Sigma^{*-}D_{s}^{+},…
Motivated by the experimental accessibility of rare $B$ decays in the ongoing and planned experiments, we propose to undertake a model-independent analysis of the inclusive decay rates and distributions in the processes \bgamaxs~ and \Bsell…
The flavor changing rare decay $B\to K^{*}(\to K\pi)\ell^+\ell^-$ is one of the most studied modes due to its sensitivity to physics beyond the standard model and several discrepancies have come to light among the plethora of observables…
Inclusive $H_b \to X_s \, \gamma$ decays, with $H_b$ a beauty baryon, are treated exploiting an expansion up to the third order in the inverse of the $b$ quark mass $m_b$ and to LO in $\alpha_s$, keeping the dependence on the hadron spin.…
In this paper we investigate the phenomenological implications of boundary localized terms (BLTs) in the model of Universal Extra Dimensions (UED). In particular, we study the electroweak Kaluza-Klein mass spectrum resulting from BLTs and…
It is notorious that, contrary to all other precision electroweak data, the forward-backward asymmetry for b quarks $A_{FB}^b$ measured in Z decays at LEP1 is nearly three standard deviations away from the predicted value in the Standard…
The exclusive (B -> K_2 l^+ l^-) decay is studied using the most general, model independent four-fermion interaction. The sensitivity of the ratio of the decay widths when K_2 meson is longitudinally and transversally polarized, the…
Within the framework of a nonrelativistic quark model we evaluate the six form factors associated to the \Lambda_b^0 \to \Lambda_c^+ l^- \bar{\nu}_l semileptonic decay. The baryon wave functions were evaluated using a variational approach…
Inclusive semileptonic decays of beauty baryons are studied using the heavy quark expansion to ${\cal O}(1/m_b^3)$, at leading order in $\alpha_s$. The case of a polarized decaying baryon is examined, with reference to $\Lambda_b$. An…
Kaluza-Klein fields characterizing, from a four-dimensional viewpoint, the presence of compact universal extra dimensions would alter low-energy observables through effects determined by some compactification scale, $R^{-1}$, since the…

We examine in detail the semi-leptonic decay $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c \tau{\bar \nu}_{\tau}$, which may confirm previous hints, from the analogous $B$ decay, of a new physics beyond the standard model. First of all, starting from rather…
