Recent measurements of various charm-hadron ratios in $pp$, $p$-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC have posed challenges to the theoretical understanding of heavy-quark hadronization. The $\Lambda_c/D^0$ ratio in $pp$ and $p$-Pb collisions…

In a coalescence plus fragmentation approach we calculate the heavy baryon/meson ratio and the $p_T$ spectra of charmed hadrons $D^{0}$, $D_{s}$ and $\Lambda_{c}^{+}$ in a wide range of transverse momentum from low $p_T$ up to about 10 GeV…

There are two apparent puzzles connected with the two-body and three-body doubly charmed baryonic B decays. First, earlier calculations based on QCD sum rules or the diquark model predict $Br(\bar B^0\to\Xi_c^+\bar\Lambda_c^-)\approx…
We critically discuss fragmentation of quark or antiquark to massive particles (mesons or baryons) in proton-proton collisions. Both heavy and light quark/antiquark fragmentations are discussed using universal $z$-dependent fragmentation…
In a consistently formulated pQCD framework incorporating non-zero mass heavy quark partons, there is still the freedom to define parton distributions obeying either mass-independent or mass-dependent evolution equations, contrary to…
We perform an analysis of angular distributions in semileptonic decays of charmed baryons $B_1^{(\prime)}\to B_2^{(\prime)}(\to B_3^{(\prime)}B_4^{(\prime)})\ell^+\nu_{\ell}$, where the $B_1=(\Lambda_c^+,\Xi_c^{(0,+)})$ are the…
We study the charmed baryon production reaction ${\bar p} p \to {\bar \Lambda}_c^- \Lambda_c^+$ using the $t$-channel $D^0$ and $D^{*0}$ meson exchange diagrams within an effective Lagrangian model involving the physical hadron masses and…
Traditionally, lattice QCD computations of generalized parton distributions (GPDs) have been carried out in a symmetric frame, where the transferred momentum is symmetrically distributed between the incoming and outgoing hadrons. However,…
