We systematically revisit the baryonic four-body semileptonic decays of $B^- \to {\bf B}\bar{\bf B}'\ell^- \bar{\nu}_{\ell}$ by the perturbative QCD counting rules with ${\bf B}$ representing octet baryons and $\ell=e,\mu$. We study the…
We probe the inner structure of the meson $D^*_{s0}(2317)$ through the decays of $B_{(s)}$ to two charmed mesons within pQCD approach. Assuming $D^*_{s0}(2317)$ as a scalar meson with $\bar cs$ structure, we find that the predictions for…
The decay $D_s^+\to p \bar p e^+\nu_e$ with a proton-antiproton pair in the final state is unique in the sense that it is the only semileptonic baryonic decay which is physically allowed in the charmed meson sector. Its measurement will…
