We calculate the two body Cabibbo allowed non-leptonic decays of charmed baryons $\Lambda_c$ and $\Xi_c$ which involve transitions of a heavy quark to a light quark. We use data on the Cabbibo favoured non-leptonic decays $\Lambda_c…
I discuss the most recently discovered open charm mesons, both with and without strangeness. By exploiting the heavy quark limit, strong decay widths of such mesons are computed. Comparison between theoretical predictions and experimental…
The exploration of symmetry laws stands as a cutting-edge direction in modern physics research. This work delves into the examination of P and CP symmetry properties within the charm quark system by analyzing asymmetry parameters in the…
I review the recent proposal that there are new isotriplet heavy baryons with masses approximately 2380 MeV and 5760 MeV. This prediction follows from the application of heavy spin-flavor and light $SU(3)$ symmetries to the observed charmed…
In this work, to establish a more abundant $\Lambda_c$ baryon spectrum, we discuss the production potentials of the excited $\Lambda_c$ baryons through $\Lambda_b$ hadronic weak decays within a constituent quark model. Based on our…
We report the ground state masses of hadrons containing at least one charm and one bottom quark using lattice quantum chromodynamics. These include mesons with spin (J)-parity (P) quantum numbers J(P): 0(-), 1(-), 1(+) and 0(+) and the…
Conventional hadronic matter consists of baryons and mesons made of three quarks and quark-antiquark pairs, respectively. The observation of a new type of hadronic state, a doubly charmed tetraquark containing two charm quarks, an anti-$u$…
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…
We have systematically studied the strong and radiative decays of the low-lying $1P$-wave doubly charmed baryons. Some interesting observations are: (i) The states $\Xi_{cc}^*$ and $\Omega_{cc}^*$ with $J^P=3/2^+$ have a fairly large decay…
We revisit the mass splittings of SU(3) baryons, taking into account the second-order effects of isospin and SU(3) flavor symmetry breakings within the framework of a chiral soliton model. The masses of the baryon decuplet turn out to be…
We study the two-body anti-triplet charmed baryon decays of ${\bf B}_c\to {\bf B}_n V$, with ${\bf B}_c=(\Xi_c^{0},-\Xi_c^{+},\Lambda_c^+)$ and ${\bf B}_n(V)$ the baryon (vector meson) states. Based on the $SU(3)$ flavor symmetry, we…
Motivated by recent progresses in experiments in searching for the $\Omega_{c}$ baryons, we systematically analyze the strong decay behaviors of single heavy baryons $\Lambda_{Q}$, $\Sigma_{Q}$ and $\Omega_{Q}$. The two-body strong decay…
Using data recorded by the CLEO II and CLEO II.V detector configurations at CESR, we report new measurements of the masses of the Sigma_c^{++} and Sigma_c^0 charmed baryons, and the first measurements of their intrinsic widths. We find…
We systematically study the $S$-wave doubly charmed baryons using the method of QCD sum rules. Our results suggest that the $\Xi_{cc}^{++}$ recently observed by LHCb can be well identified as the $S$-wave $\Xi_{cc}$ state of $J^P = 1/2^+$.…
We study the doubly charmful two-body and three-body baryonic B decays $\bar B\to \Lambda_c^+\bar \Lambda_c^-$ and $\bar B\to \Lambda_c^+\bar \Lambda_c^- \bar K$. As pointed out before, a naive estimate of the branching ratio ${\cal…
In this article, we tentatively identify the charmed mesons $D_J(2580)$, $D_J^*(2650)$, $D_J(2740)$, $D^*_J(2760)$, $D_J(3000)$, $D_J^*(3000)$ observed by the LHCb collaboration according to their spin, parity and masses, then study their…
We estimate the relative branching ratio of $\sigma$ to 2$\pi$ for the decay of the $\Psi'(2S)$, which we have found to be a mixed charm and hybrid charmonium meson. The external field method and correlators from a previous calculation are…
With the one-boson-exchange model, we study the interaction between the S-wave $D^{(*)}/D^{(*)}_s$ meson and S-wave $B^{(*)}/B^{(*)}_s$ meson considering the S-D mixing effect. Our calculation indicates that there may exist the $B_c$-like…
