Putting together kinematical and dynamical analysis, a complete study of the decay channels $\Lambda_b \to {\Lambda} V(1^-)$, with $\Lambda \to p {\pi}^-$ and $V (J/\psi) \to {\ell}^+ {\ell}^-$ or $V ({\rho}^0) \to {\pi}^+ {\pi}^-,$ is…

Weak decays of beauty baryons like \Lambda_b (\bar\Lambda_b) into \Lambda (\bar\Lambda) and V (J^P = 1^-), where both decay products are polarized, offer interesting opportunities to perform tests of time reversal and CP violations and of…

Cabibbo allowed two-body hadronic weak decays of Lambda b baryons are analyzed in the factorization approximation. We use the covariant oscillator quark model to evaluate the heavy to heavy and heavy to light form factors. When applied in…
The baryon decay modes of B,bar{B}-> N_{1}bar{N}_{2}(f), bar{N}_{1}N_{2}(bar{f}) provide a frame work to test CP-invariance in baryon sector. It is shown that in the rest frame of B, N_{1} and bar{N}_{2} come out with longitudnal…
Two body non-leptonic decays:Lambda_b-->Lambda_c P(V) are investigated. Baryon form factors of the heavy quark effective theory are employed. Form factors for renormalization in full QCD are also considered. We find that contributions of…
Polarized $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \gamma$ decays at the Z pole are shown to be well suited for probing a large variety of New Physics effects. A new observable is proposed, the angular asymmetry between the $\Lambda_b$ spin and photon…
Within the framework of HQET, $\Lambda_{b}\rightarrow\Lambda_{c}\tau\bar{\nu}_{\tau}$ and $\Omega_{b}\rightarrow\Omega_{c}^{(*)}\tau\bar{\nu}_{\tau}$ weak decays are studied to the order of $1/m_c$ and $1/m_b$. Helicity amplitudes are…
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…
In new-physics processes that produce b or c jets, a measurement of the initial b or c-quark polarization could provide crucial information about the structure of the new physics. In the heavy-quark limit, the b and c-quark polarizations…
Due to the absence of hadronization effects and the large top mass, top quark decay will be uniquely sensitive to fundamental electroweak physics at the Tevatron, at the LHC, and at a future linear collider. A complete measurement of the…
We investigate the decay of $\Lambda_b\to\Lambda\nu\bar{\nu}$ with the polarized baryons of $\Lambda_b$ and $\Lambda$. With the most general hadronic form factors, we first study the decay branching ratio and then derive the longitudinal,…

Evidence for CP violation in baryonic decays has not been seen in experiments. With large data events accumulated at $e^+e^-$ collider or Large Hadron Collider, the charmed baryon decays would provide a promising laboratory to test the CP…
