We provide upper and lower bounds on the semileptonic weak decay form factors for $B \to D^(*)$ and $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c$ decays by utilizing inclusive heavy quark effective theory sum rules. These bounds are calculated to second order…
A heavy-quark limit of the Dyson-Schwinger equations is introduced and used in an exploratory study of leptonic and semileptonic decays of heavy mesons. The application of this framework to heavy-to-light semileptonic decays, which require…
We study the weak decays of exotic tetraquark states ${b\bar c}{q\bar q}$ with two heavy quarks. Under the SU(3) symmetry for light quarks, these tetraquarks can be classified into an octet plus a singlet: $3\bigotimes\bar 3=1\bigoplus8$.…
We explore the two-body non-leptonic weak decays of $\Omega_c^0$ into final states ${\bf B}^{(*)}M$ and ${\bf B}^{(*)}V$, where ${\bf B}^{(*)}$ denotes an octet (a decuplet) baryon and $M(V)$ represents a pseudoscalar (vector) meson. We…
In this work we investigate the weak $\Lambda_{b}\to\Lambda_c$ semi-leptonic and non-leptonic decays. The light-front quark model and diquark picture for heavy baryons are adopted to evaluate the $\Lambda_{b}\to\Lambda_c$ transition form…
