We have studied two-body charmless decays of the $B$ meson into the final states $\rho^0 \rho^0$, $K^{*0} \rho^0$, $K^{*0} K^{*0}$, $K^{*0} \bar{K^{*0}}$, $K^{*+} \rho^0$, $K^{*+} \bar{K^{*0}}$, and $K^{*+} K^{*-}$ using only decay modes…

We consider $X(3872)$ and $Y(4140)$ as the vector tetraquark states of $X_c^0\equiv c\bar c u\bar u(d\bar d)$ and $c\bar c s\bar s$, respectively. By connecting $\Lambda_b\to X_c^0\Lambda$ to $B^-\to X_c^0 K^-$, we predict that the…

LHCb has recently reported the first observation of a four-body baryonic $B\to{\bf B_1\bar B'_1 B_2\bar B'_2}$ decay, where ${\bf B_1\bar B'_1}$ and ${\bf B_2\bar B'_2}$ represent the two pairs of octet baryon states. In our classification,…

We reassess the $B\to\pi\ell\nu_{\ell}$ differential branching ratio distribution experimental data released by the BaBar and Belle Collaborations supplemented with all lattice calculations of the $B\to\pi$ form factor shape available up to…

The first observation of the decay of a $B^0$ meson to a purely baryonic final state, $B^0 \to p \bar{p}$, is reported. The proton-proton collision data sample used was collected with the LHCb experiment at center-of-mass energies of 7 and…

We first study the charmless two-body $\Lambda_b$ decays with the scalar mesons as the final states and predict that ${\cal B}(\Lambda_b\to \Lambda f_0(980,1500))=(2.9\pm 0.7,12.4\pm 3.8)\times 10^{-6}$ and ${\cal B}(\Lambda_b\to p…

The CLEO Collaboration has now observed the decays $B^+ \to \omega \pi^+$ and $B \to \omega K^+$ with branching ratios of $(1.1^{+0.6}_{-0.5} \pm 0.2) \times 10^{-5}$ and $(1.5^{+0.7}_{-0.6} \pm 0.3) \times 10^{-5}$, respectively. These are…

We present final measurements of thirteen charmless hadronic B decay modes from the CLEO experiment. The decay modes include the ten pipi, Kpi, and KKbar final states and new limits on dibaryonic final states, ppbar, pLambdabar, and…

We compute the branching fraction of the decays $B \to K \nu \bar\nu$ and $B \to K^* \nu \bar\nu$ in the Standard Model. We also comment on the experimental difficulties and procedures to detect such modes at B factories.

We report the results of the first search for Standard Model and baryon-number-violating two-body decays of the neutral $B$ mesons to $\Lambda^{0}$ and $\Omega^{(*)0}_c$ using 711~${\rm fb^{-1}}$ of data collected at the $\Upsilon(4S)$…

The rare baryonic decay $\Lambda_b\to \Lambda(\to p\pi^-)\mu^+\mu^-$ provides valuable complementary information compared to the corresponding mesonic $b\to s\mu^+\mu^-$ transition. In this paper, using the latest high-precision lattice QCD…

Within the framework of $SU(3)$ flavor symmetry, we investigate two-body doubly charmful baryonic $B\to{\bf B}_c\bar{\bf B}'_c$ decays, where ${\bf B}_c\bar{\bf B}'_c$ represents the anti-triplet charmed dibaryon. We determine the $SU(3)_f$…

We examine the validity of the generalized factorization method and calculate the angular correlations in the charmful three-body baryonic decays of $\bar B^0\to \Lambda \bar p D^{(*)+}$. With the timelike baryonic form factors newly…

Using rotation in SU(3) space, a set of relations between various decay modes of B_{d} and B_{s} are derived. The decays bar{B}_{d}^{0}-> K^{*-}pi ^{+}(rho ^{+}K^{-}), bar{B}_{s}^{0}-> K^{*-}K^{+} are expressed in terms of decay parameters…

We present a systematical study of two-body and three-body charmless baryonic B decays. Branching ratios for two-body modes are in general very small, typically less than $10^{-6}$, except that $\B(B^-\to p \bar\Delta^{--})\sim 1\times…

The $\Lambda_b^0\to\Lambda\phi$ decay is observed using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0fb$^{-1}$ recorded by the LHCb experiment. The decay proceeds at leading order via a $b\to s\bar{s}s$ loop transition and is…
