We study the charmful three-body baryonic B decays with $D^{(*)}$ or $J/\Psi$ in the final state. We explain the measured rates of $\bar B^0\to n\bar p D^{*+}$, $\bar B^0\to p\bar p D^{(*)0}$, and $B^-\to \Lambda \bar p J/\Psi$. In…
We obtain tree-level estimates of various differential branching ratios of heavy baryon decays with massive sterile neutrinos $\nu_{x}$ in the final state. Heavy sterile neutrinos can be searched for in heavy baryon decays with missing mass…
Results are presented for the two-body decays of mesons into light neutralinos and from the first complete calculation of the loop-induced decays of kaons to pions plus light neutralinos and of B mesons to kaons plus light neutralinos. The…
We re-analyze hadronic decays of B mesons to a pseudoscalar (P) and a tensor meson (T), or a vector meson (V) and a tensor meson, through a $b \to c$ transition. We discuss possible large uncertainties to branching ratios (BR's) of the…
We report the observation of the decay mode $B^{\pm}\to p \bar{p} K^{\pm}$ based on an analysis of 29.4 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected by the Belle detector at KEKB. This is the first example of a $b\to s$ transition with baryons in the final…

The measurements of B_s mesons and b baryons advanced greatly in the past year. The ground state b baryon Xi_b^0 was observed for the first time; numerous decay modes of the B_s^0 and b baryons were newly seen; measurements of CP violation…
We report the results of a study of two-body B meson decays to the complete set of K pi, pi pi, and K K final states. The study is performed on a data sample of 31.7 +/- 0.3 million B B-bar events recorded on the Upsilon(4S) resonance by…
We study the charmless two-body decays of $B\to {\bf B}_n \overline{\bf B}_n^\prime$ with $B = ( B^+ , B^0 , B^0_s)$ and ${\bf B}_n^{(\prime)}$ the low-lying octet baryons. The factorizable amplitudes are calculated by the modified bag…
I report on recent measurements from the Belle and BaBar collaborations on the decay of the B-meson to hadronic final states without a charm quark.
The $B^0$ meson decay modes $B^0 \to D^{*-} p {\bar p} \pi^+$, $D^{-} p {\bar p} \pi^+$, ${\bar D}^{*0} p {\bar p}$, and ${\bar D}^{0} p {\bar p}$ are studied in a sample of $124\times 10^{6}$ $B{\bar B}$ pairs collected with the $BaBar$…
Based on a data sample of an integrated luminosity of 57.4 fb-1 at the Upsilon(4S) resonance taken with the BaBar detector using the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric-energy $B$-Factory, hadronic decays of B meson with the final states D(*) and three…
The decays of $B$ mesons to two-body hadronic final states are analyzed within the context of broken flavor SU(3) symmetry, extending a previous analysis involving pairs of light pseudoscalars to decays involving one or two charmed quarks…
Our study focuses on the weak decay of $ D_s^+ \to p \overline{n} $, which is the only possible two-body baryonic decay in the $ D $ meson system. An analysis using perturbative quantum chromodynamics (pQCD) is challenging in this decay due…
We have searched for two-body charmless hadronic decays of $B$ mesons. Final states include $\pi\pi$, $K \pi$, and $KK$ with both charged and neutral kaons and pions; $\pi\rho$, $K \rho$, and $K^*\pi$; and $K\phi$, $ K^*\phi$, and…
A baryonic decay of the $B_c^+$ meson, $B_c^+\to J/\psi p\overline{p}\pi^+$, is observed for the first time, with a significance of $7.3$ standard deviations, in $pp$ collision data collected with the LHCb detector and corresponding to an…
The $\Delta S = 2$ transition $b \to s s \bar d$ is extremely small in the standard model, proceeding only via box diagrams. Such decays are thus an appropriate ground for searching new physics. We present a study of several two-body and…
In this work we have studied hadronic charmless two-body B decays involving p-wave mesons in final state. We have calculated branching ratios of $B\to AT$ decays (where $A$ and $T$ denotes a $^3P_1$ axial-vector and a tensor meson,…
In the quark-diagram scheme, we study the charmed baryon decays of ${\bf B}_c\to {\bf B}^* M$, where ${\bf B}_c$ is $\Lambda_c^+$ or $\Xi_c^{+(0)}$, together with ${\bf B}^*$ ($M$) the decuplet baryon (pseudoscalar meson). It is found that…
We study the four-body exclusive semileptonic baryonic $\bar B$ decays of $B^-\to p\bar p \ell^- \bar\nu_{\ell}$ ($\ell=e,\mu,\tau$) in the standard model. We find that their decay branching ratios are about $(1.0, 1.0,0.5)\times 10^{-4}$,…
