Existence of the H-dibaryon in the flavor SU(3) symmetric limit is studied by full QCD simulations on the lattice, in the approach recently developed for the baryon-baryon (BB) interactions. Potential of the flavor-singlet BB channel is…
We study decay rates and spectra of anti-B --> Lambda anti-p pi, Sigma0 anti-p pi, Sigma- anti-n pi, Xi0 anti-Sigma+ pi, Xi- anti-Sigma0 pi and Xi- anti-Lambda pi modes under a factorization approach. The baryon pairs are produced through…
Using the lowest order chiral Lagrangian we study s-wave interactions of the baryon decuplet with the octet of pseudoscalar mesons. We find two bound states in the flavour SU(3) limit corresponding to the octet and decuplet representations.…
Current data of charmless B meson decays to two pseudoscalar mesons (PP) and one vector and one pseudoscalar mesons (VP) are analyzed within the framework of flavor SU(3) symmetry, a working principle that we have tested by allowing…
We study color allowed $\Lambda_b\to \Lambda^{(*,**)}_c M^-$, $\Xi_b\to\Xi_c^{(**)} M^-$ and $\Omega_b\to\Omega^{(*)}_c M^-$ decays with $M=\pi, K,\rho, K^*, D, D_s, D^*, D^*_s, a_1$, $\Lambda^{(*,**)}_c=\Lambda_c$, $\Lambda_c(2595)$,…
We study the threshold enhancement effects of baryon-anti-baryon systems in $J/\psi$ decays at BES using parity $P$, charge conjugation $C$, and flavor SU(3) symmetries. The $P$ and $C$ symmetries restrict the $p\bar p$ in $J/\psi \to…
Flavor SU(3) symmetry implies certain relations among $B$-decay amplitudes to $\pi\pi$, $\pi K$ and $K {\bar K}$ final states, when annihilation-like diagrams are neglected. Using three triangle relations, we show how to measure the weak…
Based on available experimental results on $\chi _{cJ}(J=0,1,2)$ decays, we investigate the $\chi_{cJ}\to PP$, $VV$, $PV$, and $PT$ decays by using SU(3) flavor symmetry/breaking approach, where $P$, $V$, and $T$ denote light pseudoscalar,…
Being strictly forbidden in the standard model, experimental detection of the lepton flavor violating decays $B(\bar B)\to\tau^+\mu^-$ and $b(\bar b)\to X\tau^+\mu^-$ would constitute an unmistakable indication of new physics. We study…
We investigate baryon-baryon (BB) interactions in the 3-flavor full QCD simulations with degenerate quark masses for all flavors. The BB potentials in the orbital S-wave are extracted from the Nambu-Bethe-Salpeter wave functions measured on…
The interpretation of the recent observation by LHCb of a heavy-flavor-conserving and strangeness-changing decay $\Xi_b^- \to \Lambda_b \pi^-$ in terms of the branching fraction for the decay suffers from the uncertainty in the yield of the…
We present a new classification scheme of baryon ground states and resonances into SU(3) flavor multiplets. The scheme is worked out along a covariant formalism with relativistic constituent quark models and it relies on detailed…
The measured value of A_b, the Z \bar bb asymmetry parameter, disagrees with the Standard Model at 99% confidence level. If genuine the discrepancy could indicate new interactions unique to third generation quarks, implying enhanced Z…
As a continuation of our previous works, we investigate the weak decays of doubly heavy baryons into a spin-$3/2$ singly or doubly heavy baryon. Light-front approach is adopted to handle the dynamics in the transitions, in which the two…
The observed branching ratios for $B\to K \eta'$ decays are much larger than factorization predictions in the Standard Model (SM). Many proposals have been made to reconcile the data and theoretical predictions. In this paper we study these…
We study the two-body anti-triplet charmed baryon decays based on the diagrammatic approach with $SU(3)$ flavor symmetry. We extract the two $W$-exchange effects as $E_{\bf B}$ and $E^\prime$ that contribute to the $\Lambda_c^+ \to \Xi^0…
We study the three-body decay of the newly observed bottom baryon $\Lambda_b^*(6072)$ by LHCb; $\Lambda_b^*(6072) \to \Lambda_b \pi \pi$. Its mass about 500 MeV above the ground state $\Lambda_b$ and a broad width imply that the state could…
We perform a general SU(3)$_F$ analysis of $b\rightarrow c\bar{c}s(d)$ decays of members of the beauty baryon antitriplet to a member of the light baryon octet and a singlet. Under several reasonable assumptions we found $\left\vert…
Within the collective coordinate approach to chiral soliton models we suggest that breaking of SU(3) flavor symmetry mainly resides in the baryon wave-functions while the charge operators maintain a symmetric structure. Sizable symmetry…
The increasing number of flavour anomalies motivates the investigation of new processes where tensions similar to the observed ones may emerge. It is necessary to identify observables sensitive to physics beyond the Standard Model. The…
