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…

Three decades ago, heavy-flavor-conserving (HFC) weak decays of heavy baryons such as $\Xi_Q\to\Lambda_Q\pi$ and $\Omega_Q\to\Xi_Q\pi$ for $Q=c,b$ had been studied within the framework that incorporates both heavy-quark and chiral…

Using the topological-diagram approach based on $SU(3)$ flavor symmetry, we investigate two-body $\Lambda_c^+\to {\bf B}S$ decays, where ${\bf B}$ denotes the final-state baryon and $S$ refers to a light scalar meson, such as…

We study decay properties of the $P$-wave charmed baryons using the method of light-cone QCD sum rules, including the $S$-wave decays of the flavor $\mathbf{\bar 3}_F$ $P$-wave charmed baryons into ground-state charmed baryons accompanied…

Motivated by the recent LHCb observation of $CP$ violation in charm, we study $CP$ violation in the charmed baryon decays. A simple method to search for the $CP$ violation relations in the flavor $SU(3)$ limit, which is associated with a…

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…

We analyse the two purely isospin-violating decays $\Lambda_b\rightarrow \Sigma^0 \phi$ and $\Lambda_b\rightarrow \Sigma^0 J/\psi$, proceed merely via the exchange topologies, in the framework of perturbative QCD approach. Assuming…

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…

We report the recent results of charmed baryon decays, based on the data collected by the Belle experiment at the KEKB collider. This includes the observation of the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decay $\Lambda_c^+\to\pi^-K^+p$, search for the…

We point out new ways to search for charmless baryonic B decays: baryon pair production in association with $\eta^\prime$ is very likely as large as or even a bit larger than two body $K\pi/\pi\pi$ modes. We extend our argument, in weaker…

Weak decays of heavy-quark baryons offer an attractive laboratory to search for effects beyond the Standard Model (SM), complementary to searches in meson decays. However, the properties of these baryons are not well understood. In…

In this talk, I review the various measurements that have been made over the years of CP-violating observables in $B$ decays. These include indirect CP asymmetries, direct CP asymmetries, and triple products. All are discussed in the…

We report a study of $\Lambda_c^+\to\Lambda h^+$ and $\Lambda_c^+\to\Sigma^{0} h^+$ ($h\!=\!K,\,\pi$) decays based on a data sample of 980~${\rm fb}^{-1}$ collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB energy-asymmetric $e^+e^-$ collider.…

The Standard Model of particle physics-the theory of particles and interactions at the smallest scale-predicts that matter and antimatter interact differently due to violation of the combined symmetry of charge conjugation ($C$) and parity…

We study T-violating triple-product asymmetries in the quark-level decay b -> s u u(bar) within the standard model (SM). We find that only two types of triple products are non-negligible. The asymmetry in p_u . [s_u x s_u(bar)] or p_u(bar)…
