The Belle-II experiment has recently reported the first measurement of $B^+ \to K^+ \nu\bar{\nu}$ decay which exceeds the Standard Model prediction by approximately 2.7$\sigma$. The deviation may indicate the presence of new physics beyond…
The nonleptonic decays of \Lambda_{b} that are dominated by W exchange are studied. In particular, the decay modes \varLambda_{b}\to\varDelta^{0}D^{0},\varDelta^{-}D^{+},\Sigma^{*-}D_{s}^{+},…
We derive a robust sum rule among the branching fractions of $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \nu \bar\nu$ and $B \to K^{(\ast)} \nu\bar\nu$, assuming that right-handed neutrinos are decoupled. Despite the presence of 18 independent Wilson…
The extension of the standard model to include a single scalar or vector leptoquark has been shown to account for the observed deviations in the lepton flavor universality ratios in the $b \to c \ell \nu_{\ell}$ and $b \to s \ell \ell$…
The rare decays $B_{s(d)} \to \mu^+\mu^-$ play a key role for the testing of the Standard Model. An overview of the most recent theoretical predictions of the corresponding branching ratios is given, emphasizing that the sizable decay width…
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…
We revisit the decay $\Lambda_b^0\to \Lambda_c^+ \ell^-\bar\nu$ ($\ell = e,\mu,\tau$) with a subsequent two-body decay $\Lambda_c^+ \to \Lambda^0 \pi^+$ in the Standard Model and in generic New Physics models. The decay's joint…
In our previous work, based on the $SU(6)$ spin-flavor wave function, we regard $\Lambda$ and $p$ as composed of different quark-diquark configurations and established the Bethe-Salpeter (BS) equations of configurations for quark and scalar…
The tree-level $b\rightarrow c{\ell}\bar\nu_{\ell}$ based hadronic transitions have been on the focus of much attention since recording significant deviations of the experimental data, on the ratios of the branching fractions in $ \tau $…
We study the hadronic decays of $\Lambda_{c}^{+}$ to the final states $\Sigma^{+}\eta$ and $\Sigma^+\eta^\prime$, using an $e^{+}e^{-}$ annihilation data sample of 567 pb$^{-1}$ taken at a center-of-mass energy of 4.6 GeV with the BESIII…
We study the four-body baryonic $B\to {\bf B_1 \bar B_2}M_1 M_2$ decays with $\bf B_{1,2}$ ($M_{1,2}$) being charmless baryons (mesons). In accordance with the recent LHCb observations, each decay is considered to proceed through the $B\to…

In this work, a comprehensive analysis for processes related to $b\to c\bar{u}q~(q=d, s)$ transitions are carried out, including new physics contributions. In light of a recent tension between branching fractions for $B_{(s)}\to…
We present the model independent analysis of $\Lambda$ baryon polarizations in the (Lambda_b -> Lambda l^+ l^-) decay. The sensitivity of the averaged 'Lambda' polarizations to the new Wilson coefficients is studied. It is observed that…
We investigate the ten independent local form-factors relevant to the $b$-baryon decay $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \ell^+\ell^-$, combining information of lattice QCD and dispersive bounds. We propose a novel parametrization of the form factors…
The rare baryonic decays $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \mu^+ \mu^-$ and $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \gamma$ can complement rare $B$ meson decays in constraining models of new physics. In this work, we calculate the relevant $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda$…
We study the semileptonic decay $\bar{B}_s \to K^{*+} \ell^-\bar\nu_\ell$, which is induced by $b\to u \ell^- \bar\nu_\ell$ transitions at the quark level. We take into account the standard model (SM) operator from $W$-boson exchange as…
We study the two-body and three-body charmful baryonic B decays: $\bar B^0\to \Lambda_c\bar p$ and $\bar B\to \Lambda_c \bar p\pi(\rho)$. The factorizable W-exchange contribution to $\bar B^0\to\Lambda_c\bar p$ is negligible. Applying the…
We study the four-body semileptonic baryonic decay of $B^-\to \Lambda\bar p\nu\bar \nu$ in the standard model. We find that the decay branching ratio is $(7.9\pm 1.9)\times 10^{-7}$. Similar to the rare decays of $B^-\to K^{(*)-}\nu\bar…
Recent experimental data on several observables in semileptonic $B$-meson decays are found to be in tension with the corresponding Standard Model predictions. Most of these deviations are related to $b \to c$ and $b \to s$ flavour changing…
