In this paper, we calculate the branching ratios for B^0\to D_s^+\pi^-, B^+\to D_s^+\pi^0, B^0\to D_s^{*+}\pi^- and B^+\to D_s^{*+}\pi^0 decays in the perturbative QCD factorization approach. We find that the calculated branching ratios of…

We conduct a theoretical study of the $ D_{s1}(2460) \to D_s \pi^+ \pi^- $ decay from the perspective that the $D_{s1}$ is a molecular state, built mostly from the $D^* K$ and $D_s^* \eta$ components. The $D^*$ and $D_s^*$ mesons are…

The decay $\Xi^-_b \to \pi^- \Lambda_b$ has recently been observed by the LHCb Collaboration at CERN. In contrast to most weak decays of $b$-flavored baryons, this process involves the decay of the strange quark in $\Xi_b$, and thus has…

We study the $\Lambda_{b}\to\Lambda_{c}\bar{D}^{0}K^{-}$ and $\Lambda_{b}\to \Lambda_{c}D^{-}\bar{K}^{0}$ decays which proceed via a Cabibbo and $N_c$ favored process of external emission, and we determine the $\bar{D}^{0}K^{-}$ and…

Three-body decay of charmed baryons $\Lambda^*_c(2595)$ and $\Lambda^*_c(2625)$ into $\Lambda_c \pi \pi$ are studied with effective Lagrangians in which the coupling constants are extracted from the non-relativistic quark model. We take…

We study the semileptonic $B_s$ and $B$ decays into the $D_{s 0}^{\ast} (2317)$ and $D_{0}^{\ast} (2400)$ resonances, respectively. With the help of a chiral unitarity model in coupled channels we compute the ratio of the decay widths of…

We construct an effective hadronic model including $\Lambda_c(2595)$, $\Lambda_c(2625)$, $\Lambda_b(5912)$ and $\Lambda_b(5920)$ regarding them as chiral partners to $\Sigma_c(2455)$, $\Sigma_c(2520)$, $\Sigma_b$ and $\Sigma_b^\ast$,…

With the diquark structure of Lambda_c, we investigate the branching ratios of Lambda_c -> n pi^+ and p pi^0. The results show that without considering the final state interaction (FSI), the branching ration of Lambda_c -> p pi^+ is only of…

The decay of $\Lambda_b\to\Sigma_c^{(*)}\pi l{\bar\nu}$ processes are calculated in the framework of heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory with help of the $1/N_c$ expansion. The decay rate distributions over $v\cdot v^{\prime}$ where $v$…
