We calculate the semi-leptonic decays of $\Lambda_c$ and $\Lambda_b$ baryons which involve transitions of a heavy quark to a light quark. In a previous work we used data on the Cabibbo favoured non-leptonic decays of charmed baryons…

The $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$, and $P_c(4457)$ observed by the LHCb Collaboration are very likely to be $S$-wave $\Sigma_c\bar{D}^{(*)}$ molecular candidates due to their near-threshold character. In this work, we study the hidden-charm…

We investigate the semileptonic decays of baryons containing double charm or double bottom quarks, focusing on their transitions to single heavy baryons through three-point QCD sum rule framework. In our calculations, we take into account…

There are two apparent puzzles connected with the two-body and three-body doubly charmed baryonic B decays. First, earlier calculations based on QCD sum rules or the diquark model predict $Br(\bar B^0\to\Xi_c^+\bar\Lambda_c^-)\approx…

We used an effective Lagrangian approach to investigate the production of the anticharmed pentaquark state $P_{\bar{c}s}^{(*)-}$ with the minimal quark content $\bar{c}sudd$ in the $\Lambda_b^0$ decay and its decay into the $\Lambda…

In the framework of the color-magnetic interaction, we have systematically studied the mass splittings of the possible hidden-charm pentaquarks $qqqc\bar{c}$ ($q=u,d,s$) where the three light quarks are in a color-octet state. We find that…

We study the heavy quark effective theory prediction for semileptonic $B$ decays into an orbital excited $F$-wave charmed doublet, the ($2^{+}$, $3^{+}$) states ($D^{*'}_{2}$, $D_{3}$), at the leading order of heavy quark expansion. The…

We investigate semileptonic sum rules in heavy-to-light charm decays, motivated by analogous relations in $b \to c$ and $b \to u$ transitions. Focusing on the $c \to d\overline{\ell}\nu$ decays, $D \to \pi\overline{\ell}\nu$, $D \to…

We calculate the $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c \ell \nu$ form factors and decay rates for all possible $b\to c \ell\bar\nu$ four-Fermi interactions beyond the Standard Model, including nonzero charged lepton masses and terms up to order…

We calculate semileptonic form factors for the decays $B_c \to \eta_c \, l \nu$ and $B_c \to J/\psi \, l \nu$ over the entire $q^2$ range, using a highly improved lattice quark action for charm at several lattice spacings down to $a=0.045$…

We present the first lattice-QCD determination of the form factors describing the semileptonic decays $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c^*(2595)\ell^-\bar{\nu}$ and $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c^*(2625)\ell^-\bar{\nu}$, where the $\Lambda_c^*(2595)$ and…

We study the semileptonic $B\to{\bf B\bar B'}L\bar L'$ decays with $\bf B\bar B'$ ($L\bar L'$) representing a baryon (lepton) pair. Using the new determination of the $B\to{\bf B\bar B'}$ transition form factors, we obtain ${\cal B}(B^-\to…

We study the full angular distribution of semileptonic rare charm baryon decays in which the secondary baryon undergoes weak decay with sizable polarization parameter, $\Xi_c^+\to\Sigma^+\,(\to p\pi^0)\ell^+\ell^-$,…

We systematically study the semileptonic decays of ${\bf B_c} \to {\bf B_n}\ell^+ \nu_{\ell}$ in the light-front constituent quark model, where ${\bf B_c}$ represent the anti-triplet charmed baryons of $(\Xi_c^0,\Xi_c^+,\Lambda_c^+)$ and…

Motivated by the LHCb observation of exotic states $X_{0,1}(2900)$ with four open quark flavors in the $D^- K^+$ invariant mass distribution in the decay channel $B^\pm \to D^+ D^- K^\pm$, we study the spectrum and decay properties of the…

The semileptonic decays of $\Lambda_{b}\to\Lambda_{c}^{(*)}\ell\nu_\ell$ and $\Lambda_{c}\to\Lambda^{(*)}\ell\nu_\ell$ are studied in the light-front quark model in this work. Instead of the quark-diquark approximation, we use the…
