A study of $\Lambda_b^0$ baryon decays to the $DpK^-$ final state is presented based on a proton-proton collision data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the LHCb detector. Two $\Lambda_b^0$…
We analyze experimental data for the production of Lambda baryons in e^+e^- annihilation in terms of scale dependent, QCD evolved, Lambda fragmentation functions. Apart from the vast majority of the data for which the polarization of an…
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 report first measurements of the doubly charmed baryonic B decays B->Lambda_c+Lambda_c-K. The B+->Lambda_c+Lambda_c-K+ decay is observed with a branching fraction of (6.5+1.0-0.9+-1.1+-3.4)x10^{-4} and a statistical significance of…
At LHC a large number of b-flavored baryons will be produced. In this note we propose new baryon modes to determine the photon helicity of the penguin transition $b \to s \gamma$. The decay $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \gamma$ has the drawback…
We present a comprehensive review of purely leptonic and semileptonic decays of $D^{0(+)}$, $D_s^{+}$, and charmed baryons (including $\Lambda_c^{+}$, $\Xi_c$ and $\Omega_c$). The precise studies of these decays help deepen our…
In the leading order of perturbative QCD one calculates the total and differential cross-sections for the hadronic production of doubly charmed baryons $\Xi_{cc}$ and $\Xi_{cc}^*$ in different experiments. The experimental evaluation of…
The decays $\Xi_b \to \Lambda_b \pi$ are strangeness changing weak transitions involving only the light diquark in the baryon. Thus these decays can test the properties of such diquarks, in particular the suggestions existing in the…
We propose that the cascade decay $\Lambda_b \to D(\to K^+\pi^-) N(\to p\pi^-)$ may serve as the discovery channel for baryonic CP violation. This decay chain is contributed by, dominantly, the amplitudes with the intermediate $D$ state as…
In this review we give a perspective of the theoretical work done recently on the interpretation of results from $B$, $D$, $\Lambda_b$, $\Lambda_c$ weak decays into final states that contain interacting hadrons, and how it is possible to…
We investigate the quantum correlated $\Lambda \bar{\Lambda} $ production in the reaction $e^{+}e^{-} \to J/\psi \to \Lambda \bar{\Lambda}$. Since the $\Lambda$ or $\bar{\Lambda}$ has a nonzero magnetic moment, its spin will undergo a…
Using the factorization approach and taking into account the final state interaction, we calculate the two body non-leptonic decays of doubly heavy baryons. After comparing the semi-leptonic decays and all possible hadronic decay channels,…
We study for the first time the three-body charmless baryonic decays $\bar B^0_s\to \bar p \Lambda M^+ (p \bar \Lambda M^-)$, with $M=\pi, K$. We find that the branching ratios of $\bar B^0_s\to (\bar p \Lambda K^+$ and $p\bar \Lambda K^-)$…
The semileptonic weak decay process of the $\Lambda_c$ baryon to the neutron $\Lambda_c\rightarrow ne^+\nu_e$ is examined. The transition form factors are investigated with light-cone QCD sum rules. The differential decay width is obtained…
The strong and radiative decays of the low-lying $\lambda$-mode $D$-wave $\Lambda_{c(b)}$, $\Sigma_{c(b)}$, $\Xi_{c(b)}$, $\Xi_{c(b)}'$, and $\Omega_{c(b)}$ baryons are studied in a constituent quark model. Our calculation shows the…
Predictions of a thermodynamical model of hadron production for multiplicity distributions in $e^+e^-$ annihilations at LEP and PEP-PETRA centre of mass energies are shown. The production process is described as a two-step process in which…
In the paper, we present a detailed discussion on the semi-inclusive production of doubly heavy baryons ($\Xi_{bc}$ and $\Xi_{bb}$) through top-quark decay channel, $t\rightarrow \Xi_{bQ^{\prime}}+ \bar {Q^{\prime}} + W^+ $, within the…
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…

The molecular assignments to the three $P_c$ states and the similar production mechanism between the $\Lambda_b\to P_c+K$ and $B\to XYZ+K$ convince us the $B$ decaying to a charmonium state plus light mesons could be the appropriate…
