If a light gluino exists, the lightest gluino-containing baryon, the \OSO, is a possible candidate for self-interacting dark matter. In this scenario, the simplest explanation for the observed ratio $\Omega_{dm}/\Omega_b \approx 6-10$ is…

The baryon decay modes of B,bar{B}-> N_{1}bar{N}_{2}(f), bar{N}_{1}N_{2}(bar{f}) provide a frame work to test CP-invariance in baryon sector. It is shown that in the rest frame of B, N_{1} and bar{N}_{2} come out with longitudnal…

We present an analysis of the Lambda(1405) resonance produced in the reaction p+p->Sigma^{pm}+pi^{mp}+K+p at 3.5 GeV kinetic beam energy measured with HADES at GSI. The two charged decay channels Lambda(1405) -> Sigma^{\pm}+pi^{\mp} have…
Searches for $B$ mesons decaying to final states containing a baryon and a lepton are performed, where the baryon is either $\Lambda_c$ or $\Lambda$ and the lepton is a muon or an electron. These decays violate both baryon and lepton number…

Low-lying $\Lambda$ baryons with spin 1/2 are analyzed in two-flavor lattice QCD. In order to extract two low-lying states for each parity, we construct $2 \times 2$ cross correlators from flavor SU(3) ``octet'' and ``singlet'' baryon…
A novel comparison between the data and the theory is proposed for the nonmesonic (NM) weak decay of hypernuclei. Instead of confronting the primary decay rates, as is usually done, we focus attention on the effective decay rates that are…
