We report the observation of the decay mode $B^{\pm}\to p \bar{p} K^{\pm}$ based on an analysis of 29.4 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected by the Belle detector at KEKB. This is the first example of a $b\to s$ transition with baryons in the final…
A recent HyperCP observation of three events in the decay Sigma^+ -> p mu^+ mu^- is suggestive of a new particle with mass 214.3 MeV. In order to confront models that contain a light Higgs boson with this observation, it is necessary to…
The rare Hyperon decay $\Sigma^+ \to p \ell^+ \ell^-$ is an $s \to d$ flavour changing neutral current, and is therefore suppressed in within the Standard Model, making it an excellent probe for new physics. The process is dominated by long…
The fine structure of the low energy part of the nucleon and strange hyperon spectra, which are formed of single states without parity doublets, may be understood in terms of an $SU(3)$ flavor-symmetric quark-quark interaction that…
We discuss possible new physics (NP) effects beyond the standard model (SM) in the exclusive decays $\bar{B}^0 \to D^{(\ast)} \tau^- \bar{\nu}_{\tau}$. Starting with a model-independent effective Hamiltonian including non-SM four-Fermi…
Roles of quark-pair correlations in the baryon structure and the hyperon non-leptonic weak decay are studied within the non-relativistic constituent quark model. We construct the SU(3) ground state baryons by solving the three body problem…
In the low-energy regime light and strange baryons should be considered as systems of constituent quarks with confining interaction and a chiral interaction that is mediated by Goldstone bosons as well as by vector and scalar mesons. The…
Weak decays of heavy-quark baryons offer an attractive laboratory to search for effects beyond the Standard Model (SM), complementary to searches in meson decays. However, the properties of these baryons are not well understood. In…
With rapid growth of the database of the BES III and the proposed super flavor factory, measurement on the rare $\psi(2S)$ decays may be feasible, especially the weak decays into baryon final states. In this work we study the decay rate of…
Non-leptonic two-body weak decays of baryons are an important tool to probe the combined charge-conjugation--parity symmetry (CP) violation. We explain why the decays of strange baryons provide complementary information to the decays of…
We present results on baryon number, strangeness and electric charge fluctuations in QCD at non-zero density and temperature obtained from lattice calculations with almost physical quark masses. At vanishing chemical potential, i.e. under…
The flavor-changing neutral current decay processes of the $B$ and $B_c$ mesons with the final states involving spin-$1/2$ particles are investigated. By considering the background of the Standard Model where $\nu\bar\nu$ contributes the…
We point out new ways to search for charmless baryonic B decays: baryon pair production in association with $\eta^\prime$ is very likely as large as or even a bit larger than two body $K\pi/\pi\pi$ modes. We extend our argument, in weaker…
The semileptonic decays and two-body nonleptonic decays of light baryon octet ($T_8$) and decuplet ($T_{10}$) consisting of light $u,d,s$ quarks are studied with the SU(3) flavor symmetry in this work. We obtain the amplitude relations…
The first observation of the decay of a $B^0$ meson to a purely baryonic final state, $B^0 \to p \bar{p}$, is reported. The proton-proton collision data sample used was collected with the LHCb experiment at center-of-mass energies of 7 and…
In the Standard Model (SM) the branching ratio for the decay $K_L \to \nu \bar{\nu}$ into two neutrinos is helicity suppressed and predicted to be very small $ \leq O(10^{-17})$. We consider two natural extensions of the SM, such as…
Search for new physics with charm rare decays at BESIII. The BESIII experiment has collected 2.6 billion $\psi(3686)$ events, 10 billion $J/\psi$ events, $20 fb^{-1}$ D meson pairs at 3.773 GeV, and $7.33 fb^{-1}~D_{s}D_{s}^{*}$ events from…
The rare Hyperon decay $\Sigma^+ \to p \ell^+ \ell^-$ is an $s \to d$ flavour changing neutral current process, which is highly suppressed within the Standard Model, and is therefore sensitive to new physics. Due to recent improvements in…
Measurements from the LHCb experiment and $B$ factories have revealed several discrepancies in angular observables of rare semileptonic $B$ decays involving the quark-level transition $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$. In this work, we conduct a…
We study the evolution of matter composition from nuclear to quark densities in the confining regime, by extending an ideal model of Quarkyonic matter, IdylliQ model, to multi-flavor systems including strangeness. The model provides a dual…
