We study the angular distributions of the baryon-antibaryon low-mass enhancements in the three-body baryonic B decays of $B\to p\bar{p}M$ (M=K and $\pi$) in the framework of the perturbative QCD. By writing the most general forms for the…

In recent times, several hints of lepton non-universality have been observed in semileptonic $B$ meson decays, both in the charged-current ($b \to c l \bar \nu_l$) and neutral-current ($b \to s ll $) transitions. Motivated by these…

We perform an analysis of angular distributions in semileptonic decays of charmed baryons $B_1^{(\prime)}\to B_2^{(\prime)}(\to B_3^{(\prime)}B_4^{(\prime)})\ell^+\nu_{\ell}$, where the $B_1=(\Lambda_c^+,\Xi_c^{(0,+)})$ are the…

Recent experimental results of ${\cal R}(D^{(*)})$ deviate from the standard model (SM) by $3.1\sigma$, suggesting a new physics (NP) that affects the $b\to c \tau \bar\nu_\tau$ transition. Motivated by this, we investigate the possible NP…

Motivated by the anomalies present in $b \to s\,l^+\,l^-$ neutral current decays, we study the corresponding $B_c \to (D_s,\,D^{\ast}_s)\mu^+\mu^-$ decays within the standard model and beyond. We use a model independent effective theory…

The flavor anomalies reported in $R_K$, $R_{K^*}$, $P_{5}^{\prime}$ and $\mathcal{B}(B_s\, \to\, \phi\, \mu^+\, \mu^-)$ indicate lepton flavor universality violation in $b \to s\,l^+\,l^-$ quark level transition decays. The deviation from…

The rare decay $B^0 \to K^{\ast 0}\ell^+\ell^-$ is a flavour changing neutral current decay with a high sensitivity to physics beyond the Standard Model. Nearly all theoretical predictions and all experimental measurements so far have…
