We study the fragmentation fractions $(f_{{\bf B}_b})$ of the $b$-quark to b-baryons (${\bf B}_b$). By the assumption of $f_{\Lambda_b}/(f_u+f_d)=0.25\pm 0.15$ in accordance with the measurements by LEP, CDF and LHCb Collaborations, we…

We analyze rare charm baryon decays within the standard model and beyond. We identify all null test observables in unpolarized $\Lambda_c \to p \ell^+ \ell^-$, $\ell=e, \mu$ decays, and study the new physics sensitivities. We find that the…

This article reviews the most recent measurements of $B_{(s)}^0\to\mu^+\mu^-$ decay properties at the LHC, which are the most precise to date. The measurements of the branching fraction and effective lifetime of the $B_{s}^0\to\mu^+\mu^-$…

An analysis of the decay $\Lambda_b \to J/\psi(\to\mu^+\mu^-)\Lambda(\to p \pi^-)$ decay is performed to measure the $\Lambda_b$ polarization and three angular parameters in data from pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 7 and 8 TeV, collected by…

Using a proton-proton collision data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb$^{-1}$ collected by LHCb at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, about 3800 $\Xi_b^0\to\Xi_c^+\pi^-$, $\Xi_c^+\to pK^-\pi^+$ signal decays are…

Decays of $\mathit{\Xi}_{b}^-$ and $\mathit{\Omega}_{b}^-$ baryons to $\mathit{\Lambda}_{c}^+ h^- h^{\prime -}$ final states, with $h^- h^{\prime -}$ being $\pi^-\pi^-$, $K^-\pi^-$ and $K^-K^-$ meson pairs, are searched for using data…

Decays of beauty baryons to the $D^0 p h^-$ and $\Lambda_c^+ h^-$ final states (where $h$ indicates a pion or a kaon) are studied using a data sample of $pp$ collisions, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb$^{-1}$, collected…

Recently, the LHCb Collaboration provided updated measurements for the lepton flavour ratios $R_K$ and $R_{K^*}$. The currently observed values align with the predictions of the standard model. In light of these recent updates, our…

In this paper the potential for the discovery of new physics in the exclusive decay $\bar{B}_d \to \bar{K}^{*0} \mu^+ \mu^-$ is discussed. Attention is paid to constructing observables which are protected from uncertainties in QCD form…

Depending on the assumptions on the power corrections to the exclusive b -> s l+ l- decays, the latest data of the LHCb collaboration - based on the 3 fb^-1 data set and on two different experimental analysis methods - still shows some…

We consider possibilities to determine the handedness of $b \ra c$ current transitions using semileptonic baryonic $\Lambda_{b} \rightarrow \Lambda_{c}$ transitions. We propose to analyze the longitudinal polarization of the daughter baryon…

In the Standard Model of particle physics, the strength of the couplings of the $b$ quark to the $u$ and $c$ quarks, $|V_{ub}|$ and $|V_{cb}|$, are governed by the coupling of the quarks to the Higgs boson. Using data from the LHCb…

Decays of the kind $B^0_{s,d}\to\ell^+\ell^-$ belong to the most favourable processes for probing the flavour structure of the Standard Model, with outstanding sensitivity to new (pseudo)-scalar contributions. While the branching ratio of…

The decay of $\Lambda_b\to\Sigma_c^{(*)}\pi l{\bar\nu}$ processes are calculated in the framework of heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory with help of the $1/N_c$ expansion. The decay rate distributions over $v\cdot v^{\prime}$ where $v$…

Rare flavour changing neutral current decays are sensitive indirect probes for new effects beyond the Standard Model (SM). In the SM, these decays are forbidden at tree level and are therefore loop-suppressed. In SM extensions, new, heavy…
