The LHCb experiment has the potential, during the 2010-11 run, to observe the rare decay $B^0_s\to \mu^+\mu^-$ or improve significantly its exclusion limits. This study will provide very sensitive probes of New Physics (NP) effects. High…

Leptonic rare decays of $B^0_{s,d}$ mesons offer a powerful tool to search for physics beyond the Standard Model. The $B^0_{s}\to\mu^+\mu^-$ decay has been observed at the Large Hadron Collider and the first measurement of the effective…

A search is performed for the charmless three-body decays of the $\Lambda_b^0$ and $\Xi_b^0$ baryons to the final states $\Lambda h^+h^{\prime -}$, where $h^{(\prime)} = \pi$ or $K$. The analysis is based on a data sample, corresponding to…

We examine in detail the semi-leptonic decay $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c \tau{\bar \nu}_{\tau}$, which may confirm previous hints, from the analogous $B$ decay, of a new physics beyond the standard model. First of all, starting from rather…

Evidence for CP violation in baryonic decays has not been seen in experiments. With large data events accumulated at $e^+e^-$ collider or Large Hadron Collider, the charmed baryon decays would provide a promising laboratory to test the CP…

We propose to investigate the effects of new physics in the semi-leptonic sequential decay $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c (\to \Lambda \pi) \tau{\bar \nu}_{\tau}$. Firstly, we write the general, model independent, non-covariant expression of the…
