A search is performed for the as yet unobserved baryonic $\Lambda_b \rightarrow \Lambda \eta^\prime$ and $\Lambda_b \rightarrow \Lambda \eta$ decays with 3$fb^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data recorded by the LHCb experiment. The $B^0…
Using 13.7 fb^{-1} of data recorded by the CLEO detector at CESR, we investigate the spectrum of charmed baryons which decay into Lambda_c^+ pi^- pi^+ and are more massive than the Lambda_{c1} baryons. We find evidence for two new states:…
A comprehensive study of the angular distributions in the bottom-baryon decays $\it{\Lambda}^\mathrm{0}_b\to\it{\Lambda}_c^+ h^-(h=\pi, K)$, followed by $\it{\Lambda}_c^+\to\it{\Lambda} h^+$ with $\it{\Lambda}\to \it{p} \pi^-$ or…
The nature of the $ \Lambda(1405) $ has been a puzzle for decades, whether it is a standard three-quark baryon, a hybrid baryon or a baryon-meson molecule. More information on the decay channels of this particle and its strong, weak and…
Inspired by the newly observed $\Xi_c^0$ states by the LHCb Collaboration, we investigate the OZI-allowed two-body strong decays of the $\lambda$-mode $1P$ wave $\Xi'_c$ states within the chiral quark model. Our results indicate that: (i)…
In this work, to establish a more abundant $\Lambda_c$ baryon spectrum, we discuss the production potentials of the excited $\Lambda_c$ baryons through $\Lambda_b$ hadronic weak decays within a constituent quark model. Based on our…
I suggest that the conventional assignment of quantum numbers to the observed charm and bottom baryons is not correct, as these assignments imply large violation of the heavy spin-flavor and light $SU(3)$ symmetries. I propose an…
An amplitude analysis of the decay $\Lambda_b^0\to D^0 p \pi^-$ is performed in the part of the phase space containing resonances in the $D^0 p$ channel. The study is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0…
We study the weak decay of the $\Lambda_b$ baryon into $J/\psi\ \phi\ \Lambda$, a process that is particularly well suited to analyze the physics of some of the recently observed or theoretically predicted exotic hadrons, as one expects to…
We study the non-leptonic two-body weak decays of $\Lambda_c^+(2286)\to {\bf B}_n M$ with ${\bf B}_n$ ($M$) representing as the baryon (meson) states. Based on the $SU(3)$ flavor symmetry, we can describe most of the data reexamined by the…
Strong decays of charmed baryons are analyzed in the framework of heavy hadron chiral perturbation theory (HHChPT) in which heavy quark symmetry and chiral symmetry are synthesized. HHChPT works excellently for describing the strong decays…
The strong decay widths and some important branching ratios of possible Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka(OZI)-allowed strong decay channels of $\Lambda_c(2595)^+$, $\Lambda_c(2625)^+$, $\Lambda_c(2765)^+$ ($\Sigma_c(2765)^+$), $\Lambda_c(2860)^+$,…
The mass and pole residue of the ground and first radially excited $ \Omega_c^{0}$ states with spin-parities $J^{P}=1/2^{+},\,3/2^{+}$, as well as P-wave $\Omega_c^{0}$ with $J^{P}=1/2^{-},\,3/2^{-}$ are calculated by means of the two-point…
We report the observation of new bottom baryon states. The most recent result is the observation of the baryon \Xi_b^- through the decay \Xi_b^- to J/\psi \Xi^-. The significance of the signal corresponds to 7.7 sigma and the \Xi_b^- mass…
Motivated by recent progresses in experiments in searching for the $\Omega_{c}$ baryons, we systematically analyze the strong decay behaviors of single heavy baryons $\Lambda_{Q}$, $\Sigma_{Q}$ and $\Omega_{Q}$. The two-body strong decay…
The $\Xi_b(6227)$ baryon with the quantum number $J^P=1/2^{-}$ is considered as a molecular state composed of a $\Sigma_b$ baryon and $\bar{K}$ meson. The partial decay widths of the $\Sigma_b\bar{K}$ molecular state into $\Xi_b\gamma$ and…
This paper presents updated measurements of the lifetimes of the B^0_s meson and the \Lambda_b baryon using 4.4 million hadronic Z^0 decays recorded by the OPAL detector at LEP from 1990 to 1995. A sample of B^0_s decays is obtained using…
We study the doubly charmful two-body and three-body baryonic B decays $\bar B\to \Lambda_c^+\bar \Lambda_c^-$ and $\bar B\to \Lambda_c^+\bar \Lambda_c^- \bar K$. As pointed out before, a naive estimate of the branching ratio ${\cal…
