We investigate the influence of the fourth generation of quarks on the branching ratio, the CP-asymmetry and the polarization asymmetries in $B \rar \rho \ell^+ \ell^-$ decay. Taking $|V_{t'd}V_{t'b}|\sim 0.001$ with phase about $10^\circ$,…
Compact analytic expressions have been obtained for the first order perturbative QCD corrections to the inclusive spectra of the leptons in the semileptonic decays of polarised heavy quarks. Charmed and beautiful $\Lambda$ baryons from…

Angular distributions of a B meson decaying into two vector mesons are discussed with emphasis on time evolution effects on the complete set of amplitude bilinears. Time integrated quantities are suggested to observe substantial CP…
Quark and pole models of nonleptonic decays of charmed baryons are analysed from the point of view of their symmetry properties. The symmetry structure of the parity conserving amplitudes that corresponds to the contribution of the…
We study the CP-odd and CP-even observables of the $B$ mesons decaying into a baryon and antibaryon. We estimate these observables through the $^3P_0$ model and chiral selection rule. The decay branching ratios of $ B^+ \to p…

Using the CLEO detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we have studied the distribution of kinematic variables in the decay Lambda_c^+ -> Lambda e^+ nu_e. By performing a four-dimensional maximum likelihood fit, we determine the form…
Recently, the Belle and LHCb Collaborations have measured the $\Lambda^+_c \to p K^- \pi^+$ decay and reported the $p K^-$ invariant mass distribution, which shows a clear cusp structure around the $\eta \Lambda$ threshold. In this work, we…
CP violation (CPV) in the baryon sectors has not yet been established experimentally. In this work, we propose to search for the hyperon CPV through the Cabibbo-favored charm-baryon decaying processes involving a hyperon in the final…
We report a study of the decay $B^0\rightarrow D K^+\pi^-$ followed by $D\rightarrow K^-\pi^+$, where $D$ indicates $D^0$ or $\bar{D}^0$. We reconstruct the $D K^+\pi^-$ state in a phase space corresponding to $D K^{*}(892)^0$. The…
Using data recorded by the CLEO III detector at CESR, we report on the first measurements of the branching fractions for decays of the Lambda_c^+ charmed baryon into (Lambda pi+ pi+ pi- pi0) and (Lambda omega pi+). All rates are measured…
At the kinematic endpoint of zero recoil physical momenta are parallel which leads to symmetries in the decay distributions. We implement this observation for decays of the type $A \to (B_1 B_2) C$ by extending the helicity formalism to…
We study weak radiative $|\Delta c|=|\Delta u|=1$ decays of the charmed anti-triplett ($\Lambda_c$, $\Xi_c^{+}$, $\Xi_c^{0}$) and sextet ($\Sigma_c^{++}$, $\Sigma_c^+$, $\Sigma_c^0$, $\Xi_c^{\prime +}$, $\Xi_c^{\prime 0}$, $\Omega_c$)…

Rare decays $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \gamma$ and $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda l^{+} l^{-}$ (l= e, $\mu$) are examined. We use QCD sum rules to calculate the hadronic matrix elements governing the decays. The $\Lambda$ polarization in the decays is…
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…
A study of $\Lambda_b^0$ baryon decays to the $DpK^-$ final state is presented based on a proton-proton collision data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the LHCb detector. Two $\Lambda_b^0$…
We discuss the production via fragmentation of excited heavy mesons and baryons, and their subsequent decay. In particular, we consider the question of whether a net polarization of the initial heavy quark may be detected, either in a…
In the presence of an electric dipole coupling of $t \bar t$ to a photon, and an analogous ``weak" dipole coupling to the $Z$, $CP$ violation in the process $e^+e^- \rightarrow t \bar t$ leads to the polarization of the top and anti-top.…
