We study $\bar B_q\to {{\rm\bf B}\bar{\rm\bf B}}' l \bar\nu$ and $\bar B_q\to {{\rm\bf B}\bar{\rm\bf B}}' \nu \bar\nu$ decays with all low lying octet and decuplet baryons using a topological amplitude approach. In tree induced $\bar B_q\to…
We studied the decays of Heavy baryon into a pseudoscalar meson and a dark baryon in the recently developed $B$-Mesogenesis scenario, where the two types of effective Lagrangians proposed by the scenario are both considered. The decay…
We calculate the invariant and helicity amplitudes for the nonleptonic decay Lambda_b -> Lambda + J/psi, psi(2S) in the covariant confined quark model. We discuss joint angular decay distributions in the cascade decay Lambda_b -> Lambda(->…
Recent results relevant for the B-physics phenomenology, obtained from lattice QCD simulations by the APE Collaboration, are reviewed. This includes the B0-B0bar mixing amplitude, B-> pi semileptonic decay and the relative width difference…
A possibility is considered of explaining the low experimental value of the ratio of the lifetimes tau(Lambda_b)/tau(B_d) by a new `centiweak' four-quark interaction, i.e with a strength on the order of 10^{-2}G_F. It is noted that the…
Within the framework of HQET, $\Lambda_{b}\rightarrow\Lambda_{c}\tau\bar{\nu}_{\tau}$ and $\Omega_{b}\rightarrow\Omega_{c}^{(*)}\tau\bar{\nu}_{\tau}$ weak decays are studied to the order of $1/m_c$ and $1/m_b$. Helicity amplitudes are…
We present the studies of the decays $B\to a_1(1260) \pi$ and $a_1(1260) K$ within the framework of QCD factorization. Due to the G-parity, unlike the vector meson, the chiral-odd two-parton light-cone distribution amplitudes of the $a_1$…
The nonlocal version of the SU(2)xSU(2) symmetric four-quark interaction of the NJL type is considered. Each of the quark lines contains the form factors. These form factors remove the ultraviolet divergences in quark loops. The additional…
We extend the approach based on the light-cone expansion and the heavy quark effective theory to the inclusive semileptonic decay of an unpolarized $b$-flavored hadron. It is applied to calculate the semileptonic decay width of the…
QCD sum rules are used to estimate the flavour SU(3)-symmetry violation in two-body B decays to pions and kaons. In the factorizable amplitudes the SU(3)-violation manifests itself in the ratio of the decay constants f_K/f_pi and in the…
The enhancement $\Delta \Gamma (\Lambda_b)$ of the $\Lambda_b$ decay rate due to four-fermion processes of weak scattering and Pauli interference is calculated within the quark model. An estimate of the relative $bu$ wave function at zero…
Quark model results for the $B\to \pi,\rho$ decays are analysed, making use of the dispersion formulation of the model: The form factors at $q^2>0$ are expressed as relativistic invariant double spectral representation over invariant masses…
The b --> s gamma transition proceeds by a loop ``penguin'' diagram. It may be used to measure precisely the couplings of the top quark and to search for the effects of any new particles appearing in the loop. We present a preliminary…
We analyze the mixing between $\Sigma^0$ and $\Lambda^0$ based on the baryon masses. We distinguish the contributions from QCD and QED in the baryon mass splittings. We find that the mixing angle between $\Sigma^0$ and $\Lambda^0$ is…
I consider a model based on a quark--meson interaction Lagrangian. The transition amplitudes are evaluated by computing diagrams in which heavy and light mesons are attached to quark loops. The light chiral symmetry relations and the heavy…
In this work, the spectra and decay properties of $B_c$ mesons ($c\bar{b}$) have been investigated using a non-relativistic potential model incorporating corrections from LQCD. The non-relativistic Schrodinger wave equation is solved…
We present results of quenched lattice calculations of the matrix elements relevant for B_d-\bar B_d and B_s-\bar B_s mixing in the Standard Model. Results for the corresponding SU(3)-breaking ratios, which can be used to constrain or…
Intrigued by a recent Belle result for a large direct CP asymmetry in $B^0\to D^+D^-$, we study the effects of a $\bar b\to \bar uu\bar d$ quark transition by combining the asymmetry information with rates and asymmetries in isospin-related…
The form factors parameterizing the B_c semileptonic matrix elements can be related to a few invariant functions if the decoupling of the spin of the heavy quarks in B_c and in the mesons produced in the semileptonic decays is exploited. We…
The work is devoted to the study of b-s anomaly decays. We evaluated branching fractions of $B\to K^\ast \mu^+\mu^-$, $B^0_s\to \phi\mu^+\mu^-$ and $B_s\to \mu^+\mu^-$ decays and compared them with available experimental data and with…
