We present measurements of the Lambda^0_b lifetime in the exclusive decay channel Lambda^0_{b}->J/psi Lambda^0, with J/psi to mu+ mu- and Lambda^0 to p pi-, the B^0 lifetime in the decay B^0 -> J/psi K^0_S with J/psi to mu+ mu- and K^0_S to…
We have measured the Lambda_b lifetime using the exclusive decay Lambda_b to J/psi Lambda, based on 1.2 fb-1 of data collected with the D0 detector during 2002-2006. From 171 reconstructed Lambda_b decays, where the J/psi and Lambda are…
A collider signal with a stable gravitino of ${\cal O}(10)$eV mass at the International Linear Collider (ILC) experiment is investigated. Such a light gravitino is generally predicted in the low-scale gauge mediation scenario of the…

High yield of strange particle production per central collision in nucleus-nucleus collisions at RHIC and high statistics data set from STAR experiment allow us to measure \Lambda\Lambda correlations. The \Lambda\Lambda correlation…

We show that the measured yield ratio $^3_{\Lambda}$H/$^3$He ($^3_{\overline{\Lambda}}\overline{\text{H}}$/$^3\overline{\text{He}}$) in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV and in Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.76$ TeV can be…
We probe for evidence of invisible neutrino decay in the latest NOvA and T2K data. It is seen that both NOvA and T2K data sets are better fitted when one allows for invisible neutrino decay. We consider a scenario where only the third…

We study the lifetimes and inclusive semileptonic decay widths of doubly heavy baryons within the framework of heavy quark expansion. Our analysis includes next-to-leading-order corrections to the dimension-3, -5, and -6 operators, together…
Nuclei with $A>282$ have been studied in the Relativistic Mean Field approach using the force FSU Gold and a zero range pairing interaction. The Euler-Lagrange equations have been solved in the co-ordinate space. Alpha nucleus potential has…
To reduce the current theory uncertainties a novel way to determine the $B_c$ lifetime, $\tau_{B_c}$, is proposed. Taking the difference of the $B_c$, and $B$ and $D$ meson decay rates eliminates the leading contributions from the…
The lifetimes of the consecutive $\alpha$ decay chains of recently synthesized new element 115, $^{287}115$ and $^{288}115$, have been calculated theoretically within the WKB approximation using microscopic $\alpha$-nucleus interaction…
We review the theoretical status of the lifetime ratios $\tau_{B^+} / \tau_{B_d}$ and $\tau_{B_s} / \tau_{B_d}$ and of the mixing quantities $\Delta M_s$, $\Delta \Gamma_s$ and $\phi_s$. We show that the ratio $\Delta \Gamma_s / \Delta M_s$…
In this work, we present a calculation of the triton $\beta$-decay lifetime using Nuclear Lattice Effective Field Theory (NLEFT) at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order in the chiral expansion. By incorporating a non-perturbative treatment…
The experimental bound on lifetime of nu_3, the neutrino mass eigenstate with the smallest nu_e component, is much weaker than those of nu_1 and nu_2 by many orders of magnitude to which the astrophysical constraints apply. We argue that…

Theoretical descriptions for the nonleptonic decays of heavy flavour hadrons have emerged that incorporate non-perturbative corrections in a systematic way and are genuinely based on QCD. One can reproduce $\tau (D^+)/\tau (D^0)$,…
In ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions a great variety of (anti-)(hyper-)nuclei are produced, namely deuteron, triton, $^3$He, $^4$He, hypertriton ($^3_{\Lambda}$H) and their antiparticles. The ALICE experiment is the most suited to…
