With the diquark structure of Lambda_c, we investigate the branching ratios of Lambda_c -> n pi^+ and p pi^0. The results show that without considering the final state interaction (FSI), the branching ration of Lambda_c -> p pi^+ is only of…

We study nonleptonic Lambda_b -> Lambda_c pi, Sigma_c pi and Sigma_c^* pi decays in the limit m_b, m_c, E_pi >> Lambda_{QCD} using the soft-collinear effective theory. Here Sigma_c = Sigma_c(2455) and Sigma_c^* = Sigma_c(2520). At leading…

We have measured the weak decay asymmetry parameters ($\aLC $) for two \LC\ decay modes. Our measurements are $\aLC = -0.94^{+0.21+0.12}_{-0.06-0.06} $ for the decay mode $\Lambda_c^+ \to \Lambda\pi^+ $ and $\aLC = -0.45\pm 0.31 \pm 0.06$…

In recent times, several hints of lepton non-universality have been observed in semileptonic $B$ meson decays, both in the charged-current ($b \to c l \bar \nu_l$) and neutral-current ($b \to s ll $) transitions. Motivated by these…

We study decay rates and spectra of anti-B --> Lambda anti-p pi, Sigma0 anti-p pi, Sigma- anti-n pi, Xi0 anti-Sigma+ pi, Xi- anti-Sigma0 pi and Xi- anti-Lambda pi modes under a factorization approach. The baryon pairs are produced through…

In this work we investigate the weak $\Lambda_{b}\to\Lambda_c$ semi-leptonic and non-leptonic decays. The light-front quark model and diquark picture for heavy baryons are adopted to evaluate the $\Lambda_{b}\to\Lambda_c$ transition form…

We examine the three-body baryonic $\bar B\to {\bf B\bar B'}V$ decays with $V$ vector mesons in the standard model. We can simultaneously explain the recent experimental data on the decays of $B^-\to \Lambda\bar p \,\rho^0$ and $\bar B\to…

In this work, we perform a analysis of semi-leptonic and nonleptonic weak decays of heavy baryons: $\Lambda_{b},\Xi_{b},\Omega_{b}$ and $\Lambda_{c},\Xi_{c},\Omega_{c}$. For nonleptonic decay modes, we study only the factorizable channels…

We analyze the two-body nonleptonic weak decays of charmed baryons, employing the pole approximation in tandem with the $SU(3)_F$ symmetry. We are able to make novel predictions for decay channels of $\Omega_c^0 \to {\bf B}_n P$ and ${\bf…

We calculate the CP-averaged branching ratios and CP-violating asymmetries of a number of two-body charmless hadronic decays $\bar{B_s^0} \to PP, PV, VV$ in the perturbative QCD (pQCD) approach to leading order in $\alpha_s$ (here $P$ and…

We study the three-body baryonic $B\to {\bf B\bar B'}M$ decays with $M$ representing the $\eta$ or $\eta'$ meson. Particularly, we predict that ${\cal B}(B^-\to\Lambda\bar p\eta,\Lambda\bar p\eta')=(5.3\pm 1.4,3.3\pm 0.7)\times 10^{-6}$ or…

We calculate the two body Cabibbo allowed non-leptonic decays of charmed baryons $\Lambda_c$ and $\Xi_c$ which involve transitions of a heavy quark to a light quark. We use data on the Cabbibo favoured non-leptonic decays $\Lambda_c…

Non-conservation of CP symmetry can manisfest itself in non-leptonic hyperon decays as a difference in the decay parameter between the strange-baryon decay and its charge conjugate. By comparing the decay distribution in the $\Lambda$…
