This report introduces two recent measurements of semileptonic $b$-hadron decays at the LHCb experiment, including a test of Lepton Flavour Universality (LFU) using $\bar{B}^0 \to D^{(*)+} l^- \bar{\nu}_l$ decays where $l\in\{\mu,\tau\}$,…
In this study a systematical analysis of various polarization asymmetries in inclusive $b \rar s \ell^+ \ell^-$ decay in the standard model (SM) with four generation of quarks is carried out. We found that the various asymmetries are…
We calculate the semi-leptonic decays of $\Lambda_c$ and $\Lambda_b$ baryons which involve transitions of a heavy quark to a light quark. In a previous work we used data on the Cabibbo favoured non-leptonic decays of charmed baryons…
Recent measurements of exclusive $B^{-} \to \tau^{-}\,\nu$ and $B^0 \to \pi^{+}\,l^{-}\,\bar{\nu}_l$ decays via the $b \to u\,l\,\nu$ transition process differ from the standard model expectation and, if they persist in future $B$…
The decay mode $B\to K^*\ell^+\ell^-$ is one of the most promising modes to probe physics beyond the standard model (SM), since the angular distribution of the decay products enable measurement of several constraining observables. LHCb has…
In this work, we analyze the semileptonic decay processes of $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c$ in the light-cone sum rule approach. In order to calculate the form factors of the $\Lambda_b$ baryon transition matrix element, we use the light-cone…
We study the rare decay $B\to K_2^\ast(1430)(\to K\pi)\ell^+\ell^-$ in the Standard Model and beyond. Working in the transversity basis, we exploit the relations between the heavy-to-light form factors in the limit of heavy quark ($m_b\to…
The rare Hyperon decay $\Sigma^+ \to p \ell^+ \ell^-$ is an $s \to d$ flavour changing neutral current process, which is highly suppressed within the Standard Model, and is therefore sensitive to new physics. Due to recent improvements in…
We report the observation of the baryonic decay $\bar{B}^0 \to \Lambda^+_c \bar{p} K^- K^+$ using a data sample of $471 \times 10^6$ $B\bar{B}$ pairs produced in $e^+e^-$ annihilations at $\sqrt{s}=10.58 \mathrm{\,GeV}$. This data sample…
Rare $\Lambda_b\to\Lambda l^+l^-$ and $\Lambda_b\to\Lambda\gamma$ decays are investigated in the relativistic quark model based on the quark-diquark picture of baryons. The decay form factors are calculated with the account of all…
Angular distribution of the final particles in the decay $\Lambda_c^+\to K^- \, \Delta (1232)^{++} \to K^- \, p \, \pi^+$ of the polarized charmed baryon is discussed. Asymmetries are proposed which allow for determination of the components…
To shed light on the indirect search for new physics beyond the standard model, the long standing discrepancies between the theory and experiment mediated by FCNC $b\to s \ell \ell$ quark level transitions set an ideal testing ground.…
A search is performed for the charmless three-body decays of the $\Lambda_b^0$ and $\Xi_b^0$ baryons to the final states $\Lambda h^+h^{\prime -}$, where $h^{(\prime)} = \pi$ or $K$. The analysis is based on a data sample, corresponding to…

Rare semileptonic $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ transitions provide some of the most promising frameworks to search for new physics effects. Recent analyses of these decays have indicated an anomalous behaviour in measurements of angular…
Using the most general, model independent form of effective Hamiltonian, the transverse polarization P_T of Lambda in Lambda_b -> Lambda l^+ l^- decay is studied. It is observed that the averaged <P_T> is very sensitive to the existence of…
