We extend a chiral effective field theory approach to the $\Lambda$-nuclei interaction with the inclusion of the decuplet baryons. More precisely, we study the contributions due to the long-range two-pion exchange, with $\Sigma$ and…

In this work, we calculate the branching ratios of the color-allowed two-body nonleptonic decays of the bottom baryons, which include the $\Xi_b\to \Xi_c^{(*)}$ and $\Omega_b\to \Omega_c^{(*)}$ weak transitions by emitting a pseudoscalar…
We give best covariant amplitude decompositions for two-body decay processes involving ground state hadrons ($0^-, 1^-, {1/2}^+, {3/2}^+$) and show how these are simply related to helicity amplitudes. After discussing how electromagnetic…
After the discovery of the double-charm baryon $\Xi_{cc}^{++}$ by LHCb, one of the most important topics is to search for the bottom-charm baryons which contain a $b$ quark, a $c$ quark and a light quark. In this work, we study the two-body…
