We report recent theoretical progress in the analysis of radiative corrections in inclusive rare B-decays. In view of the B-factories, currently under construction at SLAC and KEK, and of the upgraded CESR experiment, the experimental…

We studied radiative B meson decays with the Belle detector. We measured the following branching fractions; Br(B->K*0(892)\gamma) = (49.6 \pm 6.7 \pm 4.5) x 10^{-6}, Br(B->K*+(892)\gamma) = (38.9 \pm 9.3 \pm 4.1) x 10^{-6}, Br(B->Xs\gamma)…

We investigate the physics potential of the annihilation decays $\bar{B}^0_{s,d} \to J/\psi$ $\gamma$ in the Standard Model and beyond. In naive factorization approach, the branching ratios are estimated to be $\mathcal{B}(\bar{B}^0_s \to…

V-spin symmetry ($s \leftrightarrow d$ symmetry) forbids the radiative decay $\Xi_{c2}^{0*} \rightarrow \Xi_{c1}^0 \gamma$ in the SU(3) limit. The quark mass term breaks V-spin symmetry and the leading nonanalytic contribution to the…

The decay $\Xi_b^-\to\Lambda_b^0\pi^-$ is observed using a proton-proton collision data sample collected at center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV with the LHCb detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.5 fb$^{-1}$. This…

We use the method of light-cone sum rules to study decay properties of $P$-wave bottom baryons belonging to the $SU(3)$ flavor $\mathbf{6}_F$ representation. In Ref.~\cite{Cui:2019dzj} we have studied their mass spectrum and pionic decays,…

The Cabibbo-allowed weak radiative decay $\Lambda_{c}^+\to \Sigma^+\gamma$ has been searched for in a sample of $\Lambda_{c}^+\bar{\Lambda}_{c}^-$ pairs produced in $e^+e^-$ annihilations, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $4.5…

We report the first direct observation of the strange b baryon Xi_b^{-}. We reconstruct the decay Xi_b^{-} to J/psi Xi^{-}, with J/psi to dimuons and Xi^{-} to Lambda pion, in ppbar collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV. Using 1.3 fb^{-1} of…

At LHC a large number of b-flavored baryons will be produced. In this note we propose new baryon modes to determine the photon helicity of the penguin transition $b \to s \gamma$. The decay $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \gamma$ has the drawback…

In this paper, we study radiative decays of X_b, the counterpart of the famous X(3872) in the bottomonium-sector as a candidate for meson-meson molecule, into the \gamma \Upsilon(nS) (n=1, 2, 3). Since it is likely that the X_b is below the…

The strong and radiative decays of the low-lying $S$- and $P$-wave $\Lambda_{c(b)}$, $\Sigma_{c(b)}$, $\Xi_{c(b)}$, $\Xi_{c(b)}'$ and $\Omega_{c(b)}$ baryons are systematically studied in a constituent quark model. We find that the…

I report on an updated combination of all currently available tree-level measurements of the CKM angle $\gamma$ from LHCb. This combination currently gives LHCb's most precise value of $\gamma = (73^{+9}_{-10})^\circ$ obtained from $B\to…

Inspired by the LHCb's newest observation of two new excited $\Xi_b^0$ states, we systematically study the strong decays of the low-lying $\lambda$- and $\rho$-modes $1D$-wave $\Xi_{b}$ and $\Xi^{'}_{b}$ baryons using the chiral quark model…
