The newly-discovered $\Xi_{cc}^{++}$ decays into the $ \Lambda_{c}^+ K^-\pi^+\pi^+$, but the experimental data has indicated that this decay is not saturated by any two-body intermediate state. In this work, we analyze the multi-body weak…

The heavy-to-heavy exclusive semileptonic transitions of singly heavy baryons (SHBs) are investigated within the framework of the Hypercentral Constituent Quark Model (hCQM). The six-dimensional hyperradial Schr\"{o}dinger equation is…
If the b and c quarks mix with new heavy quarks of weak isospin I_3 = -1 and 0 respectively, then the Z -> b b(bar) (c c(bar)) rate is necessarily greater (smaller) than that of the standard model. This may be the reason for the R_b excess…
We calculate the form factors of the $\Lambda_b\to\Lambda_c(2625)$ and $\Xi_b\to\Xi_c(2815)$ transitions, and additionally evaluate the corresponding semileptonic decays and the color-allowed two-body nonleptonic decays. In order to obtain…
Heavy-to-heavy semileptonic decays, particularly the bottom-to-charm quark transitions, are essential for testing the Standard Model (SM) and extracting the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix elements. These decays have been extensively…
The decay of $\Lambda_b\to\Sigma_c^{(*)}\pi l{\bar\nu}$ processes are calculated in the framework of heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory with help of the $1/N_c$ expansion. The decay rate distributions over $v\cdot v^{\prime}$ where $v$…

In the Standard Model of particle physics, the strength of the couplings of the $b$ quark to the $u$ and $c$ quarks, $|V_{ub}|$ and $|V_{cb}|$, are governed by the coupling of the quarks to the Higgs boson. Using data from the LHCb…
In this work, the strong decay behaviors of the $\lambda-$mode low-lying $\Xi_{b}$ and $\Xi_{b}^\prime$ baryons are investigated within the $^3P_0$ model. Our results suggest that all of the low-lying $\bar 3_F$ states $\Xi_b(2S)$,…
