Branching ratios observed for $D$ and B decays to final states $a_1(1260)^{\pm} X$ are comparable to those for corresponding decays to $\pi^{\pm} X$ and $\rho^{\pm} X$ and much larger than those for all other decays. Implications are…
It is usually assumed that the production of baryons in $B$ meson decays is induced primarily by the quark level process $b\to c\bar ud$, where the charm quark hadronizes into a charmed baryon. With this assumption, the $\Lambda_c$ momentum…
I describe a model for heavy meson decays based on an effective quark-meson lagrangian. I consider the heavy mesons S with spin and parity J^P=(1+,0+), H with J^P=(1-,0-) and T^mu with J^P=(2+,1+), i.e. S and P wave heavy-light mesons. The…
In the framework of the relativized quark model, the calculation of spin-orbit interactions is improved by considering the contribution from the light quark cluster in a singly heavy baryon. It modifies the energy level splitting of the…
We study the form factor f_+^H (H=D,B) involved in H-\pi transitions. We use data on D^0 \to \pi^- l^+ \nu to find f_+^D at low recoil. Then we use perturbative QCD methods to calculate at larger recoil the contributions to f_+^H that break…
Weak current-induced baryonic form factors at zero recoil are evaluated in the rest frame of the heavy parent baryon using the nonrelativistic quark model. Contrary to previous similar work in the literature, our quark model results do…
With a distinctive internal structure from all established hadrons, the beauty-charmed baryons $\Xi_{bc}$ can provide us with new points of view to decipher the strong interaction. In this work, we point out that the inclusive $\Xi_{bc} \to…
Heavy quark spin symmetry is discussed in the context of single and doubly heavy baryons. A special attention is paid to the constraints/simplifications that this symmetry imposes on the non-relativistic constituent quark model wave…
We construct an effective hadronic model including single heavy baryons (SHBs) belonging to the $(\mathbf{3},\mathbf{3})$ representation under $\mbox{SU}(3)_L \times \mbox{SU}(3)_R$ symmetry, respecting the chiral symmetry and heavy-qaurk…
We study the doubly charmed baryonic B decays $B\to \Xi_{c} \Lambda_{c}$ and $B\to \Lambda^{+}_{c} \Lambda^{-}_{c} K$, recently observed by BELLE. We find that the unexpected large branching ratios (BRs) could be ascribed to the final state…
We discuss various topics in the theory of heavy baryon decays. Among these are recent applications of the Relativistic Three Quark Model to semileptonic, nonleptonic, one-pion and one-photon transitions among heavy baryons, new higher…
We have systematically calculated the strong decays of the low-lying $\rho$-mode $1P$-wave $\Lambda_{c(b)}$, $\Sigma_{c(b)}$, $\Xi_{c(b)}$, $\Xi^{'}_{c(b)}$, $\Omega_{c(b)}$ baryons using the chiral quark model within the $j$-$j$ coupling…
We analyze weak decays of triply heavy baryon $\Omega_{ccc}^{++}$ and calculate the form factors for $\Omega_{ccc}^{++}\to \Xi_{cc}^{++}/\Omega_{cc}^+$ transitions in a light front quark model. The momentum distributions in form factors are…
Heavy quark symmetry and its breaking in strong decays of P-wave heavy-light mesons are examined within the EHQ's method. The consistence of theory with experiments indicates that the breaking of heavy quark symmetry in the two-body strong…
We investigate the semileptonic decays of baryons containing double charm or double bottom quarks, focusing on their transitions to single heavy baryons through three-point QCD sum rule framework. In our calculations, we take into account…
The rare inclusive decay $\bar{B}\rightarrow X_s\gamma$ is an important probe of physics beyond the standard model. The largest uncertainty on the decay rate and CP asymmetry comes from operators that appear at order $1/m_b$ in the heavy…
Semileptonic decays of heavy baryons consisting of one heavy (Q=b,c) and two light (q=u,d,s) quarks are considered in the heavy-quark--light-diquark approximation. The relativistic quasipotential equation is used for obtaining masses and…
In this paper, we study rare semileptonic decays of B_c meson in the context of type-I, II, and III two Higgs doublet model. We follow the relativistic quark model for parameterizing the form factors used in matrix elements of weak…

The semileptonic decays of the lowest-lying double-heavy baryons is treated in a quark model. For the $\Xi_{bb}$, hyperfine mixing in the spin wave function leaves the total rate for decay into the lowest lying daughter baryons essentially…
