In $\Lambda_b^0 \to \Lambda_c^+ (\to \Lambda^0 \pi^+) \tau^- \bar{\nu}_\tau $ decay, the solid angle of the final-state particle $\tau^-$ cannot be determined precisely since the decay products of the $\tau^-$ include an undetected…

We study the non-leptonic two-body weak decays of $\Lambda_b^0 \to p M$ with $ M=(\pi^-,K^-)$ and $(\rho^-,K^{*-})$ in the light-front quark model under the generalized factorization ansatz. By considering the Fermi statistic between quarks…

We examine the three-body baryonic $\bar B\to {\bf B\bar B'}V$ decays with $V$ vector mesons in the standard model. We can simultaneously explain the recent experimental data on the decays of $B^-\to \Lambda\bar p \,\rho^0$ and $\bar B\to…

The experimental uncertainty on the branching fraction $\b(\Lambda_c \to p K^- \pi^+) = (5.0 \pm 1.3)%$ has not decreased since 1998, despite a much larger data sample. Uncertainty in this quantity dominates that in many other quantities,…

We use our lattice QCD computation of the $B_c\rightarrow J/\psi$ form factors to determine the differential decay rate for the semitauonic decay channel and construct the ratio of branching fractions $R(J/\psi) = \mathcal{B}(B_c^-…

We study the semileptonic decay of its SU(3) partner, the $\Lambda_c \to \Lambda \ell^+ \nu_\ell$ ($\ell = e, \mu$) transition, within the framework of light-cone QCD sum rules (LCSR) by using the distribution amplitudes of heavy…

We study the charmless two-body $\Lambda_b\to \Lambda (\phi,\eta^{(\prime)})$ and three-body $\Lambda_b\to \Lambda K^+K^- $ decays. We obtain ${\cal B}(\Lambda_b\to \Lambda\phi)=(3.53\pm 0.24)\times 10^{-6}$ to agree with the recent LHCb…
