We study the semileptonic $B\to{\bf B\bar B'}L\bar L'$ decays with $\bf B\bar B'$ ($L\bar L'$) representing a baryon (lepton) pair. Using the new determination of the $B\to{\bf B\bar B'}$ transition form factors, we obtain ${\cal B}(B^-\to…
Our study focuses on the $\Lambda$-type P-wave bottom baryon states with the spin-parity $J^P=\frac{1}{2}^-$, $\frac{3}{2}^-$. We introduce an explicit P-wave between the two light quarks in the interpolating currents (and the two light…
Baryon number is conserved in the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. Baryon Number Violation (BNV) is one of the criteria to explain the matter anti-matter asymmetry of the universe. Various beyond the SM (BSM) scenarios motivate BNV.…

We present the first direct calculation on the gravitational form factors (GFFs) of the $N \rightarrow \Delta$ transition using an analytic method, the QCD light-cone sum rules. The matrix element of the quark part of the energy momentum…
We predict contributions of higher $K$-resonances to the radiative rare decays $b\to s\gamma$, in the framework of the QCD sum rules on the light cone, which combines the traditional QCD sum rule method with the description of final state…
The photoleptonic decay $B^-\to \gamma \ell^-\bar{\nu}$ is the simplest low-energy process that probes the substructure of the $B$ meson, making it an excellent candidate to determine the parameters of $B$-meson light-cone distribution…
In this work we calculate the branching ratios of semi-leptonic and non-leptonic decays of $\Lambda_b$ into light baryons ($p$ and $\Lambda$), as well as the measurable asymmetries which appear in the processes, in the light front quark…
In the covariant light-front quark model, we investigate the form factors of $B_c$ decays into $D, D^*, D_s, D_s^*, \eta_c, J/\psi, B, B^*, B_s, B_s^*$ mesons. The form factors in the spacelike region $q^2<0$ are directly evaluated. To…
