Three decades ago, heavy-flavor-conserving (HFC) weak decays of heavy baryons such as $\Xi_Q\to\Lambda_Q\pi$ and $\Omega_Q\to\Xi_Q\pi$ for $Q=c,b$ had been studied within the framework that incorporates both heavy-quark and chiral…

Inclusive heavy-flavour decays can be described through $1/m_Q$ expansions derived from QCD with the help of an operator product expansion. I sketch their methodology and apply them first to semileptonic B decays; $|V(cb)|$ can be extracted…

We study the two-body and three-body charmful baryonic B decays: $\bar B^0\to \Lambda_c\bar p$ and $\bar B\to \Lambda_c \bar p\pi(\rho)$. The factorizable W-exchange contribution to $\bar B^0\to\Lambda_c\bar p$ is negligible. Applying the…
We study the inclusive decay widths of singly heavy baryons with the improved bag model in which the unwanted center-of-mass motion is removed. Additional insight is gained by comparing the charmed and bottom baryons. We discuss the running…

Strong decays of charmed baryons are analyzed in the framework of heavy hadron chiral perturbation theory (HHChPT) in which heavy quark symmetry and chiral symmetry are synthesized. HHChPT works excellently for describing the strong decays…
