We study nonleptonic decays of the orbitally excited, \su6 \rep{70}-plet baryons in order to test the hypothesis that the successes of the nonrelativistic quark model have a natural explanation in the large-$N_c$ limit of QCD. By working in…

In the present work we investigate the mass spectrum and semileptonic decays of double charm and bottom baryon states using the hypercentral quark model. We solve the six-dimensional Schr\"odinger equation via deep learning and particle…

A measurement of the lifetimes of the $\Omega^{0}_{c}$ and $\Xi^{0}_{c}$ baryons is reported using proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of $13\text{ TeV}$, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $5.4\text{ fb}^{-1}$…

Using data collected by the Fermilab experiment FOCUS, we measure the lifetime of the charmed baryon (\Xi_{c}^{o}) using the decay channels (\Xi_{c}^{o}\to \Xi ^{-}\pi ^{+}) and (\Xi_{c}^{o}\to \Omega ^{-}K^{+}). From a combined sample of…

We perform a preliminary study of the 1/2+ and 3/2+ ground-state baryons containing a heavy quark in the framework of the chiral SU(3) quark model. By using the calculus of variations, masses of Lambda_Q, Sigma_Q, Xi_Q, Omega_Q, Sigma_Q^*,…

In the large $N_c$ limit both heavy and light baryons are described by the universal mean field, which allows us to relate the properties of heavy baryons to light ones. With the only input from the decays of light octet baryons (due to the…

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…

We present a comprehensive study of triply heavy baryons ($\Omega_{ccc}$, $\Omega_{bbb}$, $\Omega_{bcc}$, and $\Omega_{bbc}$) within the nonrelativistic quark model, employing the Gaussian expansion method to calculate mass spectra up to…

Cabibbo-allowed two-body hadronic weak decays of bottom baryons are analyzed. Contrary to the charmed baryon sector, many channels of bottom baryon decays proceed only through the external or internal W-emission diagrams. Moreover,…

We update the Standard Model (SM) predictions for the lifetimes of the $B^+$, $B_d$ and $B_s$ mesons within the heavy quark expansion (HQE), including the recently determined NNLO-QCD corrections to non-leptonic decays of the free…

We present a model-independent study of spectator effects, which are responsible for the lifetime differences between beauty hadrons. These effects can be parametrized in terms of hadronic matrix elements of four four-quark operators. For…

We derive the imaginary part of the potential NRQCD Hamiltonian up to order 1/m^4, when the typical momentum transfer between the heavy quarks is of the order of Lambda_{QCD} or greater, and the binding energy E much smaller than…

We report a search for the doubly charmed baryon $\Xi_{cc}^{+}$ through the decay $\Xi_{cc}^{+} \to \Lambda_{c}^{+} K^{-} \pi^{+}$, using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $0.65~\mathrm{pb^{-1}}$ of $pp$ collisions…

We report the observation of the bottom, doubly-strange baryon Omega^-_b through the decay chain Omega^-_b -> J/psi Omega^-, where J/psi -> mu^+ mu^-, Omega^- -> Lambda K^-, and Lambda -> p pi^-, using 4.2 fb^{-1} of data from p\bar p…

Aiming on testing the $\Xi_c-\Xi_c'$ mixing, we study the decays of $\Xi_{cc}\to \Xi_c \pi$ with $\Xi_{cc} = (\Xi_{cc}^{++} , \Xi_{cc} ^+ )$, $\Xi_c = (\Xi_c^{(\prime)+},\Xi_c^{(\prime)0})$ and $\pi = (\pi^+ , \pi^0)$. The soft-meson limit…

Transition decay widths by one-pion emissions for excited heavy-baryons with a single heavy (charm and bottom) quark are investigated by following the heavy-quark symmetry and its breaking effects at ${\cal O}(1/M)$ for a heavy-baryon mass…

We extract the non-perturbative Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET) parameters from the inclusive semi-leptonic decay $\Lambda_c^+ \to X e^+ \nu_e$. Unlike charmed mesons produced near threshold, $\Lambda_c^+$ baryons produced in $e^+e^-$…

The analysis of singly charmed hadrons has been extended to the case of doubly charmed baryons, $\Xi_{cc}^{++}$, $\Xi_{cc}^{+}$ and $\Omega_{cc}^{+}$. Doubly charmed baryons are described as a system containing a heavy $cc$-diquark and a…

Using the expansions of the heavy meson decay widths in the heavy quark mass and QCD sum rules for estimates of corresponding matrix elements,\, we calculate the $D^{\pm,o,s}$ decay widths and the $B^{\pm,o,s}$ lifetime differences. The…
