We calculate the $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c^*(2595) l \nu$ and $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c^*(2625) l \nu$ form factors and decay rates for all possible $b \to c l \bar\nu$ four-Fermi interactions in and beyond the Standard Model (SM), including…
We compute semi-leptonic $B_s$ decay form factors using Heavy Quark Effective Theory on the lattice. To obtain good control of the $1/m_b$ expansion, one has to take into account not only the leading static order but also the terms arising…
I review the parametrisation of the full set of $\Lambda_b\to\Lambda^* (1520)$ form factors in the framework of Heavy Quark Expansion, including next-to-leading-order $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_s)$ and, for the first time, next-to-leading-power…

The rare baryonic decays $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \mu^+ \mu^-$ and $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \gamma$ can complement rare $B$ meson decays in constraining models of new physics. In this work, we calculate the relevant $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda$…
We report on a recent computation of the form factors in semi-leptonic decays of the $\mathrm{B}_\mathrm{s}$ using Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET) formalism applied on the lattice. The connection of the form factors with the 2-point and…
Measurements of the $\Lambda_b \to p \ell^- \bar{\nu}_\ell$ and $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c \ell^- \bar{\nu}_\ell$ decay rates can be used to determine the magnitudes of the CKM matrix elements $V_{ub}$ and $V_{cb}$, provided that the relevant…
In this work we use the heavy-quark-light-diquark picture to study the semileptonic decay $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c+l+\bar{\nu}_l$ in the so-called hybrid scheme. Namely, we apply the heavy quark effective theory (HQET) for larger $q^2$…
The matrix element of the weak transition {\Lambda}_b\rightarrow{\Lambda}_c can be expressed in terms of six form factors. {\Lambda}_Q(Q = b;c) can be regarded as composed of a heavy quark Q(Q = b;c) and a diquark which is made up of the…
We calculate the transition form factors that occur in heavy $\Lambda$-type baryon semileptonic decays as e.g. in $\Lambda_{b} \to \Lambda_{c}^{+} + l^{-} + \bar{\nu}_{l} $. We use Bauer-Stech-Wirbel type infinite momentum frame wave…
The shape function of $B$-meson defined in heavy quark effective theory (HQET) plays a crucial role in the analysis of inclusive $B$ decays, and constitutes one of the dominant uncertainties in the determination of CKM matrix element…
Using $(2+1)$-flavor lattice QCD, we compute the 10 form factors describing the $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda$ matrix elements of the $b \to s$ vector, axial vector, and tensor currents. The calculation is based on gauge field ensembles generated…
We postulate a supplemental power counting within the heavy quark effective theory, that results in a small, highly-constrained set of second-order power corrections, compared to the standard approach. We determine all $\bar{B} \to D^{(*)}$…

Hadronic form factors for semileptonic decay of the $\Lambda_c$ are calculated in a nonrelativistic quark model. The full quark model wave functions are employed to numerically calculate the form factors to all relevant orders in ($1/m_c$,…
Two body non-leptonic decays:Lambda_b-->Lambda_c P(V) are investigated. Baryon form factors of the heavy quark effective theory are employed. Form factors for renormalization in full QCD are also considered. We find that contributions of…
The heavy-quark expansion for inclusive semi-leptonic B decays introduces $\bar{\Lambda}$ and $\lambda_1$, which are matrix elements in heavy-quark effective field theory. We review how they can be obtained from an analysis of the heavy…
We use heavy quark effective theory (HQET) and perturbative QCD to study the heavy meson -- light vector meson transitions involved in D and B decays. HQET is used to relate the measured D -> K* l nu vector and axial-vector form factors at…
