The decay $D_s^+\to p \bar p e^+\nu_e$ with a proton-antiproton pair in the final state is unique in the sense that it is the only semileptonic baryonic decay which is physically allowed in the charmed meson sector. Its measurement will…
The strangeness-changing ($\Delta S = 1$) weak baryon-baryon interaction is studied through the nonmesonic weak decay of double-$\Lambda$ hypernuclei. Besides the usual nucleon-induced decay $\Lambda N \to N N$ we discuss novel…
The discovery of $\Xi_{cc}^{++}$ has inspired new interest in studying doubly heavy baryons. In this study, the weak decays of a doubly charmed baryon ${\cal B}_{cc}$ to a light baryon ${\cal B}$ and a charm meson $D^{(*)}$ (either a…
The baryonic decay $D^+_s\rightarrow p\bar{n}$ is observed, and the corresponding branching fraction is measured to be $(1.21\pm0.10\pm0.05)\times10^{-3}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and second systematic. The data sample…
There are two apparent puzzles connected with the two-body and three-body doubly charmed baryonic B decays. First, earlier calculations based on QCD sum rules or the diquark model predict $Br(\bar B^0\to\Xi_c^+\bar\Lambda_c^-)\approx…
After the discovery of the double-charm baryon $\Xi_{cc}^{++}$ by LHCb, one of the most important topics is to search for the bottom-charm baryons which contain a $b$ quark, a $c$ quark and a light quark. In this work, we study the two-body…
The status of exclusive two-body and three-body baryonic B decays is reviewed. The threshold enhancement effect in the dibaryon invariant mass and the angular distributions in the dibaryon rest frame are stressed and explained. Weak…
We study the three-body decays \(\Lambda_b \to D^+ D^- \Lambda,~D^0D_s^- p,~D_s^+D_s^-\Lambda\), considering both internal and external emission mechanisms that produce various meson-baryon final states. Using a unitarized coupled-channel…
In the quark-diagram scheme, we study the charmed baryon decays of ${\bf B}_c\to {\bf B}^* M$, where ${\bf B}_c$ is $\Lambda_c^+$ or $\Xi_c^{+(0)}$, together with ${\bf B}^*$ ($M$) the decuplet baryon (pseudoscalar meson). It is found that…
Using the topological-diagram approach based on $SU(3)$ flavor symmetry, we investigate two-body $\Lambda_c^+\to {\bf B}S$ decays, where ${\bf B}$ denotes the final-state baryon and $S$ refers to a light scalar meson, such as…
The transition form factors of $\bar B_s^0\to D_{s}^+(2317)$ and $\bar B_s^0\to D_s^+(1968)$ at large recoil region are investigated in the light cone sum rules approach, where the heavy quark effective theory is adopted to describe the…
In decay modes $B^0 \to D_s^{(*)+} D_s^{(*)-}$ and $B_s^0 \to D^{(*)+} D^{(*)-}$, none of quarks in final states is the same as one of $B$ meson. They can occur only via annihilation diagrams in the Standard Model. In the heavy quark limit,…
Using a $3.19~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ data sample collected at the $\sqrt{s}~=~4.178$ GeV with the BESIII detector, we search for the rare decay $D_{s}^{+} \rightarrow p \bar{p} e^{+} \nu_{e} $. No significant signal is observed, and an upper…
We report the results of a search for the rare baryonic decays $B^0 \to p\bar{p}$, $\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}$, and $B^+ \to p\bar{\Lambda}$. The analysis is based on a data set of $31.7\times 10^6 B\bar{B}$ events collected by the Belle…
Two-body hadronic weak decays of the charmed baryon $\Omega_c$, including Cabibbo-favored (CF), singly Cabibbo-suppressed (SCS) and doubly Cabibbo-suppressed (DCS) modes, are studied systematically in this work. To estimate nonfactorizable…
We study the rates and direct CP violations of two-body baryonic $\bar B_{u,d,s}\to {{\rm\bf B}\overline{\rm\bf B}}'$ and $B^-_c\to{{\rm\bf B}\overline{\rm\bf B}}'$ decays, where the final state baryons include low-lying octet and decuplet…
We study the two-body anti-triplet charmed baryon decays of ${\bf B}_c\to {\bf B}_n V$, with ${\bf B}_c=(\Xi_c^{0},-\Xi_c^{+},\Lambda_c^+)$ and ${\bf B}_n(V)$ the baryon (vector meson) states. Based on the $SU(3)$ flavor symmetry, we…

We study the charmful three-body baryonic B decays $\bar B\to D^{(*)}N\bar N$: the color-allowed modes $\bar B^0\to D^{(*)+}n\bar p$ and the color-suppressed ones $\bar B^0\to D^{(*)0}p\bar p$. While the $D^{*+}/D^+$ production ratio is…
Using data collected by the CLEO detector in the Upsilon(4S) region, we report new measurements of the exclusive decays of B mesons into final states of the type Lambda_c^+ p-bar n(pi), where n=0,1,2,3. We find signals in modes with one,…
