The polarization of $\Lambda_b$ baryon has been measured in ALEPH, OPAL and DELPHI experiments. A significant loss on the transfer of the $b$ quark polarization to the $\Lambda_b$ baryon polarization has been noticed. This implies that the…

The $B\to \gamma \ell \nu_\ell$ decay at large energies of the photon receives a numerically important soft-overlap contribution which is formally of the next-to-leading order in the expansion in the inverse photon energy. We point out that…
Using the most general model independent form of the effective Hamiltonian the rare decay B_s->nu nu gamma is studied. The sensitivity of the photon energy distribution and branching ratio to new Wilson coefficients are investigated.
Within the Standard Model, we investigate the weak decays of $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda + \gamma$ and $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda + l^{+} l^{-}$ with the light-cone sum rules approach. The higher twist distribution amplitudes of $\Lambda$ baryon to…
The photon spectrum in the inclusive electromagnetic radiative decays of the $B$ meson, $B \to X_{s} \gamma$ plus $B \to X_{d} \gamma$, is studied using a data sample of $(382.8 \pm 4.2) \times 10^6$ $\Upsilon(4S) \to B\overli\ ne{B}$…
The rare decay B -> X_s gamma gamma is studied in the Standard Model (SM) and in two different versions (Model I and Model II) of the Two Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM). In the SM the branching ratio into ``hard photons'' is about 10^(-7) and…

The photon energy distribution in the inclusive b -> s+\gamma transitions is a combination of two components: the first component, soft physics, is determined by the so called primordial distribution function, while the second component,…
