We study singly Cabibbo-suppressed two-body hadronic decays of the charmed baryon $\Lambda_c^+$, namely, $\Lambda_c^+\to \Lambda K^+, p\pi^0, p\eta, n\pi^+,\Sigma^0K^+,\Sigma^+ K^0$. We use the measured rate of $\Lambda_c^+\to p\phi$ to fix…
We study two-body weak decays of charmed baryons \Lambda_c and \Xi_c into an octet or decuplet baryon and a pseudoscalar meson employing the SU(3) flavor symmetry. Using certain measured Cabibbo-favored modes, we fix the reduced amplitudes…
We study the $K^0_S-K^0_L$ asymmetries and $CP$ violations in charm-baryon decays with neutral kaons in the final state. The $K^0_S-K^0_L$ asymmetry can be used to search for two-body doubly Cabibbo-suppressed amplitudes of charm-baryon…
In the recent years, fruitful results on charmed baryons are obtained by BESIII, Belle and LHCb. We investigate the two-body non-leptonic decays of charmed baryons in the flavor $SU(3)$ symmetry. Hundreds of amplitude relations are clearly…
We study charmless two-body baryonic B decays in a diagramatic approach. Relations on decay amplitudes are obtained. In general there are more than one tree and more than one penguin amplitudes. The number of independent amplitudes can be…
Direct CP violation in the hadronic charm decays provides a good testing ground for the Kobayashi-Maskawa mechanism in the Standard Model. Any significant deviations from the expectation would be indirect evidence of physics beyond the…
Evidence of CP violation in the charm sector has been observed recently by the LHCb and CDF Collaborations. Adopting the topological diagram approach, we study flavor SU(3) symmetry breaking effects in the weak decay tree amplitudes of…
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…
Motivated by the recent LHCb observation of doubly-charmed baryon $\Xi_{cc}^{++}$ in the $\Lambda_c^+ K^-\pi^+\pi^+$ final state, we analyze the weak decays of doubly heavy baryons $\Xi_{cc}$, $\Omega_{cc}$, $\Xi_{bc}$, $\Omega_{bc}$,…
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…
The LHCb Collaboration announced the observation of doubly charmed baryon through $\Xi_{c c}^{++} \rightarrow \Lambda_{c}^{+} K^{-} \pi^{+} \pi^{+}$ in 2017. Since then, a series of studies of doubly heavy baryons have been presented.…
We discuss a method for extracting CP phases from pairs of B decays which are related by flavor SU(3). One decay (B0 -> M1 M2) receives a significant bbar -> dbar penguin contribution. The second (B' -> M1' M2') has a significant bbar ->…
We study the two-body anti-triplet charmed baryon decays based on the diagrammatic approach with $SU(3)$ flavor symmetry. We extract the two $W$-exchange effects as $E_{\bf B}$ and $E^\prime$ that contribute to the $\Lambda_c^+ \to \Xi^0…
Two recently discovered excited charm baryons are studied within the framework of Heavy Hadron Chiral Perturbation Theory. We interpret these new baryons which lie $308 \MeV$ and $340 \MeV$ above the $\Lambda_c$ as $I=0$ members of a P-wave…
The doubly charmed baryon decay $\Xi_{cc}^{++} \rightarrow \Xi_{c}^{+} \pi^{+}$ is observed for the first time, with a statistical significance of $5.9\sigma$, confirming a recent observation of the baryon in the $\Lambda_c^{+} K^{-}…
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…
Motivated by the recent CPV observation, we investigate the CPV of b-baryon charmless four body decays under the U-spin symmetry. However, we find that only U-spin symmetry cannot provide effective predictions, particularly for $\Lambda_b$…
Full expressions of the $B^0_d \to \pi^+ \pi^-$ and $B^0_d \to \pi^0 \pi^0$ amplitudes, given in terms of matrix elements of operators of the effective weak Hamiltonian, are used to study the dependence of the relevant branching ratios on…
Using 29.1fb-1 of data accumulated at the Upsilon(4S) with the Belle detector at KEKB, we have studied the decay modes B0bar->Lambda_c+ pbar pi+pi-, B- -> Lambda_c+ pbar pi-, and B0bar ->Lambda_c+ pbar. We report branching fractions of…
It is a long-standing puzzle why the {\it CP} violation (CPV) in the baryon system has not yet been definitively established as in the meson one. We demonstrate that individual partial-wave CPV in the $\Lambda_b\to p\pi^-$ and $pK^-$ decays…
