Using a sample of $1.31\times10^9$ $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the electron-positron collider BEPCII, we analyse the full $J/\psi \to$ $\Xi^-\overline{\Xi}^+$, $\Xi^-\to \Lambda \pi^-$, $\Lambda\to p\pi^-$,…

In this work, we perform a analysis of semi-leptonic and nonleptonic weak decays of heavy baryons: $\Lambda_{b},\Xi_{b},\Omega_{b}$ and $\Lambda_{c},\Xi_{c},\Omega_{c}$. For nonleptonic decay modes, we study only the factorizable channels…

FCNC processes offer important tools to test the Standard Model (SM), and to search for possible new physics. In this work, we investigate the $s\to d\nu\bar{\nu}$ rare hyperon decays in SM and beyond. We find that in SM the branching…

We study the four-body semileptonic baryonic decay of $B^-\to \Lambda\bar p\nu\bar \nu$ in the standard model. We find that the decay branching ratio is $(7.9\pm 1.9)\times 10^{-7}$. Similar to the rare decays of $B^-\to K^{(*)-}\nu\bar…

The first observation of $CP$ violation in baryon decays was recently reported by the LHCb collaboration in $\Lambda_b^0\to pK^-\pi^+\pi^-$ with $A_{CP} = (2.45 \pm 0.46 \pm 0.10)\%$, which inspires the study on baryon non-leptonic decays.…

The rare Hyperon decay $\Sigma^+ \to p \ell^+ \ell^-$ is an $s \to d$ flavour changing neutral current process, which is highly suppressed within the Standard Model, and is therefore sensitive to new physics. Due to recent improvements in…

The study of $CP$ violation in hyperon transitions has a long history. In the early 2000s the HyperCP experiment made a major effort to seek $CP$-odd signals in the decay sequence $\Xi^-\to\Lambda \pi^-$ and $\Lambda\to p\pi^-$, which…

In this talk I review theoretical predictions for CP violation in non-leptonic hyperon decays in the Standard Model and models beyond. In the Standard Model the CP violating observable $A$ in the polarization asymmetries of $\Lambda \to p…
