The LHCb experiment is capable of studying four-body decays of the $b$-flavored baryons $\Lambda_b$ and $\Xi_b^0$ to charmless final states consisting of charged pions, kaons, and baryons. We remark on the search in such modes for…
In this work, we evaluate the lifetimes of the doubly charmed baryons $\Xi_{cc}^{+}$, $\Xi_{cc}^{++}$ and $\Omega_{cc}^{+}$. We carefully calculate the non-spectator contributions at the quark level where the Cabibbo-suppressed diagrams are…
Recent results on baryonic B decays from the two b-factories, BABAR and Belle, are presented. These include studies of B+ to p pbar pi+, B+ to p Lambdabar gamma and B0 to p Lambdabar pi-; observations of B+ to p Lambdabar pi0, B to…
We report on recent measurements, from the BaBar and Belle experiments, of B-meson decays to purely hadronic final states that do not contain charm. The studies are based on large samples of BBbar pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) or…
We present the first experimental search for the rare charm decay $D^{0} \to \pi^{0} \nu \bar{\nu}$. It is based on an $e^+e^-$ collision sample consisting of $10.6\times10^{6}$ pairs of $D^0\bar{D}^0$ mesons collected by the BESIII…
In this work we study the doubly charmed baryon decays $\Xi_{cc}^{++}\to\Xi_c^{(\prime)+}\pi^+$ within the framework of the non-relativistic quark model (NRQM). Factorizable amplitudes are expressed in terms of transition form factors,…
Our analysis suggests that the charmless yield in B decays is enhanced over traditional estimates. The c c.bar pair produced in b to c c.bar transitions may be seen significantly as light hadrons due to non-perturbative effects. Existing…
We present the selected recent charm results at Belle: (1) the $CP$ asymmetries and branching fractions for the decays of charm mesons, i.e. $D^{0}\to\pi^{+}\pi^{-}\eta,\,K^{+}K^{-}\eta$ and $D^{0}\to\phi\eta$; $D_{s}^{+}\to…
The SELEX experiment (E781) at Fermilab has candidates for high mass states decaying to Lambda_c+ K- pi+ and Lambda_c+ K- pi+ pi+, Cabibbo-allowed decay modes of doubly-charmed baryons Xi_cc+ and Xi_cc++. The masses are consistent with…
A biased review of recent results in charm physics is presented. New results on D0 anti-D0 mixing, rare decays of D0 and D+/-, scalar resonances in D+ and Ds decays, and new decay modes and mass measurements in Lambda_c, Xi_c, Omega_c, and…
Measurements of the production yields of charm baryons ($\Lambda_\mathrm{c}^+$) and charm mesons (D$^0$) in proton-lead collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 8.16 TeV are presented. The data were collected in 2016 with…
In this paper recent results in the field of B meson decays to states containing charm are presented. These analyses are based on the 1999-2003 dataset collected by the BaBar experiment at the PEP-II e+e- storage ring at the Stanford Linear…
Using about 23M $B \bar B$ events collected in 1999-2000 with the BABAR detector, we report on the decays $B \to D^{(*)}\bar D^{(*)}K$ and $B^0 \to D^{*+}D^{*-}$. The branching fractions of the low background decay modes $B \to D^{(*)}\bar…

Recently, the LHCb collaboration has observed the decays $\Xi^0_{b}\to\Xi^+_{c}D^-_s$ and $\Xi^-_{b}\to\Xi^0_{c}D^-_s$. They measured the relative branching fractions times the ratio of beauty-baryon production cross-sections…
We report the first observation of two narrow charmed strange baryons decaying to $\Xi_c^+\gamma$ and $\Xi_c^0\gamma$, respectively, using data from the CLEO II detector at CESR. We interpret the observed signals as the…

We use the method of light-cone sum rules to study the electromagnetic transition of the $\Xi^{*++}_{cc}$ into $\Xi^{++}_{cc}\gamma$, whose decay width is estimated to be $13.7~{^{+17.7}_{-~7.9}}$ keV. This value is large enough for the…
