We present a new analysis of the Delta I = 1/2 rule in K --> pi pi decays and the B_K parameter. We use the 1/N_c expansion within the effective chiral lagrangian for pseudoscalar mesons and compute the hadronic matrix elements at leading…
The differential decay spectrum $d\Gamma/dE_e dq^2$ for the semileptonic decay of an unpolarized hadron containing a b-quark, and the decay spectrum $d\Gamma/dE_e dq^2 d\!\cos\theta$ for polarized $\Lambda_b$ decay are computed to second…
The successful operation of LHC provides a great opportunity to study the processes where heavy baryons are involved. {In this work we mainly study} the weak transitions of $\Sigma_b\to \Sigma_c$. Assuming the reasonable quark-diquark…
In data taken with the NA48 experiment at the CERN SPS in 1999, 730 candidates of the weak radiative hyperon decay Xi0 -> Lambda gamma have been found with an estimated background of 58+-8 events. From these events the Xi0 -> Lambda gamma…
The BESIII collaboration has recently reported the first time measurement of the decay asymmetry $\alpha(\Lambda_c^+ \to \Xi^0 K^+) = 0.01 \pm 0.16(stat.) \pm 0.03(syst.)$ and also a sizable phase shift of $\delta_P-\delta_S = -1.55 \pm…

In this article, the electroweak transition form factors of $\Lambda_b\to\Lambda_c$ and $\Xi_b\to\Xi_c$ are analyzed within the framework of three-point QCD sum rules. In phenomenological side, all possible couplings of interpolating…
The semileptonic decay $\Lambda_c \to \Lambda \ell \nu$ is considered in the framework of heavy quark effective theory beyond the leading order in the $1/m_c$ expansion. According to our estimate the polarization variable will receive only…
Using as a tool the s-wave approximation (sWA), this work demonstrates that the nonmesonic weak decay transition rates $\Gamma_{n}$ and $\Gamma_{p}$ can be expressed in all hypernuclei up to $^{29}_\Lambda $Si (and very likely in heavier…
The branching fractions of the rare weak $B\to \pi l^+l^-(\nu\bar\nu)$ and $B\to\rho l^+l^-(\nu\bar\nu)$ decays are calculated in the framework of the relativistic quark model based on the quasipotential approach. The form factors…
We study the semileptonic decays of the lowest-lying $bc$ baryons to the lowest-lying $cc$ baryons ($\Xi_{bc}^{(\prime*)}\to \Xi_{cc}^{(*)}$ and $\Omega_{bc}^{(\prime*)}\to \Omega_{cc}^{(*)}$), in the limit $m_b, m_c \gg…
We calculate the semi-leptonic decays of $\Lambda_c$ and $\Lambda_b$ baryons which involve transitions of a heavy quark to a light quark. In a previous work we used data on the Cabibbo favoured non-leptonic decays of charmed baryons…

Low energy $\pi^+$ emission in hypernuclear weak decays is studied in the soft pion limit. It is found that the $\pi^+$ decay amplitude is dominated by the $\Delta I=3/2$ part of nonmesonic weak decays according to the soft pion theorem.…

Decays of $\Lambda$ in nuclei, nonmesonic mode, are studied by using the $\Lambda N \to NN$ weak transition potential derived from the meson exchange mechanism and the direct quark mechanism. The decay rates are calculated both for the…
Working in the framework of a nonrelativistic quark model we evaluate the widths for the strong one-pion decays $\Sigma_c\to\Lambda_c \pi$, $\Sigma_c^*\to\Lambda_c \pi$ and $\Xi_c^{*}\to\Xi_c \pi$. We take advantage of the constraints…
The semileptonic B-> Xu l nu decays allow a pretty clean determination of the CKM matrix element |Vub|. Nevertheless, the presence of weak-annihilation effects near the end-point of the q2 spectrum introduces uncertainties in the inclusive…
