We study the charmless two-body decays of $b$-baryons $(\Lambda_b$, $\Xi_b^-$, $\Xi_b^0)$. We find that ${\cal B}(\Xi_b^-\to \Lambda \rho^-)=(2.08^{+0.69}_{-0.51})\times 10^{-6}$ and ${\cal B}(\Xi_b^0\to \Sigma^+…
The decays D^* -> D\pi and D^* -> D\gamma are well described by heavy meson chiral perturbation theory. With the recent measurement of Br(D^{*+} -> D^+ \gamma), the D^{*0}, D^{*+}, and D_s^* branching fractions can be used to extract the…
It is pointed out that the previously suggested interpretation of the hidden-charm pentaquarks $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$ as molecular bound states of $\Sigma_c \bar D$ and $\Sigma_c \bar D^*$ baryon-meson pairs gives rise to…
A search is presented for the two-body charmed baryonic decays $\overline{B}_{(s)}^{0}\to\Lambda_{c}^{+}\overline{\Lambda}_{c}{}^{-}$, using a data sample collected by the LHCb experiment during 2011--2012 and 2015--2018 corresponding to an…

Previous studies of proton and neutron spectra from Non-Mesonic Weak Decay of eight Lambda-Hypernuclei (A = 5-16) have been revisited. New values of the ratio of the two-nucleon and the one-proton induced decay widths, Gamma_2N/Gamma_p, are…
We study strong decays of nonstrange baryons by making use of the algebraic approach to hadron structure. Within this framework we derive closed expressions for decay widths in an elementary-meson emission model and use these to analyze the…
The spectroscopy of the doubly heavy baryons including different heavy quarks is studied based on the heavy quark symmetry of QCD. We point out that, when the two heavy quarks are in $S$-wave, these baryons with a certain spin $j_l$ of the…
We study the four-body baryonic $B\to {\bf B_1 \bar B_2}M_1 M_2$ decays with $\bf B_{1,2}$ ($M_{1,2}$) being charmless baryons (mesons). In accordance with the recent LHCb observations, each decay is considered to proceed through the $B\to…
We extend our previous analysis on the mass of the recently discovered $\Omega(2012)$ state by investigation of its strong decays and calculation of its width employing the method of light cone QCD sum rule. Considering two possibilities…
Stimulated by the experimental observation, made by the E760 Collaboration at Fermilab, of the $^1\!P_1$ state of charmonium resonantly formed in $p\,\bar p$ annihilation, we perform a calculation of the decay width for the $^1\!P_1\to…
The decay rates of P-wave heavy quarkonia to light hadrons are presented to leading order in $v^2$ and next-to-leading order in $\alpha_s$. They include contributions from both the color-singlet component and the color-octet component of…
The phenomenological 3P0 decay model has been extensively applied to calculate meson strong decays. The strength \gamma\ of the decay interaction is regarded as a free flavor independent constant and is fitted to the data. We calculate…

In the Standard Model of particle physics, the strength of the couplings of the $b$ quark to the $u$ and $c$ quarks, $|V_{ub}|$ and $|V_{cb}|$, are governed by the coupling of the quarks to the Higgs boson. Using data from the LHCb…
In this Letter, we propose a strategy to extract information on the hierarchical amplitude pair in singly Cabibbo-suppressed (SCS) charmed baryon two-body decays, with a dominant amplitude proportional to $\lambda_s = V_{cs}^* V_{us}$ from…
In our former work [arXiv:2011.07214], the $P_{cs}(4459)$ observed by the LHCb Collaboration can be explained as a coupled strange hidden-charm $\Xi_c\bar{D}^*/\Xi_c^*\bar{D}/\Xi_c'\bar{D}^*/\Xi_c^*\bar{D}^*$ molecule with…
