We present measurements of lepton (l) angular distributions in ttbar -> W+ b W- b -> l+ nu b l- nubar bbar decays produced in ppbar collisions at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt(s)=1.96TeV, where l is an electron or muon. Using data…
We analyze the decay processes of ${\bf B}_c \to {\bf B}_n M$ with the $SU(3)_F$ flavor symmetry and spin-dependent amplitudes, where ${\bf B}_c({\bf B}_n)$ and $M$ are the anti-triplet charmed (octet) baryon and nonet meson states,…

The rare three body decay of a Higgs boson to a lepton-anti lepton pair and a photon has begun to attract attention, after the first evidence for the $H\to Z\gamma$ at CMS and ATLAS, which is a sub process of $H \to \ell^+ \ell^- \gamma$ .…
We study two simple $CP$-violating asymmetries of leptons coming from the decay of $t$ and $\o t$ in $e^+e^- \ra \tt$, which do not need the full reconstruction of the $t$ or $\o t$ for their measurement. They can arise when the top quark…
Among the various "rare" semi-leptonic decays of $B$-mesons the $B \to K^* \ell^+ \ell^-$ mode is of special interest. This is because it has the highest branching ratio among all the semi-leptonic B decays within the SM. This channel also…
We study the decays of $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c(\to B_n f) \ell ^- \overline{\nu}$ with $\ell = e, \mu, \tau$, where $B_n$ and $f$ are the daughter baryons and the rest of the particles in $\Lambda_c$ cascade decays, respectively. In…
A comprehensive study of $b\to c$ weak decays of doubly heavy baryons is presented in this paper. The transition form factors as well as the pole residues of the initial and final states are respectively obtained by investigating the…
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.…
Using the $B\to K_1$ form factors evaluated in the perturbative QCD approach, we study semileptonic $B\to K_1(1270)l^+l^-$ and $B\to K_1(1400)l^+l^-$ decays, where $K_1(1270)$ and $K_1(1400)$ are mixtures of $K_{1A}$ and $K_{1B}$ which are…
We study the non-leptonic two-body weak decays of $\Lambda_b^0 \to p M$ with $ M=(\pi^-,K^-)$ and $(\rho^-,K^{*-})$ in the light-front quark model under the generalized factorization ansatz. By considering the Fermi statistic between quarks…

In this study, the nonleptonic two-body $B$ decays into two tensor mesons (including $a_2(1320)$, $K^*_2(1430)$, $f_2(1270)$, $f^\prime_2(1525)$, denoted generically as $T$) are investigated in the QCD factorization approach. The branching…
The electroweak CP violating rate asymmetries in the decay $b \to d l^+ l^-$ are reexamined in detail and updated. In particular, the rate asymmetries are studied when one of the final state leptons is polarised. We find an estimate for the…
