We study the three-body charmed baryonic decays $\bar{B}^0\to\Sigma_c^{++} \bar{p}\pi^-$ and $\bar{B}^0\to\Sigma_c^{0}\bar{p}\pi^+$ in the four-body final state $\bar{B}^0\to\Lambda_c^{+}\bar{p}\pi^+\pi^-$, using a data sample of 357…
We study the doubly charmful two-body and three-body baryonic B decays $\bar B\to \Lambda_c^+\bar \Lambda_c^-$ and $\bar B\to \Lambda_c^+\bar \Lambda_c^- \bar K$. As pointed out before, a naive estimate of the branching ratio ${\cal…
The status of exclusive two-body and three-body baryonic B decays is reviewed. The threshold peaking effect in baryon pair invariant mass is stressed and explained. Weak radiative baryonic B decays mediated by the electromagnetic penguin…
We study the charmless two-body $\Lambda_b\to \Lambda (\phi,\eta^{(\prime)})$ and three-body $\Lambda_b\to \Lambda K^+K^- $ decays. We obtain ${\cal B}(\Lambda_b\to \Lambda\phi)=(3.53\pm 0.24)\times 10^{-6}$ to agree with the recent LHCb…
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…
The hadronic decays eta -> pi pi pi, eta-prime -> pi pi pi and eta-prime -> eta pi pi are investigated within a U(3) chiral unitary approach. Final state interactions are included by deriving the effective s-wave potentials for meson meson…
We present results of a detailed study of the three-body $\bar{B}^0\to\Sigma_c(2455)^{0}\bar{p}\pi^{+}$ decay. A significant enhancement of signal events is observed in the $\bar{p}\pi^+$ mass system near $1.5 {\rm GeV}/c^2$ that is…
We investigate the rare baryonic ${\Lambda}_b\rightarrow{\Lambda}l^+ l^-$ decays in a non-universal $Z'$ model, which is one of the well-motivated extensions of the standard model (SM). Considering the effects of $Z'$-mediated…
This work presents the search for the semileptonic baryonic B decay $B^- \rightarrow \Lambda_c^+ \bar{p} \ell^- \bar{\nu}_{\ell}$. The used data comprises the complete BABAR data set of $470 \cdot 10^{6}$ $B\bar{B}$ events, collected at the…
The inclusive and exclusive B decays into the eta' meson plus others are investigated in a model based on the QCD anomaly. The invariant mass distribution is discussed. The constraint of the effective coupling is obtained from the data of…
Recent BABAR and Belle results on rare B decays involving photons or lepton pairs are reviewed. New preliminary limits from both experiments for B-->rho gamma and B-->omega gamma, and from BABAR for B --> K nu nu and B --> tau nu are…
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…
There are two apparent puzzles connected with the two-body and three-body doubly charmed baryonic B decays. First, earlier calculations based on QCD sum rules or the diquark model predict $Br(\bar B^0\to\Xi_c^+\bar\Lambda_c^-)\approx…
I present some recent measurements of B meson decay rates to leptonic and charmless hadronic final states, as well as of CP-violation charge asymmetries and other features. I sketch the theoretical frameworks used to predict these, and…
The hadronic decays eta, eta-prime -> 3 pi and eta-prime -> eta pi pi are investigated within the framework of U(3) chiral effective field theory in combination with a relativistic coupled-channels approach. Final state interactions are…
We first study the charmless two-body $\Lambda_b$ decays with the scalar mesons as the final states and predict that ${\cal B}(\Lambda_b\to \Lambda f_0(980,1500))=(2.9\pm 0.7,12.4\pm 3.8)\times 10^{-6}$ and ${\cal B}(\Lambda_b\to p…
Radiative and electroweak decays of B mesong (B to X_{s(d)}{\gamma} and B to X_{s(d)}\ell\ell, respectively, where X is a hadronic system and s or d labels the underlying quark process b to s(d)\gamma) provide good places to search for new…
The results of a search for the rare two-body charmless baryonic decays $B^0 \to p \bar{p}$ and $B_s^0 \to p \bar{p}$ are reported. The analysis uses a data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 0.9 fb$^{-1}$, of $pp$…
We study the rare decays of $B_{s} \to M_s\ell \bar{\ell}$ ($M_s=\eta, \eta',\phi$ and $\ell=\nu,e,\mu,\tau$) in the standard model. With the hadronic form factors evaluated in the light front and constituent quark models, we estimate the…
We suggest to analyze the three-body decays B+- to $K+- p pbar$ and to $K+- \pi \pi$ by means of two different asymmetries. The former asymmetry, a T-odd one, vanishes and is proposed as a test for excluding biases in the experimental data.…
