We present a detailed study of $B\to K_1(1270) \gamma$ and $B\to K_1(1400) \gamma$ decays. Using the light-cone sum rule technique, we calculate the $B\to K_{1A} (1^3P_1)$ and $B\to K_{1B} (1^1P_1)$ tensor form factors, $T_1^{K_{1A}}(0)$…
We calculate the branching ratios and CP-violating asymmetries for $B^0 \to\omega \eta $, $\omega \eta^\prime$, $\phi \eta$ and $\phi \eta^\prime$ decays in the perturbative QCD (pQCD) factorization approach. The pQCD predictions for the…
The $\b$ decay does not receive any nonspectator contributions and hence its theoretical calculation is relatively clean. Two different methods are employed for the study of $\b$. In the first method, both $b$ and $s$ quarks are treated as…
We derive a robust sum rule among the branching fractions of $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \nu \bar\nu$ and $B \to K^{(\ast)} \nu\bar\nu$, assuming that right-handed neutrinos are decoupled. Despite the presence of 18 independent Wilson…
The baryon differential spectrum of the baryon decay $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c \ell \bar{\nu}_\ell$ will be measured in detail at LHCb. We obtain new results on the form factors in the heavy quark expansion of Heavy Quark Effective Theory…
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…
In the framework of the top triangle moose $(TTM)$ model, we analyze the rare decays $\Lambda_{b}\rightarrow \Lambda l^{+}l^{-} (l=e,\mu,\tau)$ by using the form factors calculated in full $QCD$. We calculate the contributions of the new…
This article is devoted to calculating the form factors of $B_c \to D^{*}$, $B_c \to D$, $B_c \to D_s^{*}$ and $B_c \to D_s$ transitions in the framework of three-point QCD sum rules. At the QCD side, the contributions of…
The 1/m_c and 1/m_b corrections to the \Lambda_b to \Lambda_c semi- leptonic decay are analyzed by QCD sum rules. Within the framework of heavy quark effective theory,the subleading baryonic Isgur-Wise func- tion of \Lambda_b to \Lambda_c…
We investigate the semileptonic decays $\Lambda_{b} \to \Lambda_{c} \ell^- \bar{\nu}_\ell$ (with $\ell = e, \mu, \tau$) within the framework of perturbative QCD (pQCD). The six independent $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c$ transition form factors…
We study the radiative decays $h_{c}\rightarrow\gamma\eta^{(\prime)}$ in the framework of perturbative QCD and evaluate analytically the one-loop integrals with the light quark masses kept. Interestingly, the branching ratios…
Motivated by the large rates of $B\rightarrow (\chi_{c0}, \chi_{c2}, h_c)K$ decays observed by the $BABAR$ and Belle collaborations, we investigate the nonfactorizable contributions to these factorization-forbidden decays, which can occur…

The first observation of the semileptonic $b$-baryon decay $ \Lambda_b^0 \rightarrow \Lambda_c^+ \tau^-\overline{\nu}_{\tau}$, with a significance of $6.1\,\sigma$, is reported using a data sample corresponding to 3 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated…
