Heavy quark decays provide a very advantageous investigation to test the Standard Model (SM). Recently, promising experiments with \textit{b} quark, as well as the analysis of the huge data sets produced at the B factories, have led to an…

Differential cross-section and single polarization observables in the process gamma p --> K^+ Lambda are investigated within a constituent quark model and a dynamical coupled-channel formalism. The effects of two new nucleon resonances and…

We present an investigation of the decays $\bar{B}^0 \to \Lambda_{c}^{+} \bar{p}$ and $B^- \to \Lambda_{c}^{+} \bar{p} \pi^-$ based on $383\times10^6$ $\Upsilon(4S) \to B\bar{B}$ decays recorded with the BABAR detector. We measure the…

Recent results on $B_d$, $B_u^{\pm}$, $B_s$, $\Lambda_b$ and Charm hadrons are reported from $\approx$ 75pb$^{-1}$ and $\approx$ 40 pb$^{-1}$ of data accumulated at the upgraded CDF and D0 experiments at the Fermilab Tevatron $\bar{p}-p$…

The angular distributions of the baryon-antibaryon low-mass enhancements seen in the charmless three-body baryonic B decays B^+ \to p pbar K^+, B^0 \to p pbar K_S^0, and B^0 \to p Lambdabar pi^- are reported. Searches for the pentaquarks…

While the Kobayashi--Maskawa single phase origin of CP violation passed its first crucial precision test in $B\to J/\psi K_S$, the chirality of weak $b$-quark couplings has not yet been carefully tested. We discuss recent proposals for…

Motivated by the recent measurement of the lepton flavour nonuniversality ratio $R_{K^*}$ by the LHCb Collaboration, we study the implications of vector leptoquarks on the observed anomalies associated with the $\bar B \to \bar K^* l^+ l^-$…

The energy spectrum of the lepton(s) in e^+e^- --> tt-bar --> l^{+-} ...../l^+l^-..... at next linear colliders (NLC) is studied for arbitrary longitudinal beam polarizations as a possible test of new physics in top-quark couplings. The…

We point out new ways to search for charmless baryonic B decays: baryon pair production in association with $\eta^\prime$ is very likely as large as or even a bit larger than two body $K\pi/\pi\pi$ modes. We extend our argument, in weaker…

We report on the latests developments in the field of baryonic resonances generated from the meson-baryon interaction in coupled channels using a chiral unitary approach. The collection of resonances found in different strangeness and…

We examine in detail the semi-leptonic decay $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c \tau{\bar \nu}_{\tau}$, which may confirm previous hints, from the analogous $B$ decay, of a new physics beyond the standard model. First of all, starting from rather…

We examine the radiative decays of the Lambda (1405) to octet baryons, Lambda + gamma and Sigma + gamma. In the limit of SU(3) symmetry the decay rates for these two modes are related, and we compute the leading correction to the relation…

The ratio of the \Lambda b baryon lifetime to that of the B0 meson is measured using 1.0/fb of integrated luminosity in 7 TeV center-of-mass energy pp collisions at the LHC. The \Lambda b baryon is observed for the first time in the decay…

The long-standing anomaly in the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon indicates the presence of chirality violating new physics contributions. A possible solution involves scalar leptoquarks with left- and right-handed couplings to the top…

A search for charmless four-body decays of $\Lambda_{b}^{0}$ and $\Xi_{b}^{0}$ baryons with a proton and three charged mesons (either kaons or pions) in the final state is performed. The data sample used was recorded in 2011 and 2012 with…

We make predictions and propose tests for the semi-leptonic decays $B\to D^{(*)} l \bar{\nu}_l$ and $\Lambda_b\to \Lambda_c l \bar{\nu}_l$, with $l$ = $e$, $\mu$ and $\tau$. Preliminarily, we study such processes according to the $\ell-s$…

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…

I identify a source of \Lambda_{QCD}/m_Q corrections to the assumption of quark-hadron duality in the application of heavy quark methods to inclusive heavy quark decays. These corrections could substantially affect the accuracy of such…
