We calculate the semi-leptonic decays of $\Lambda_c$ and $\Lambda_b$ baryons which involve transitions of a heavy quark to a light quark. In a previous work we used data on the Cabibbo favoured non-leptonic decays of charmed baryons…
The tree level semileptonic $\Lambda_{b}\to pl\nu$ and $\Lambda_{c}\to nl\nu$ transitions are investigated using the light cone QCD sum rules approach in full theory. The spin--1/2, $\Lambda_{Q}$ baryon with $Q=b$ or $c$, is considered by…
We compute for the first time the next-to-leading-order QCD corrections to the $\bar B_{(s)} \to D_{(s)}^{(\ast)}$ form factors at large hadronic recoil. Both the charm-quark-mass and the strange-quark-mass dependent pieces can generate the…
