We give improved estimates for the non-perturbative parameters appearing in the heavy quark expansion for inclusive decays. While the parameters appearing in low orders of this expansion can be extracted from data, the number of parameters…

We attempt to explain the ${\bar \Lambda}/\bar p$ ratios measured in heavy ion collisions at $11.6~{\rm A\cdot GeV}/c$ beam momentum within a hadronic framework. This ratio is enhanced relative to corresponding ratios in $pp$ collisions,…
In this paper, we examine observational constraints on the power law cosmology; essentially dependent on two parameters $H_0$ (Hubble constant) and $q$ (deceleration parameter). We investigate the constraints on these parameters using the…
We show that one can re-arrange the Heavy Quark Expansion for inclusive weak decays of charmed hadrons in such a way that the resulting expansion is an expansion in $\Lambda_{\rm QCD} / m_c$ and $\alpha_s (m_c)$ with order-one coefficients.…
We calculate the $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c \ell \nu$ form factors and decay rates for all possible $b\to c \ell\bar\nu$ four-Fermi interactions beyond the Standard Model, including nonzero charged lepton masses and terms up to order…
Electroweak theory with two massless Higgs doublets is studied by solving renormalization group equations for coupling constants in one-loop approximation. A cutoff~$\Lambda$, at which one of quartic couplings in the Higgs potential blows…
We analyse the constraints on dimension-six Delta F=1 effective operators in models respecting the MFV hypothesis, both in the one-Higgs doublet case and in the two-Higgs doublet scenario with large tan beta. The constraints are derived…
Baryons with one or more heavy quarks have been shown, in the context of a nonrelativistic description, to exhibit mass inequalities under permutations of their quarks, when spin averages are taken. These inequalities sometimes are…

The study of hypernuclei in the quark mean-field model are extended from single-$\Lambda$ hypernuclei to double-$\Lambda$ hypernuclei as well as $\Xi$ hypernuclei (double strangeness nuclei), with a broken SU(3) symmetry for the quark…
Phenomenological applications of an effective theory of low-lying excited states of charm and bottom isoscalar baryons are discussed at leading and next-to-leading order in the combined heavy quark and large $N_c$ expansion. The combined…
The $\Lambda_b \to p$ semileptonic decay is analyzed by using QCD sum rules within the framework of heavy quark effective theory. The Isgur-Wise function of $\Lambda_b \to p l \bar\nu$ has been calculated. The decay width is given.
We study the constraints on gravity scale $M_P$ in extra-dimension gravitational theory, obtained from gravity-induced processes. The obtained constraints are subdivided into strong (though not robust) and reliable (though less strong). The…
In the heavy-quark limit, the two heavy quarks in a doubly heavy baryon or a doubly heavy tetraquark are bound by their color-Coulomb potential into a compact diquark. The doubly heavy hadrons are related by the approximate…
Rare $\Lambda_b\to\Lambda l^+l^-$ and $\Lambda_b\to\Lambda\gamma$ decays are investigated in the relativistic quark model based on the quark-diquark picture of baryons. The decay form factors are calculated with the account of all…

We investigate the nonperturbative parameters entering the heavy quark expansion for the inclusive decay rates of the $\Lambda_b$ baryon, focusing on the kinetic term $\hat{\mu}_\pi^2$ and the Darwin term $\hat{\rho}_D^3$. Recent…
We formulate a QCD-based effective theory approach to heavy quarkonia-like systems as $\bar{c} c$ and $\bar{b} b$ resonances and $B_c$ states. We apply the method to inclusive decays, working out a few examples in detail.
We carry out an analysis of the full set of ten $\bar{B}\to D^{(*)}$ form factors within the framework of the Heavy-Quark Expansion (HQE) to order $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_s,\,1/m_b,\,1/m_c^2)$, both with and without the use of experimental…
