Exclusive and inclusive, semileptonic and non-leptonic, charmed decays of the B-meson are investigated in the context of a phenomenological quark model. Bound-state effects are taken care of by adopting a single (model-dependent)…
There exist heavy tetraquark states $QQ \bar q \bar q$ in the heavy quark limit. These states are stable with respect to strong interactions and hence must decay weakly. It is shown that the semileptonic decay depends on a single…
We present the results of a nonrelativistic constituent quark model study of the semileptonic decays $\Lambda_b^0 \to \Lambda_c^+ l^- {\bar \nu}_l$ and $\Xi_b^0 \to \Xi_c^+ l^- {\bar \nu}_l$. We work on coordinate space, with baryon wave…
The form factors for the semi-leptonic B->D and B->D* decays are evaluated in quenched lattice QCD at two different values of the coupling, beta=6.0 and 6.2. The action and the operators are fully O(a) non-perturbatively improved. The slope…
The semileptonic decays of $\Lambda_{b}\to\Lambda_{c}^{(*)}\ell\nu_\ell$ and $\Lambda_{c}\to\Lambda^{(*)}\ell\nu_\ell$ are studied in the light-front quark model in this work. Instead of the quark-diquark approximation, we use the…
