We study the angular distribution of photons produced in the inclusive decay of a polarized $\Lambda_b$, $\Lambda_b\to X_s\,\gamma$, using the technique of Heavy Quark Effective Theory. Finite non-perturbative corrections are obtained…
Semileptonic decays of heavy baryons consisting of one heavy (Q=b,c) and two light (q=u,d,s) quarks are considered in the heavy-quark--light-diquark approximation. The relativistic quasipotential equation is used for obtaining masses and…
We compute the differential momentum correlation function for hadrons produced in the decay of $B$-mesons. This measure of hadronic event shapes tests the free $b$-quark decay picture for nonleptonic and semileptonic decays of $B$-mesons.…
The recent measurement by CDF M(Sigma_b)-M(Lambda_b)=192 MeV is in striking agreement with our theoretical prediction M(Sigma_b)-M(Lambda_b) = 194 MeV. In addition, the measured splitting M(Sigma_b*)-M(Sigma_b) = 21 MeV agrees well with the…
We calculate, within pQCD parton model at leading orders, the expression of the polarization P of spin 1/2 hadrons (typically Lambda baryons), produced in polarized semi-inclusive DIS in all possible cases in which weak interactions are…
We study the inclusive production of $\Lambda$ ($\bar \Lambda$) in several high energy collision processes ($e^+e^-, e^{\pm}p, \nu (\bar \nu)p, pp$), in view of an accurate determination of the unpolarized and polarized fragmentation…
A determination of the spin and parity of the $\Lambda(1405)$ is presented using photoproduction data from the CLAS detector at Jefferson Lab. The reaction $\gamma + p \to K^+ + \Lambda(1405)$ is analyzed in the decay channel $\Lambda(1405)…
We present a detailed analysis of the heavy-to-light semileptonic decays of the Lambda_b and Lambda_c baryons Lambda_b -> p l- bar(nu)_l and Lambda_c -> n l+ nu_l in the covariant confined quark model. We calculate the invariant and…
We study the dilepton forward-backward and the longitudinal, normal and transverse lepton polarization asymmetries in the heavy baryon decays of $\Lambda_b\to\Lambda l^+l^-$. We show that the asymmetries have a less dependence on the…
Semileptonic decays of Lambda_b and Lambda_c baryons are studied within the Relativistic Three-Quark Model using finite heavy quark mass values. Employing the same parameters as have been used previously for the description of exclusive…
We discuss Lambda polarization in semi-inclusive proton-proton collisions, with one of the protons longitudinally polarized. The hyperfine interaction responsible for the $\Delta$-$N$ and $\Sigma$-$\Lambda$ mass splittings gives rise to…
We consider isospin predictions for the semi-leptonic and non-leptonic decays of the $\Lambda_b$ baryon. Isospin conservation of the strong interactions constrains the possible final states in $\Lambda_b$ decays. Since the baryon hyperfine…
The form factor of Lambda_b^0 baryons is estimated using 3.46 10^6 hadronic Z decays collected by the DELPHI experiment between 1992 and 1995. Charmed Lambda_c^+ baryons fully reconstructed in the pK-pi+, pK0_S, and Lambda pi+pi+pi- modes,…
At LHC a large number of b-flavored baryons will be produced. In this note we propose new baryon modes to determine the photon helicity of the penguin transition $b \to s \gamma$. The decay $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \gamma$ has the drawback…
The recent experimental developments require a more precise theoretical study of weak decays of heavy baryon $\Lambda_b^0$. In this work, we provide an updated and systematic analysis of both the semi-leptonic and nonleptonic decays of…
Analytic formulae are given for QCD corrections to the lepton spectra in decays of polarised up and down type heavy quarks. These formulae are much simpler than the published ones for the corrections to the spectra of charged leptons…

Analytic expression for energy and angular dependence of a secondary charged lepton in the decay of a polarized top quark with anomalous $tWb$ couplings in the presence of all anomalous couplings are derived. The angular distribution of the…
We study the production of polarized $\Lambda$ hyperon in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering off an unpolarized target. We include the cases in which the $\Lambda$ hyperon is longitudinally polarized or transversely polarized, and in…
We study the semileptonic $b\to c$ decays of the lowest-lying triply-heavy baryons made from $b$ and $c$ quarks in the limit $m_b, m_c \gg \Lambda_\mathrm{QCD}$ and close to the zero recoil point. The separate heavy quark spin symmetries…
