The detection of radially excited heavy meson \\states in recent years and measurement of heavy meson decays, particularly $B_c^+\to J/\psi D_s^+$ and $B_c^+\to J/\psi D_s^{*+}$, by the LHCb and ATLAS Collaborations, have aroused a lot of…
We study the nonleptonic two-body weak decays of $\Lambda_b$ by modifying the MIT bag model without introducing new parameters to construct the momentum eigenstates of the baryons. We find that the branching ratios of $\Lambda_b^0 \to…
Along with the running of Large Hadron Collider (LHC) located at CERN in November 2009, a large number of data samples of $B_c$ meson have been collected and some hadronic $B_c$ decay modes have been measured by the LHC experiments. In view…
We explore the application and usefulness of the heavy quark symmetry to describe the weak decays of hadrons (mesons and baryons) containing two heavy quarks. Firstly, we address the internal dynamics of a heavy-heavy bound system with the…
We study the nonleptonic decays of $\Omega_{b}\rightarrow\Omega_{c} P (V)$ with eight pseudoscalar and vector mesons using the naive factorization approach. We analyze all relevant topologies (the tree-level, color-suppressed, and penguin)…
We calculate the decay width for $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c e {\bar \nu}$ in the frame work of a nonrelativistic quark (NRQ) model of heavy baryons where the light quarks play the role of spectators. Our calculation does not make an explicit…
The newly-discovered $\Xi_{cc}^{++}$ decays into the $ \Lambda_{c}^+ K^-\pi^+\pi^+$, but the experimental data has indicated that this decay is not saturated by any two-body intermediate state. In this work, we analyze the multi-body weak…
We present results for different observables measured in semileptonic and non-leptonic decays of the $B_c^-$ meson. The calculations have been done within the framework of a nonrelativistic constituent quark model. In order to check the…
Upper and lower bounds are established on the Lambda_b -> Lambda_c semileptonic decay form factors by utilizing inclusive heavy-quark-effective-theory sum rules. These bounds are calculated to leading order in Lambda_QCD/m_Q and alpha_s.…
We apply a recent theoretical analysis of hadronic observables in inclusive semileptonic heavy hadron decays to the phenomenology of $B$ and $D$ mesons. Correlated bounds on the nonperturbative parameters $\bar\Lambda$ and $\lambda_1$ are…
We present an updated analysis of the non-perturbatively renormalized b-quark mass and B meson decay constant based on CLS lattices with two dynamical non-perturbatively improved Wilson quarks. This update incorporates additional light…
In this talk we present theoretical evidence that the exclusive/inclusive ratio of semileptonic Lambda_b-decays exceeds that of semileptonic B-decays, where the experimental exclusive/inclusive ratio amounts to about 66%. We start from the…
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…
Theoretical descriptions for the nonleptonic decays of heavy flavour hadrons have emerged that incorporate non-perturbative corrections in a systematic way and are genuinely based on QCD. One can reproduce $\tau (D^+)/\tau (D^0)$,…
Searches for $B$ mesons decaying to final states containing a baryon and a lepton are performed, where the baryon is either $\Lambda_c$ or $\Lambda$ and the lepton is a muon or an electron. These decays violate both baryon and lepton number…
Nonleptonic $B_c$ decays to $P$-wave charmonia and light $\pi^+$, $K^+$, and $\rho^+$, $K^{*+}$ mesons are analysed using factorization. The hadronic form factors parametrizing the $B_c \to \chi_{cJ}(h_c)$ matrix elements are expressed in…

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 leptonic and semi-leptonic decays of D and B mesons. Use of the Hopping Parameter Expansion (HPE) for two-point functions allows us continuously to vary the pseudoscalar mass from below m_D up towards m_B. We compute the…
