We propose to investigate the effects of new physics in the semi-leptonic sequential decay $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c (\to \Lambda \pi) \tau{\bar \nu}_{\tau}$. Firstly, we write the general, model independent, non-covariant expression of the…
Constraints placed on physics beyond the Standard Model from the recent CLEO observation of the inclusive decay $B\to X_s\gamma$ are summarized. Further searches for new physics using the process $B\to X_s\ell^+\ell^-$ are discussed.…
Using the general, model independent form of the effective Hamiltonian, the general expressions of the longitudinal, normal and transversal polarization asymmetries for (l^-) and (l^+) and combinations of them for the exclusive (B -> K l^+…
The Glashow-Iliopoulos-Maiani mechanism is extremely efficient to suppress the flavour-changing neutral current decays of charmed hadrons induced by the $c \to u$ transitions, making such processes particularly sensitive to phenomena beyond…
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…
We investigate the inclusive weak decay $\Xi_{bcq} \to \Xi_{ccq} + X$ ($q=u,d,s$) within the framework of the non-relativistic potential quark model. Treating the heavy diquarks $\Phi_{bc}$ and $\Phi_{cc}$ as compact color anti-triplet…
We investigate a gauge extension of the Standard Model in light of the observed hints of lepton universality violation in $b \to c \ell \nu$ and $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ decays at BaBar, Belle and LHCb. The model consists of an extended…
We study the polarized $\Lambda_b$ baryon semileptonic decay $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_cl{\bar\nu}$ using perturbative QCD factorization theorem. In this approach heavy baryon transition form factors are expressed as the convolutions of hard…
The data on high-precision flavour observables reveal certain puzzles when compared to Standard Model expectations based on a global fit of the CKM unitarity triangle and general theoretical estimates. The discussion of these tensions in…
At the LHC, bottom baryons are being produced in unprecedented quantities, which opens up a new field for flavor physics. For example, the decay $\Lambda_b \to p \mu^- \bar{\nu}$ can be used to obtain a novel determination of the CKM matrix…
We present a study of the rare baryonic decay $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \tau^+ \tau^-$ as a probe of new physics (NP) coupled preferentially to third-generation fermions. Within the Standard Model, we evaluate the branching ratio and the…
Semileptonic charged current $b \to c l^- \overline{\nu}_l$ decays offer a compelling avenue to probe the limits of the Standard Model and investigate lepton flavor universality (LFU). While the SM maintains flavor universality, new physics…
We study the rare $\Lambda_b\to\Lambda\mu^+\mu^-$ decay in the Standard Model and beyond. Beyond the Standard Model we include new vector and axial-vector operators, scalar and pseudo-scalar operators, and tensor operators in the effective…
The dependence of inclusive weak decay rates of heavy hadrons on light spectator quarks is considered. The analysis of a previous work on relating the effects in b baryons to those in charmed baryons is extended to explicit evaluation of…
Model-independent predictions for excitation energies, semileptonic form factors and electromagnetic decay rates of isoscalar heavy baryons and their low energy excited states are discussed in terms of the combined heavy quark and large…
Experimental studies of charmless semileptonic B decays can be broadly categorized into inclusive and exclusive measurements depending on how the final states are treated. The inclusive method measures the decay rate $\Gamma(B \to X_u \ell…
I briefly review the description of inclusive heavy hadron decays based on the inverse heavy quark mass expansion. In particular, I consider the transition $B \to X_u \ell \nu$ and the problem of extracting $V_{ub}$, mainly as far as the…
The LHCb experiment, bolstered up by the 10^12 b-hadrons to be produced yearly in its interaction region, is an excellent place to study rare B decays. Flavor-changing neutral currents are forbidden at tree level in the Standard Model. They…
We apply the general formalism derived in N. Penalva et al. [Phys. Rev. D 101, 113004 (2020)] to the semileptonic decay of pseudoscalar mesons containing a $b$ quark. While present $B\to D^{(*)}$ data give the strongest evidence in favor of…
Recent measurements of exclusive $B^{-} \to \tau^{-}\,\nu$ and $B^0 \to \pi^{+}\,l^{-}\,\bar{\nu}_l$ decays via the $b \to u\,l\,\nu$ transition process differ from the standard model expectation and, if they persist in future $B$…
