The dependence of inclusive weak decay rates of heavy hadrons on the flavors of spectator light quarks is revisited with application to decays of charmed and b hyperons. It is pointed out that the differences in the semileptonic decay…
The physics of heavy quarks becomes a very reach area of study thanks to an excellent operation of hadron colliders and $B$-factories and exciting results from them. Experimental data obtained allows to get some information about the heavy…
I review the status of the modern theoretical approach to weak decays of heavy flavor hadrons based on the 1/m_Q expansion in QCD. The qualitative features are explained and the subtleties in simultaneously incorporating perturbative and…
We study the weak decays of exotic tetraquark states ${b\bar c}{q\bar q}$ with two heavy quarks. Under the SU(3) symmetry for light quarks, these tetraquarks can be classified into an octet plus a singlet: $3\bigotimes\bar 3=1\bigoplus8$.…
After a short review of the theoretical tools available to describe heavy flavour physics I sketch the present profile of the weak dynamics of charm hadrons with respect to lifetimes, oscillations and CP violation. I argue that…
We discuss recent results on heavy and light baryon spectroscopy
The lifetimes of bottom and charmed hadrons are analyzed within the framework of the heavy quark expansion (HQE). Lifetime differences arise from the spectator effects such as weak $W$-annihilation and Pauli interference. Spectator effects…
We give an overview of heavy flavour lifetime measurements, focusing on recent results from the Tevatron and the B factories.
In this review we give a perspective of the theoretical work done recently on the interpretation of results from $B$, $D$, $\Lambda_b$, $\Lambda_c$ weak decays into final states that contain interacting hadrons, and how it is possible to…
A detailed, quantitative re-examination of the effect of hadron dynamics on baryon decay, modeled in terms of Skyrme-field tunneling, indicates that any hadronic suppression should be quite mild. This appears to be another illustration of…
In this work, we investigate the weak decays of ground-state triply heavy baryons. We first obtain the form factors using the light-front quark model in the three-quark picture, and then apply them to arrive at some phenomenological…
The recent theoretical progress in the description of semileptonic decays in the framework of the heavy mass expansion is summarized. Both inclusive and exclusive decays are considered.
A critical review of the theoretical understanding of the lifetimes of beauty hadrons is given. A model-independent analysis using the heavy-quark expansion allows for a description of the lifetime ratios tau(B-)/tau(B0) and…
We develop perturbative QCD factorization theorems for inclusive b-hadron decays, in which radiative corrections characterized by the hadronic scale, the b-hadron mass, and the W boson mass are absorbed into a heavy hadron distribution…
We present new results on the lifetimes and widths of $B$ hadrons based on 300-450 pb$^{-1}$ of data collected by CDF and D{\O}at the Fermilab Tevatron. Lifetimes were measured in semileptonic decays as well as fully reconstructed hadronic…
Some extensions of the standard model contain additional leptons which are vectorlike under weak isospin. A class of models is considered in which these leptons do not appreciably mix with the known leptons. In such models, the heavy…
In the presented article we consider exclusive weak decays of doubly heavy baryons with spin $J=1/2$ with production of leptonic pair or a set of light mesons. Using QCD factorization theorem and spectral functions approach we obtain…
Heavy long-lived quarks, i.e. charm and bottom, are frequently studied both as tests of QCD and as probes for other physics aspects within and beyond the standard model. The long life-time implies that charm and bottom hadrons are formed…
The analysis of singly charmed hadrons has been extended to the case of doubly charmed baryons, $\Xi_{cc}^{++}$, $\Xi_{cc}^{+}$ and $\Omega_{cc}^{+}$. Doubly charmed baryons are described as a system containing a heavy $cc$-diquark and a…
The lifetimes of doubly charmed hadrons are analyzed within the framework of the heavy quark expansion (HQE). Lifetime differences arise from spectator effects such as $W$-exchange and Pauli interference. The $\Xi_{cc}^{++}$ baryon is…
