We investigate the reaction $ pi^- p rightarrow D^- Lambda_{c}^{+} $ within the generalized parton picture. The process is described by a handbag-type mechanism with the charm-quark mass acting as the hard scale. As in the case of preceding work on $bar{p} p rightarrow bar{Lambda}^-_c Lambda_{c}^{+} $ we argue that the process amplitude factorizes into one for the perturbatively calculable partonic subprocess $bar{u} urightarrow bar{c} c$ and hadronic matrix elements that can be parameterized in terms of generalized parton distributions. Modeling the generalized parton distributions by overlaps of (valence-quark) light-cone wave functions for the hadrons involved, we obtain numerical results for unpolarized differential and integrated cross sections as well as spin observables. Our approach works well above the production threshold ($s gtrsim 20 $GeV$^2$) in the forward hemisphere and predicts unpolarized cross sections of the order of nb, a finding that could be of interest in view of plans to measure $ pi^- p rightarrow D^- Lambda_{c}^{+} $ at J-PARC.

The ratios of the branching fractions of the decays $Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p pi^{-} pi^{+}$, $Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p K^{-} K^{+}$, and $Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p pi^{-} K^{+}$ with respect to the Cabibbo-favoured $Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p K^{-} pi^{+}$ decay are measured using proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb experiment at a 7 TeV centre-of-mass energy and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb$^{-1}$: begin{align*} frac{mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p pi^{-} pi^{+})}{mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p K^{-} pi^{+})} & = (7.44 pm 0.08 pm 0.18),%, frac{mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p K^{-} K^{+})}{mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p K^{-} pi^{+})} &= (1.70 pm 0.03 pm 0.03),%, frac{mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p pi^{-} K^{+})}{mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p K^{-} pi^{+})} & = (0.165 pm 0.015 pm 0.005 ),%, end{align*} where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. These results are the most precise measurements of these quantities to date. When multiplied by the world-average value for $mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p K^{-} pi^{+})$, the corresponding branching fractions are begin{align*} mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p pi^{-} pi^{+}) &= (4.72 pm 0.05 pm 0.11 pm 0.25) times 10^{-3}, mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p K^{-} K^{+}) &= (1.08 pm 0.02 pm 0.02 pm 0.06) times 10^{-3}, mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p pi^{-} K^{+}) &= (1.04 pm 0.09 pm 0.03 pm 0.05) times 10^{-4}, end{align*} where the final uncertainty is due to $mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p K^{-} pi^{+})$.
Measurements of $C!P$ observables in $B^pm rightarrow D K^pm$ and $B^pm rightarrow D pi^pm$ decays are presented where the $D$ meson is reconstructed in the final states $K^pmpi^mp$, $pi^pm K^mp$, $K^+K^-$, $pi^+pi^-$, $K^pmpi^mp pi^+ pi^-$, $pi^pm K^mp pi^+ pi^-$ and $pi^+ pi^- pi^+ pi^-$. This analysis uses a sample of charged $B$ mesons from $pp$ collisions collected by the LHCb experiment in 2011 and 2012, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb$^{-1}$. Various CP-violating effects are reported and together these measurements provide important input for the determination of the unitarity triangle angle $gamma$. The analysis of the four-pion $D$ decay mode is the first of its kind.
In this paper, we study the Cabibbo favored three body non-leptonic D^+ rightarrow K^- pi^+ pi^+ decay. We show that the corresponding direct CP asymmetry is so tiny in the framework of the Standard Model and is out of the experimental range. Motivated by this result we extend the study of the CP asymmetry to include a toy model with CP violating weak phase equals 20 degrees in a_2, a model with extra gauge bosons within Left-Right Grand Unification models and a model with charged Higgs boson. We show that the toy model can strongly improve the SM prediction of the CP asymmetry to be about 30%. The largest CP asymmetry can be achieved in the non-manifest Left-Right models where a CP asymmetry up to 25% can be reached. For the two Higgs doublets models the CP asymmetry is of order 10^{-3}.
We report branching fraction measurements of four decay modes of the $Lambda_{c}^{+}$ baryon, each of which includes an $eta$ meson and a $Lambda$ baryon in the final state, and all of which are measured relative to the $Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p K^{-} pi^{+}$ decay mode. The results are based on a $980~mathrm{fb^{-1}}$ data sample collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^{+}e^{-}$ collider. Two decays, $eta Sigma^{0} pi^{+}$ and $Lambda(1670) pi^{+}$, are observed for the first time, while the measurements of the other decay modes, $Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow etaLambdapi^{+}$ and $etaSigma(1385)^{+}$, are more precise than those made previously. We obtain $mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow eta Lambda pi^{+})/mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p K^{-} pi^{+})$ = $0.293 pm 0.003 pm 0.014$, $mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow eta Sigma^{0} pi^{+})/mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p K^{-} pi^{+})$ = $0.120 pm 0.006 pm 0.006$, $mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow Lambda(1670) pi^{+}) times mathcal{B}(Lambda(1670) rightarrow eta Lambda)/mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p K^{-} pi^{+})$ = $(5.54 pm 0.29 pm 0.73 ) times 10^{-2}$, and $mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow eta Sigma(1385)^{+})/mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p K^{-} pi^{+})$ = $0.192 pm 0.006 pm 0.016$. The mass and width of the $Lambda(1670)$ are also precisely determined to be $1674.3 pm 0.8 pm 4.9~{rm MeV}/c^{2}$ and $36.1 pm 2.4 pm 4.8~{rm MeV}$, respectively, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively.
An analysis of the decays of $B^mp rightarrow D K^mp$ and $B^mp rightarrow D pi^mp $ is presented in which the $D$ meson is reconstructed in the three-body final states $K^mp pi^pm pi^0$, $pi^+ pi^- pi^0$ and $K^+ K^- pi^0$. Using data from LHCb corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions, measurements of several $CP$ observables are performed. First observations are obtained of the suppressed ADS decay $B^mp rightarrow [pi^mp K^pm pi^0]_D pi^mp$ and the quasi-GLW decay $B^mp rightarrow [K^+ K^- pi^0]_D pi^mp$. The results are interpreted in the context of the unitarity triangle angle $gamma$ and related parameters.
