The radiative decays of $b$-baryons facilitate the direct measurement of photon helicity in $bto sgamma$ transitions thus serving as an important test of physics beyond the Standard Model. In this paper we analyze the complete angular distribution of ground state $b$-baryon ($Lambda_{b}^{0}$ and $Xi_{b}^{-}$) radiative decays to multibody final states assuming an initially polarized $b$-baryon sample. Our sensitivity study suggests that the photon polarization asymmetry can be extracted to a good accuracy along with a simultaneous measurement of the initial $b$-baryon polarization. With higher yields of $b$-baryons, achievable in subsequent runs of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), we find that the photon polarization measurement can play a pivotal role in constraining different new physics scenarios.

A measurement of the photon polarization in radiative penguin $B$ decays provides a test of the Standard Model and a probe for New Physics, that can lead to a deviation from the Standard Model prediction of left-handed photons in $bto s gamma$. We pr
opose a new method to measure the photon polarization using the baryonic decay $B^- to Lambdabar{p} gamma$. The $P$-violating $Lambda$-hyperon decay allows a measurement of the $Lambda$ helicity to be performed, which can be uniquely related to the photon polarization in a model-independent way. The $B^- to Lambdabar{p} gamma$ decay was recently measured to have a large branching fraction providing a possibility to get meaningful results with the data already available at LHC and B-factory experiments. An increase of the $B$-meson sample at high luminosity LHC experiments and Belle II should provide a really stringent test by using this method already in the near future.
Motivated by recent measurements of the radiative decay rates of the emph{P}-wave spin singlet charmonium $h_c$ to the light meson $eta$ or $eta^prime$ by the BESIII Collaboration, we investigate the decay rates of these channels at order $alpha alph
a_s^4$. The photon is radiated mainly from charm quark pairs in the lowest order Feynman diagrams, since the diagrams where a photon radiated from light quarks are suppressed by $alpha_s$ or the relative charm quark velocity $v$, due to Charge parity conservation. The form factors of two gluons to $eta$ or $eta^prime$ are employed, which are the major mechanism for $eta$ and $eta^prime$ productions. $eta(eta^prime)$ is treated as a light cone object when we consider that the parent charmonium mass is much heavier than that of the final light meson. We obtain the branching ratio ${cal B}(h_cto gammaeta^prime) = (1.94^{+0.70}_{-0.51})times 10^{-3}$ in the nonrelativistic QCD approach, which is in agreement with the BESIII measurement. The prediction of the branching ratio of $h_cto gammaeta$ is also within the range of experimental error after including the larger uncertainty of the total decay width $Gamma_{h_c}$. The applications of these formulae to the radiative decays to $eta(eta^prime)$ of the emph{P}-wave spin singlet bottomonium $h_b(nP)$ are presented. These studies will shed some light on the $eta - eta^prime$ mixing effects, the flavor SU(3) symmetry breaking, as well as the nonperturbative dynamics of charmonium and bottomonium.
The LHCb collaboration has presented first experimental evidence that spin-carrying matter and antimatter differ. The study looked at four-body decays of the $Lambda_b^0$ baryon. Differences in the behaviour of matter and antimatter are associated wi
th the non-invariance of fundamental interactions under the combined charge-conjugation and parity transformations, known as $C!P$ violation. We discuss purely baryonic decay processes, i.e. decay processes involving only spin-carrying particles. They are yet unexplored elementary processes. Their study opens a new chapter of flavour physics in the route towards a better understanding of $C!P$ violation. It may help us to understand the observed matter and antimatter asymmetry of the Universe.
We provide a comprehensive test of factorization in the heavy-heavy $B$ decays motivated by the recent experimental data from BELLE and BABAR collaborations. The penguin effects are not negligible in the B decays with two pseudoscalar mesons. The dir
ect CP asymmetries are found to be a few percent. We give estimates on the weak annihilation contributions by analogy to the observed annihilation-dominated processes. The $N_c$ insensitivity of branching ratios indicates that the soft final state interactions are not dominant. We also study the polarizations in $Bto D^*D_{(s)}^*$ decays. The power law shows that the transverse perpendicular polarization fraction is small. The effects of the heavy quark symmetry breaking caused by the perturbative QCD and power corrections on the transverse polarization are also investigated.
The polarization of photons produced in radiative $B^{0}_{s}$ decays is studied for the first time. The data are recorded by the LHCb experiment in $pp$ collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3fb$^{-1}$ at center-of-mass energies of
$7$ and $8$TeV. A time-dependent analysis of the $B^{0}_{s} to phi gamma$ decay rate is conducted to determine the parameter ${mathcal{A}}^Delta$, which is related to the ratio of right- over left-handed photon polarization amplitudes in $b to s gamma$ transitions. A value of ${mathcal{A}}^Delta=-0.98^{,+0.46,+0.23}_{,-0.52,-0.20}$ is measured. This result is consistent with the Standard Model prediction within two standard deviations.
