Semi-leptonic Decay of Lambda-b in the Standard Model and with New Physics

Abstract

Heavy quark decays provide a very advantageous investigation to test the Standard Model (SM). Recently, promising experiments with \textit{b} quark, as well as the analysis of the huge data sets produced at the B factories, have led to an increasing study and sensitive measurements of relative \textit{b} quark decays. In this thesis, I calculate various observables in the semi-leptonic decay process ${\Lambda }_b\to {\Lambda }_c\tau {\bar{\nu }}_{\tau }$ both in the SM and in the presence of New Physics (NP) operators with different Lorentz structures. The results are relevant for the coming measurement of this semi-leptonic decay at LHC \textit{b} experiment in CERN, and also provide theoretical predictions to refine the physics beyond the SM.
