abstract
We perform a detailed analysis of the semileptonic $\Xi_b\rightarrow \Xi_c \ell^- \bar{\nu}_\ell$ decays within the perturbative QCD framework. In our study, the $\Xi_b\rightarrow \Xi_c$ transition form factors are calculated using several popular models for baryonic light-cone distribution amplitudes. These form factors are then employed to analyze a range of observable quantities for the semileptonic processes via the helicity formalism. Our work presents predictions for the branching fractions of these decays for both the $\tau$ and $e$ channels. Notably, the obtained lepton flavor universality ratio, $\mathcal{R}_{\Xi_c}\approx 0.3$, may offer new insights into the $\mathcal{R}^{(*)}$ puzzle. Furthermore, we investigate various angular observables, such as forward-backward asymmetries, lepton-side convexity parameters, and polarization asymmetries, which provide complementary information regarding potential new physics in $b$-baryonic semileptonic transitions. The numerical results for these angular observables are presented as both functions of $q^2$ and as averaged values. We observe that the lepton mass plays a significant role in shaping the angular distributions, affecting most of the observables under consideration. These results are expected to be valuable for both current and future experimental investigations of semileptonic heavy-to-heavy baryon decays.

Revisiting $\bar B^0 \rightarrow \Lambda_c^+ \bar p$ decay with higher twist corrections
Higher-twist LCDAs plus W-exchange produce destructive interference that lowers the PQCD branching fraction of B-bar0 to Lambda_c+ p-bar to ~1.6e-5, matching experiment, while predicting the suppressed mode at order 10^{-8}.

$b \to c$ semileptonic sum rule: SU(3)$_{\rm{F}}$ symmetry violation
The SU(3) flavor symmetry violation in the extended b to c semileptonic sum rule is smaller than expected future experimental uncertainties, supporting new physics-agnostic consistency checks.

Semileptonic neutral current decays of $\Xi_b$ with dileptons or dineutrinos in the final state
Perturbative QCD calculations find that branching fractions for Ξ_b to Ξ lepton-pair decays lie within LHCb reach and that angular observables plus a specific ratio can constrain Wilson coefficients and extract |V_td/...
