Spectator effects in semileptonic decay of charmed baryons
نویسنده
چکیده
It is shown that the absolute rate of the semileptonic decays of the Ξc baryons can be as much as two times higher than the semileptonic decay rate of Λc due to the Pauli interference of the strange quark. This interference effect is still larger in the semileptonic decay rate of Ωc. An experimental measurement of the difference of these rates would thus provide an important piece of information on the spectator effects in decays of hadrons containing a heavy quark.

Relations between inclusive decay rates of heavy baryons
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 rates, the differences in the Cabibbo suppressed decay rates of the charmed hyperons, and the splitting of the total decay rates of the b hyperons are all related...
متن کاملReducing model dependence of spectator effects in inclusive decays of heavy baryons
The dependence of inclusive weak decay rates of heavy hadrons on light spectator quarks is considered. The analysis of a previous work on relating the effects in b baryons to those in charmed baryons is extended to explicit evaluation of the matrix elements of certain four-quark operators over heavy baryons. It is shown that the usually postulated color antisymmetry of these matrix elements is ...
متن کاملINCLUSIVE SEMILEPTONIC DECAYS OF BOTTOM BARYONS AND MESONS INTO CHARMED AND UNCHARMED FINAL STATES: THE CASE OF INFINITELY HEAVY b AND c QUARKS*
Spectator model decay rates are predicted for inclusive semileptonic decays of the A* baryon and the B meson, in the limit of a very heavy b quark, in lowest order of perturbative QCD. For charmless final states the result is only achieved in a short distance limit, sharing similarities with the deep inelastic scattering situation, and allowing for a parton model interpretation. In all cases th...
متن کاملWeak Decays of Doubly Heavy Baryons: SU(3) Analysis
Motivated by the recent LHCb observation of doubly-charmed baryon Ξ cc in the Λc K −π+π+ final state, we analyze the weak decays of doubly heavy baryons Ξcc, Ωcc, Ξbc, Ωbc, Ξbb and Ωbb under the flavor SU(3) symmetry. Decay amplitudes for various semileptonic and nonleptonic decays are parametrized in terms of a few SU(3) irreducible amplitudes. We find a number of relations or sum rules betwee...
متن کاملBubble Chamber Experiments on Charmed Particle Lifetimes
The three current bubble chamber experiments on charmed particle lifetimes are compared. Their most recently released results are discussed. Although single charmed decay vertices have been seen in bubble chambers before, this discussion will cover the three current experiments. Two are at CERN and the third at SLAC. All use bubble chambers with relatively high resolution photographic technique...
