Lifetimes and Decay Modes of Beauty Baryons
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent measurements of the lifetimes and semileptonic branching fractions of beauty baryons at LEP and the Tevatron are reviewed and new world averages are presented. There remains some discrepancy between the theoretical predictions for the lifetimes of beauty baryons and the observed values.

How to Search for Doubly Charmed Baryons and Tetraquarks
Possible experimental searches of doubly charmed baryons and tetraquarks at fixed target experiments with high energy hadron beams and a high intensity spectrometer are considered here. The baryons considered are: Ξ+cc (ccd), Ξ cc (ccu), and Ω + cc (ccs); and the tetraquark is T (ccūd̄). Estimates are given of masses, lifetimes, internal structure, production cross sections, decay modes, branchi...

Weak radiative decays of beauty baryons into strange baryons, induced by the elec-troweak penguin, are estimated by using a quark model approach. Relations between formfactors in the semileptonic and in the weak radiative decays are derived within the heavy quark effective theory. The partial decay widths are found to be of the order of 10 −15 MeV for Λ b → Λγ and Ξ b → Ξγ and of the oder of 10...

The comparison of measurements performed on a number of such modes at ee experiments with theoretical expectations has provided a wealth of information. The CDF II experiment has access to a large yield of these decays at the Tevatron collider, thanks to a dedicated trigger on secondary decay vertices . In addition, it is also sensitive to the corresponding decays of Bs mesons and beauty baryon...
متن کاملMeasurements of Exclusive B-hadron Lifetimes at Lep
Measurements of exclusive b-hadron lifetimes at LEP are reviewed. Each LEP experiment has collected about 3.5 million hadronic Z 0 decays between 1990 and 1994. This data allows to identify a large variety of exclusive decay chains of a speciic b hadron with suitable statistics to measure lifetimes. The world averages of exclusive b hadron lifetimes have gained a precision of less than 10%. The...
متن کاملTwo - Prong , Two - Body Decays of Beauty
There are four two-body, two-prong decays modes of B mesons and two for beauty baryons and they are quite rare, i.e., their branching ratios are not expected to exceed the 0 (lo-') 1 evel. Yet a detailed study of their relative rates with a sensitivity level of 10M5 can yield unique and important information on strong interactions. If the evolution of these reactions in proper time can be trace...
