Radiative decays of negative parity heavy baryons in QCD

Abstract

The transition form factors responsible for the radiative ${\Sigma }_Q\to {\Lambda }_Q\gamma$ and ${\Xi }_Q^{\prime }\to \Xi \gamma$ decays of the negative parity baryons are examined within light cone QCD sum rules. The decay widths of the radiative transitions are calculated using the obtained results of the form factors.
