Color-allowed Bottom Baryon to Charmed Baryon non-leptonic Decays

Abstract

We study color allowed ${\Lambda }_b\to {\Lambda }_c^{(\ast ,\ast \ast )}{M}^{-}$, ${\Xi }_b\to {\Xi }_c^{(\ast \ast )}{M}^{-}$ and ${\Omega }_b\to {\Omega }_c^{(\ast )}{M}^{-}$ decays with $M=\pi ,K,\rho ,K^{\ast },D,D_s,D^{\ast },D_s^{\ast },a_1$, ${\Lambda }_c^{(\ast ,\ast \ast )}={\Lambda }_c$, ${\Lambda }_c(2595)$, ${\Lambda }_c(2765)$, ${\Lambda }_c(2940)$, ${\Xi }_c^{(\ast \ast )}={\Xi }_c,{\Xi }_c(2790)$ and ${\Omega }_c^{(\ast )}={\Omega }_c,{\Omega }_c(3090)$, in this work. There are three types of transitions, namely ${\mathcal{B}}_b({\bar{3}}_{\mathbf{f}},1/2^{+})$ to ${\mathcal{B}}_c({\bar{3}}_{\mathbf{f}},1/2^{+})$, ${\mathcal{B}}_b(6_{\mathbf{f}},1/2^{+})$ to ${\mathcal{B}}_c(6_{\mathbf{f}},1/2^{+})$ and ${\mathcal{B}}_b({\bar{3}}_{\mathbf{f}},1/2^{+})$ to ${\mathcal{B}}_c({\bar{3}}_{\mathbf{f}},1/2^{-})$ transitions. The bottom baryon to charmed baryon form factors are calculated using the light-front quark model. Decay rates and up-down asymmetries are predicted using naïve factorization and can be checked experimentally. We find that in ${\mathcal{B}}_b\to {\mathcal{B}}_{c}P$ decays, rates in type~(ii) transition are smaller than those in type (i) transition, but similar to those in type (iii) transition, while in ${\mathcal{B}}_b\to {\mathcal{B}}_{c}V,{\mathcal{B}}_{c}A$ decays, rates in type~(ii) transition are much smaller than those in type (i) transition and are also smaller than those in type (iii) transition. For the up-down asymmetries, the signs are mostly negative, except for those in the type (ii) transition. All of these asymmetries are large in sizes. The study on these decay modes may shed light on the quantum numbers of some of the charmed baryons as the decays depend on the bottom baryon to charmed baryon form factors, which are sensitive to the configurations of the final state charmed baryons.
