Semileptonic decay and form factors of $\hat{I}{\text{c◯}}_b^{-}\to \hat{I}{\text{c◯}}_c^{0}e\overline{\hat{I}{½}_e}$

Abstract

We investigated the heavy-to-heavy semileptonic decay $\hat{I}{\text{c◯}}_b^{-}\to \hat{I}{\text{c◯}}_c^{0}e\overline{\hat{I}{½}_e}$ within the framework of the Hypercentral Constituent Quark Model (HCQM). The ground-state masses of the involved baryons were evaluated by numerically solving the six-dimensional hyperradial Schrödinger equation, incorporating both hyper-Coulomb and linear confinement potentials along with spin-dependent interactions. The Heavy Quark Effective Field Theory (HQET) form factors are computed up to the subleading order, incorporating $1/m_Q$ corrections that account for finite mass effects beyond the heavy-quark symmetry limit. These form factors were then employed to analyse the heavy-to-heavy semileptonic decay rate via helicity formalism. The decay width and branching ratio results were compared to those obtained using various theoretical approaches.
