Enhancement of preasymptotic effects in inclusive beauty decays

Abstract

We extend Voloshin's recent analysis of charmed and beauty hyperon decays based on SU(3) symmetry and heavy quark effective theory, by introducing a rather moderate model-dependence, in order to obtain more predictive power, e.g. the values of lifetimes of the (Λ_{b},Ξ_{b}) hyperon triplet and the lifetime of Ω_{b}. In this way we obtain an improvement of the ratio τ(Λ_{b})/τ(B_{d}^{0}) \sim 0.9 and the hierarchy of lifetimes τ(Λ_{b}) \simeq τ(Ξ_{b}^{0}) < τ(Ξ_{b}^{-}) < τ(Ω_{b}) with lifetimes of Ξ_{b}^{-} and Ω_{b} exceeding the lifetime of Λ_{b} by 22% and 35%, respectively.
