Recently there has been much interest in the tauonic semileptonic meson decays B -> D + tau + nu_tau and B -> D* + tau + nu_tau where one has found larger rates than what is predicted by the Standard Model. We analyze the corresponding semileptonic baryon decays Lambda_b(0) -> Lambda_c(+) + tau(-) + antinu_tau with particular emphasis on the lepton helicity flip and scalar contributions which vanish for zero lepton masses. We calculate the total rate, differential decay distributions, the longitudinal and transverse polarization of the daughter baryon Lambda_c(+) and the tau-lepton, and the lepton-side forward-backward asymmetries. The nonvanishing polarization of the daughter baryon Lambda_c(+) leads to hadron-side asymmetries in e.g. the decay Lambda_c(+) -> Lambda(0) + pi(+) and azimuthal correlations between the two final state decay planes which we specify. We provide numerical results on these observables using results of the covariant confined quark model. We find large lepton mass effects in the q2-spectra and in the polarization observables.

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A leading-order pQCD calculation of all six Lambda_b to Lambda_c form factors, z-expanded and anchored to a lattice QCD point, predicts R_Lambda_c = 0.29+0.12-0.11, slightly above LHCb.

    Tau polarization in baryonic semileptonic decays supplies the leading sensitivity to lift EFT degeneracies unresolved by meson measurements in b to c tau nu transitions.

    hep-ph 2025-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    With a new harmonic-oscillator model for the omega's transverse light-cone distribution amplitude, QCD light-cone sum rules reproduce the measured D+→ωℓν branching fractions and predict angular observables.

    hep-ph 2025-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A QCD sum rule analysis that includes negative parity baryon states and condensates up to dimension 8 obtains Lambda_b semileptonic branching ratios near 8 percent and predicts Xi_b rates near 14 percent.

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Molecular two-pole D0*(2300) decay constants are 65 and 81 MeV—much smaller than compact c¯q estimates—and imply Cabibbo-favored b-hadron branching fractions of order 10^{-5}.

    hep-ph 2025-10 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    QCD sum-rule calculation predicts Ω_b^*→Ω_c and Ω_b→Ω_c^* semileptonic and nonleptonic decay widths, e.g. Γ(Ω_b^*→Ω_c eν)=(1.54+0.29−0.27)×10^-14 GeV.
