abstract

We perform a detailed analysis of the semileptonic $\Xi_b\rightarrow \Xi_c \ell^- \bar{\nu}_\ell$ decays within the perturbative QCD framework. In our study, the $\Xi_b\rightarrow \Xi_c$ transition form factors are calculated using several popular models for baryonic light-cone distribution amplitudes. These form factors are then employed to analyze a range of observable quantities for the semileptonic processes via the helicity formalism. Our work presents predictions for the branching fractions of these decays for both the $\tau$ and $e$ channels. Notably, the obtained lepton flavor universality ratio, $\mathcal{R}_{\Xi_c}\approx 0.3$, may offer new insights into the $\mathcal{R}^{(*)}$ puzzle. Furthermore, we investigate various angular observables, such as forward-backward asymmetries, lepton-side convexity parameters, and polarization asymmetries, which provide complementary information regarding potential new physics in $b$-baryonic semileptonic transitions. The numerical results for these angular observables are presented as both functions of $q^2$ and as averaged values. We observe that the lepton mass plays a significant role in shaping the angular distributions, affecting most of the observables under consideration. These results are expected to be valuable for both current and future experimental investigations of semileptonic heavy-to-heavy baryon decays.

  1. Revisiting $\bar B^0 \rightarrow \Lambda_c^+ \bar p$ decay with higher twist corrections

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Higher-twist LCDAs plus W-exchange produce destructive interference that lowers the PQCD branching fraction of B-bar0 to Lambda_c+ p-bar to ~1.6e-5, matching experiment, while predicting the suppressed mode at order 10^{-8}.

  2. Investigation of $\Lambda_{b}\to \Lambda_{c} \ell^-\overline\nu_\ell$ Decays in Perturbative QCD Approach

    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.

  3. $b \to c$ semileptonic sum rule: SU(3)$_{\rm{F}}$ symmetry violation

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    The SU(3) flavor symmetry violation in the extended b to c semileptonic sum rule is smaller than expected future experimental uncertainties, supporting new physics-agnostic consistency checks.

  4. Semileptonic neutral current decays of $\Xi_b$ with dileptons or dineutrinos in the final state

    hep-ph 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Perturbative QCD calculations find that branching fractions for Ξ_b to Ξ lepton-pair decays lie within LHCb reach and that angular observables plus a specific ratio can constrain Wilson coefficients and extract |V_td/...

  5. Analysis of the semileptonic decays $\Lambda_b\to\Lambda_cl\bar{\nu}_l$ and $\Xi_b\to\Xi_cl\bar{\nu}_l$ in QCD sum rules

    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.
