Exclusive semileptonic Lambda_b decays to excited charmed Lambda_c baryons are investigated at order Lambda_{QCD}/m_Q in the heavy quark effective theory. The differential decay rates are analyzed for the J^\pi=1/2^- Lambda_c(2593) and the J^\pi=3/2^- \Lambda_c(2625). They receive 1/m_{c,b} corrections at zero recoil that are determined by mass splittings and the leading order Isgur-Wise function. With some assumptions, we find that the branching fraction for Lambda_b decays to these states is 2.5-3.3%. The decay rate to the helicity \pm 3/2 states, which vanishes for m_Q \to \infty, remains small at order Lambda_{QCD}/m_Q since 1/m_c corrections do not contribute. Matrix elements of weak currents between a Lambda_b and other excited Lambda_c states are analyzed at zero-recoil to order Lambda_{QCD}/m_Q. Applications to baryonic heavy quark sum-rules are explored.

  1. An introduction to Hammer v2: Helicity Amplitude Module for Matrix Element Reweighting

    hep-ph 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Hammer v2 updates the helicity amplitude reweighting library with near-linear scaling for high-dimensional tensor operations in BSM and form-factor spaces plus improved Python bindings.

  2. Probing the $\Lambda_{b}\to \Lambda_{c}^{*}\tau \bar{\nu}_{\tau}$ decays with leptoquarks

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    In the U1 and S1 leptoquark models, the ratio R_Λ_c* for Λ_b -> Λ_c*(2595,2625) τ ν̄_τ decays deviates from the Standard Model prediction, making it a promising probe of new physics.
