Semileptonic decay Lambda_c-->Lambda \ell^+ νfrom QCD light-cone sum rules
Abstract
Description
We present the study of the semileptonic decay Λ_c to Λ\ell^+νby using the light-cone sum rule approach. Distribution amplitudes (DAs) for the Λbaryon are discussed to the leading order conformal spin, and QCD sum rule estimate for the corresponding parameters is presented. The form factors describing the decay are calculated and used to predict the decay width and the decay asymmetry parameter α. With the inclusion of twist-3 contributions the calculated decay width Γ=(7.2+/-2.0)X10^{-14} GeV as well as asymmetry α=-(0.88+/-0.03) is found in good agreement with the experimental data, while there are appreciable deviations from experiment values when the higher twist contributions are included.
