Purely Baryonic Weak Decays of Heavy Baryons in Skyrme Model

Authors

Abstract

Purely baryonic weak decays of heavy baryons are investigated within the framework of the Skyrme model. These decays belong to a new class of unobserved decay channels, which would help us to test the standard model, particularly potential sources of CP violation in the baryonic sector. By interpreting the heavy baryon as a bound state of a heavy meson and a baryon (Skyrmion), a direct calculation of the decay process $Λ_b \to p\,\bar p\,n$ is performed. The resulting branching fraction is of $\mathcal{O}(10^{-6})$, in agreement with previous estimates.
