𝚲𝒄 → 𝚲 form factors in lattice QCD

Abstract

Studying the semileptonic decays of charmed particles is prominent in testing the Standard Model of particle physics. Motivated by recent experimental progress in weak decays of the charm baryon sector, we study the form factors of Λc → Λ`ν transition on two flavor lattices. We compute twoand three-point functions, extract the dimensionless projected correlators, and combine them to form the Weinberg form factors. In the zero transferred momentum limit f1, f2 and g1 form factors are found to be in agreement with other models, furthermore f3 and g3 form factors are comparable to model determinations. The g2 form factor, on the other hand, is found to be mildly larger. We also evaluate the helicity form factors, which is consistent with the previous lattice studies.
