Weak Decays of Doubly Heavy Baryons: W-Exchange

Abstract

Since the LHCb collaboration announced the observation of the doubly charmed baryon $Ξ_{cc}^{++}$, a series of studies of doubly heavy baryons have been presented. In this work, I analyse the non-leptonic weak decays of doubly heavy baryons $Ξ_{bc}$ and $Ω_{bc}$ under the flavor $SU(3)$ symmetry. I mainly focus on the $W$-exchange diagrams, which will contribute to the decay channels with final states are light meson and light baryon. These channels would be helpful for searching for $Ξ_{bc}$ and $Ω_{bc}$ at LHC. And these channels and relations of corresponding decay widths could be examined by the future experimental facilities such as LHC, Belle II and CEPC.
