Abstract

The forward-backward angular asymmetry (AFB{\cal A}_{FB}) for Bˉ0Λpˉπ+\bar B^0\to \Lambda\bar p\pi^+ measured by Belle has presented an experimental value in the range of 30%-30\% to 50%-50\%. In our study, we find that AFB[Bˉ0Λpˉπ+(BΛpˉπ0)]{\cal A}_{FB}[\bar B^0\to\Lambda\bar p \pi^+(B^-\to \Lambda\bar p\pi^0)] can be as large as (14.61.5+0.9±6.9)%(-14.6^{+0.9}_{-1.5}\pm 6.9)\%. In addition, we present AFB[Bˉ0Λpˉρ+(BΛpˉρ0)]=(4.10.7+2.8±2.0)%{\cal A}_{FB}[\bar B^0\to\Lambda\bar p \rho^+(B^-\to \Lambda\bar p\rho^0)] =(4.1^{+2.8}_{-0.7}\pm 2.0)\% as the first prediction involving a vector meson in the charmless BBBˉMB\to{\bf B\bar B'}M decays. While AFB(BΛpˉM){\cal A}_{FB}(B\to\Lambda\bar p M) indicates an angular correlation caused by the rarely studied baryonic form factors in the timelike region, LHCb and Belle~II are capable of performing experimental examinations.
