Abstract

Angular distribution of the final particles in the decay Λc+KΔ(1232)++Kpπ+\Lambda_c^+\to K^- \, \Delta (1232)^{++} \to K^- \, p \, \pi^+ of the polarized charmed baryon is discussed. Asymmetries are proposed which allow for determination of the components of the Λc+\Lambda_c^+ polarization vector. The precession angle of the polarization in the process of baryon channeling in a bent crystal is directly related to these asymmetries. The decay rate and asymmetry parameter for the Λc+KΔ(1232)++\Lambda_c^+\to K^- \, \Delta (1232)^{++} decay are calculated in the pole model and compared with experiment.
