Abstract

We study the semileptonic and non-leptonic charmed baryon decays with SU(3)SU(3) flavor symmetry, where the charmed baryons can be Bc=(Ξc0,Ξc+,Λc+){\bf B}_{c}=(\Xi_c^0,\Xi_c^+,\Lambda_c^+), Bc=(Σc(++,+,0),Ξc(+,0),Ωc0){\bf B}'_{c}=(\Sigma_c^{(++,+,0)},\Xi_{c}^{\prime(+,0)},\Omega_c^0), Bcc=(Ξcc++,Ξcc+,Ωcc+){\bf B}_{cc}=(\Xi_{cc}^{++},\Xi_{cc}^+,\Omega_{cc}^+), or Bccc=Ωccc++{\bf B}_{ccc}=\Omega^{++}_{ccc}. With Bn(){\bf B}_n^{(\prime)} denoted as the baryon octet (decuplet), we find that the BcBn+ν{\bf B}_{c}\to {\bf B}'_n\ell^+\nu_\ell decays are forbidden, while the Ωc0Ω+ν\Omega_c^0\to \Omega^-\ell^+\nu_\ell, Ωcc+Ωc0+ν\Omega_{cc}^+\to\Omega_c^0\ell^+\nu_\ell, and Ωccc++Ωcc++ν\Omega_{ccc}^{++}\to \Omega_{cc}^+\ell^+\nu_\ell decays are the only existing Cabibbo-allowed modes for BcBn+ν{\bf B}'_{c}\to {\bf B}'_n\ell^+\nu_\ell, BccBc+ν{\bf B}_{cc}\to {\bf B}'_c\ell^+\nu_\ell, and BcccBcc()+ν{\bf B}_{ccc}\to {\bf B}_{cc}^{(\prime)}\ell^+\nu_\ell, respectively. We predict the rarely studied BcBn()M{\bf B}_{c}\to {\bf B}_n^{(\prime)}M decays, such as B(Ξc0Λ0Kˉ0,Ξc+Ξ0π+)=(8.3±0.9,8.0±4.1)×103{\cal B}(\Xi_c^0\to\Lambda^0\bar K^0,\,\Xi_c^+\to\Xi^0\pi^+)=(8.3\pm 0.9,8.0\pm 4.1)\times 10^{-3} and B(Λc+Δ++π,Ξc0ΩK+)=(5.5±1.3,4.8±0.5)×103{\cal B}(\Lambda_c^+\to \Delta^{++}\pi^-,\,\Xi_c^0\to\Omega^- K^+)=(5.5\pm 1.3,4.8\pm 0.5)\times 10^{-3}. For the observation, the doubly and triply charmed baryon decays of Ωcc+Ξc+Kˉ0\Omega_{cc}^{+}\to \Xi_c^+\bar K^0, Ξcc++(Ξc+π+\Xi_{cc}^{++}\to (\Xi_c^+\pi^+, Σc++Kˉ0)\Sigma_c^{++}\bar K^0), and Ωccc++(Ξcc++Kˉ0,Ωcc+π+,Ξc+D+)\Omega_{ccc}^{++}\to (\Xi_{cc}^{++}\bar K^0,\Omega_{cc}^+\pi^+,\Xi_c^+ D^+) are the favored Cabibbo-allowed decays, which are accessible to the BESIII and LHCb experiments.
