Abstract

We determine the hyperon vector couplings f1(0)f_1(0) for Σnlνlˉ\Sigma^{-}\rightarrow nl^-\bar{\nu_l} and Ξ0Σ+lνlˉ\Xi^0\rightarrow\Sigma^{+}l^-\bar{\nu_l} semileptonic decays in the continuum limit with (2+1)-flavors of dynamical domain-wall fermions, using the Iwasaki gauge action at two different lattice spacings of aa=0.114(2) and 0.086(2) fm. A theoretical estimation of flavor SU(3)-breaking effect on the vector coupling is required to extract VusV_{us} from the experimental rate of hyperon beta decays. We obtain the vector couplings f1(0)f_1(0) for ΣN\Sigma\rightarrow N and ΞΣ\Xi\rightarrow \Sigma beta-decays with an accuracy of less than one percent. We then find that lattice results of f1(0)f_1(0) combined with the best estimate of Vus|V_{us}| with imposing Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) unitarity are slightly deviated from the experimental result of Vusf1(0)|V_{us}f_1(0)| for the ΣN\Sigma\rightarrow N beta-decay. This discrepancy can be attributed to an assumption made in the experimental analysis on Vusf1(0)|V_{us}f_1(0)|, where the induced second-class form factor g2g_2 is set to be zero regardless of broken SU(3) symmetry. We report on this matter and then estimate the possible value of g2(0)g_2(0), which is evaluated from the experimental decay rate with our lattice result of f1(0)f_1(0) under the first-row CKM-unitarity condition.
