Abstract

We explore the possibility of CP violation in baryonic Λb(Λc+,p+)π+μμ\Lambda_b\to(\Lambda_c^+, p^+)\pi^+\mu^-\mu^- decays which are mediated by two Majorana sterile neutrino and are ΔL=2|\Delta L|=2 lepton number violating processes. Appreciable CP asymmetry can be obtained if there are two on-shell Majorana neutrinos that are quasi-degenerate in mass with the mass difference of the order of average decay widths. We find that given the present constraints on the heavy to light mixing element VμN|V_{\mu N}|, the Λbp+π+μμ\Lambda_b\to p^+\pi^+\mu^-\mu^- and ΛbΛc+π+μμ\Lambda_b\to \Lambda_c^+\pi^+\mu^-\mu^- decay rates are suppressed but could be within the experimental reach at the LHC. If searches of the modes are performed, then experimental limits on the rates can be translated to constraints on the Majorana neutrino mass mNm_N and heavy to light mixing element squared VμN2|V_{\mu N}|^2. We show that the constraints on the (mN,VμN2)(m_N, |V_{\mu N}|^2) parameter space coming from the ΔL=2|\Delta L| = 2 baryonic decays are complementary to the bounds coming from other processes.
