Abstract

We perform an analysis of ΛbΛ(1520)\Lambda_b\to\Lambda(1520) local form factors. We use dispersive techniques to provide a model-independent parametrisation of the form factors that can be used in the whole kinematic region. We use lattice QCD data to constrain the free parameters in the form factors expansion, which is further constrained by endpoint relations, dispersive bounds, and SCET relations. We analyse different scenarios, where we expand the form factors up to different orders, and their viability. Finally, we use our results to obtain predictions for some observables in ΛbΛ(1520)+\Lambda_b\to\Lambda(1520)\ell^+\ell^- decays, as the differential branching ratio, the forward-backwards lepton asymmetry and the branching ratio of ΛbΛ(1520)γ\Lambda_b\to\Lambda(1520)\gamma. Finally, we provide a python notebook based on the software EOS to reproduce our result.
