Abstract

In this paper, we carry out a detailed study of doubly-charmed baryon production in ZZ boson decay, on the basis of the nonrelativistic QCD factorization. With the inclusion of the di-quark states (cc)[3S1]3ˉ(cc)[^3S_1]_{\bar{\textbf{3}}} and (cc)[1S0]6(cc)[^1S_0]_{{\textbf{6}}}, the branching ratio of BZΞcc+X\mathcal{B}_{Z \to \Xi_{cc}+X} is predicted to be of the 10510^{-5} order, indicating its experimental measurability. By comparing to the Λc+\Lambda^{+}_{c} yield in ZZ decay, we predict RΞcc+(=Γ(ZΞcc+)×B(Ξcc+Λc+Kπ+)Γ(ZΛc+))=(0.850.07+0.10)×104\mathcal{R}_{\Xi_{cc}^{+}}(=\frac{\Gamma(Z \to \Xi^{+}_{cc}) \times \mathcal{B}(\Xi^{+}_{cc} \to \Lambda_c^{+}K^{-}\pi^{+})}{\Gamma(Z \to \Lambda_c^{+})})=(0.85^{+0.10}_{-0.07}) \times 10^{-4} and RΞcc++(=Γ(ZΞcc++)×B(Ξcc++Λc+Kπ+π+)Γ(ZΛc+))=(1.700.14+0.20)×104\mathcal{R}_{\Xi_{cc}^{++}}(=\frac{\Gamma(Z \to \Xi^{++}_{cc}) \times \mathcal{B}(\Xi^{++}_{cc} \to \Lambda_c^{+}K^{-}\pi^{+}\pi^{+})}{\Gamma(Z \to \Lambda_c^{+})})=(1.70^{+0.20}_{-0.14}) \times 10^{-4}, which are at clear variance with the SELEX measurements but comparable with the values given by the LHCb and Belle collaborations.
