Abstract

It is shown that for the effective Lagrangian with factorization ansatz considered here, the two body hadronic decay Bb(12+)B(12+,  32+)+V\mathcal{B}_{b}(\frac{1}{2}^+) \to \mathcal{B}(\frac{1}{2}^{+},\; \frac{3}{2}^{+}) + V, for Bb(12+)\mathcal{B}_{b}(\frac{1}{2}^{+}) belonging to the representation 3ˉ\bar{3}, only allowed decay channel is Bb(12+)B(12+)+V\mathcal{B}_{b}(\frac{1}{2}^+) \to \mathcal{B}(\frac{1}{2}^{+})+ V, where B(12+)\mathcal{B}(\frac{1}{2}^{+}) belongs to the representation 88 of SU(3)SU(3). However, for Bb(12+)\mathcal{B}_{b}(\frac{1}{2}^{+}) belonging to the sextet representation 66, the allowed decay channels are Bb(12+)B(12+,  32+)+V\mathcal{B}_{b}(\frac{1}{2}^+) \to \mathcal{B}(\frac{1}{2}^{+},\; \frac{3}{2}^{+}) + V, where B(12+)\mathcal{B}(\frac{1}{2}^{+}) and B(32+)\mathcal{B}(\frac{3}{2}^{+}) belongs to the octet representation 88^{\prime} and the decuplet 1010 of SU(3)SU(3), respectively. The decay channel Bb(12+)B(12+)+V\mathcal{B}_{b}(\frac{1}{2}^+) \to \mathcal{B}(\frac{1}{2}^{+}) + V is analyzed in detail. The decay rate (Γ\Gamma) and the asymmetry parameters α  ,α  ,β  ,γ\alpha\;, \alpha^{\prime}\;, \beta\;, \gamma and γ\gamma^{\prime} are expressed in terms of four amplitudes. In particular for the decay ΛbΛ+J/ψ\Lambda_b \to \Lambda + J/\psi it is shown that within the factorization framework, using heavy quark spin symmetry, the decay rate and the asymmetry parameters can be expressed in terms of two form factors F1F_1 and F2/F1F_{2}/F_{1}, which are to be evaluated in some model. For other heavy quarks belonging to the triplet and sextet representation, the results can be easily obtained by using SU(3)SU(3) symmetry and phase space factor. Finally, the decay ΩbΩ+J/ψ\Omega_{b}^{-} \to \Omega^{-} + J/\psi is analyzed within the factorization framework. It is shown that the asymmetry parameter α\alpha in this particular decay is zero. The branching ratio obtained in the first approximation is compared with the experimental value.
