Abstract

The polarimeter vector field for multibody decays of a spin-half baryon is introduced as a generalisation of the baryon asymmetry parameters. Using a recent amplitude analysis of the Λc+pKπ+\Lambda^+_\mathrm{c} \to p K^- \pi^+ decay performed at the LHCb experiment, we compute the distribution of the kinematic-dependent polarimeter vector for this process in the space of Mandelstam variables to express the polarised decay rate in a model-agnostic form. The obtained representation can facilitate polarisation measurements of the Λc+\Lambda^+_\mathrm{c} baryon and eases inclusion of the Λc+pKπ+\Lambda^+_\mathrm{c} \to p K^- \pi^+ decay mode in hadronic amplitude analyses.
