Abstract

Rare Δc=Δu=1\vert \Delta c \vert=\vert \Delta u \vert=1 processes uniquely probe flavor in the Standard Model and beyond from the up-type quark sector. Opportunities to search for BSM physics in charm arise from the severe GIM suppression which kills SM contributions to leptonic axial-vector contributions and suppresses CP violation. Semileptonic decays of charmed hadrons offer a variety of clean null test observables, featuring new physics effects which are even enhanced by resonance contributions. In particular, angular observables in three- and self-analyzing four-body baryon decays, such as Λcp+\Lambda_c\to p \ell^+\ell^- and Ξc+Σ+(pπ0)+\Xi_c^+\to\Sigma^+(\to p\pi^0)\ell^+\ell^-, Ξc0Λ0(pπ)+\Xi_c^0\to\Lambda^0\,(\to p \pi^-)\ell^+\ell^- and Ωc0Ξ0(Λ0π0)+\Omega_c^0\to\Xi^0\,(\to \Lambda^{0} \pi^0)\ell^+\ell^- disentangle possible new physics effects in electromagnetic dipole couplings C7()C_7^{(\prime)} and (axial-)vector 4-fermion ones C9(10)()C^{(\prime)}_{9\,(10)}. There is sensitivity to BSM couplings as small as 0.01\sim 0.01.
