Abstract

We study the full angular distribution of semileptonic rare charm baryon decays in which the secondary baryon undergoes weak decay with sizable polarization parameter, 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^-. Such self-analyzing decay chains allow for seven additional observables compared to three-body decays such as Λcp+\Lambda_c \to p \ell^+ \ell^-, with different sensitivities to the Δc=Δu=1|\Delta c|=|\Delta u|=1 weak couplings. Opportunities to test the standard model in cuc \to u transitions with standard model null tests and other angular observables are worked out. We show that a joint model-independent analysis of the leptonic AFBA_{\text{FB}}^\ell, hadronic AFBHA_{\text{FB}}^{\text{H}}, and combined forward-backward asymmetry AFBHA_{\text{FB}}^{\ell\text{H}} together with the fraction of longitudinally produced leptons, FLF_L, is able to pin down the dipole couplings C7,C7C_{7},C^\prime_{7} and the semileptonic (axial-) vector ones C10,C9,C10C_{10},C^\prime_{9},C^\prime_{10}. AFBHA_{\text{FB}}^{\text{H}} is also accessible with dineutrino cuννˉc \to u \nu \bar \nu modes and probes right-handed currents.
