Abstract

We present, for the first time, the six-fold differential decay density expression for Λb0Λc+lνˉl\Lambda^0_b\to\Lambda^+_{c} l^- \bar{\nu}_{l}, taking into account the polarisation of the Λb0\Lambda^0_b baryon and a complete basis of new physics operators. Using the expected yield in the current dataset collected at the LHCb experiment, we present sensitivity studies to determine the experimental precision on the Wilson coefficients of the new physics operators with Λb0Λc+μνˉμ\Lambda^0_{b}\to\Lambda^+_{c}\mu^{-}\bar{\nu}_{\mu} decays in two scenarios. In the first case, unpolarised Λb0Λc+μνˉμ\Lambda^0_{b}\to\Lambda^+_{c}\mu^{-}\bar{\nu}_{\mu} decays with Λc+pK+π\Lambda^+_c\to p K^+ \pi^- are considered, whereas polarised Λb0Λc+μνˉμ\Lambda^0_{b}\to\Lambda^+_{c}\mu^{-}\bar{\nu}_{\mu} decays with Λc+pKS0\Lambda^+_c \to p K^0_S are studied in the second. For the latter scenario, the experimental precision that can be achieved on the determination of Λb0\Lambda^0_b polarisation and Λc+\Lambda^+_c weak decay asymmetry parameter is also presented.
