Abstract

Recently, several hints of lepton non-universality have been observed in the semileptonic B meson decays in terms of both in the neutral current (bsllˉb\to s l \bar{l}) and charged current (bclνlˉb\to c l \bar{\nu_{l}}) transitions. Motivated by these inspiring results, we perform the analysis of the baryon decays ΣbΣclνlˉ{\Sigma_b}\to \Sigma_c l \bar{\nu_{l}} and ΩbΩclνlˉ(l=e,μ,τ)\Omega_b\to \Omega_c l \bar{\nu_{l}} (l=e,\mu,\tau) which are mediated by bclνlˉ b \to c l \bar{\nu_{l}} transitions at the quark level, to scrutinize the nature of new physics (NP) in the model independent method. We first use the experimental measurements of B(BD()lνlˉ)\mathcal{B}( B\to D^{(*)} l\bar{\nu_{l}}), RD(){\rm R}_{D^{(*)}} and RJ/ψ{\rm R}_{J/\psi} to constrain the NP coupling parameters in a variety of scenarios. Using the constrained NP coupling parameters, we report numerical results on various observables related to the processes ΣbΣclνlˉ{\Sigma_b}\to \Sigma_c l \bar{\nu_{l}} and ΩbΩclνlˉ\Omega_b\to \Omega_c l \bar{\nu_{l}}, such as the branching ratios, the ratio of branching fractions, the lepton side forward-backward asymmetries, the hadron and lepton longitudinal polarization asymmetries and the convexity parameter. We also provide the q2q^2 dependency of these observables and we hope that the corresponding numerical results in this work will be testified by future experiments.
