Abstract

Weak decays of the charmed baryons offer an ideal platform to study parity (PP) and charge conjugation-parity (C ⁣PC\!P) violation in quark sector, to stringently test the Standard Model and search for new physics. It is a key goal in the next-generation positron-electron collider, such as the Super Tau-Charm Facility (STCF). Thanks to the quantum-entangled pair production with super high luminosity and the possibility of beam polarization, STCF provides a unique environment to probe such symmetry violations with unprecedented sensitivity. In this paper, we evaluate the precisions of the PP-violating parameters and subsequently obtain the expected sensitivity of the C ⁣PC\!P-violating parameters in charmed baryon decays of Λc+pπ0\Lambda_{c}^{+}\to p\pi^0, pηp\eta, ΛK+\Lambda K^+, Σ0K+\Sigma^0 K^+, and Σ+KS0\Sigma^+ K^0_S, regarding to different polarization setups in STCF. The study suggests that the implementation of longitudinal beam polarization in STCF would greatly enhance the experimental capability in studying PP and C ⁣PC\!P violation.
