Abstract

We report a feasibility study of the semileptonic decay Λpeνˉe\Lambda\to pe^{-} {\bar\nu}_{e} by using a fast simulation software package at STCF. With an anticipated integrated luminosity of 3.4 trillion J/ψJ/\psi per year at a center-of-mass energy at 3.097 GeV, the statistical sensitivity of the branching fraction is determined to be 0.15\%. The statistical sensitivities of form factors gavg_{av} and gwg_w are determined to be 0.4\% and 2.15\%, respectively. Combining this result with g1(0)g_1(0) from Lattice QCD, we can obtain the projected sensitivity of Vus|V_{us}|, to be 0.9\%, which is comparable to the precision obtained through meson decay measurements. The precise measurement to be obtained at STCF will provide a rigorous test of Standard Model.
