Abstract

We study the semileptonic decays of Λc+Λ(n)+ν\Lambda_c^+ \to \Lambda(n)\ell^+ \nu_{\ell} in two relativistic dynamical approaches of the light-front constituent quark model (LFCQM) and MIT bag model (MBM). By considering the Fermi statistic between quarks and determining spin-flavor structures in baryons along with the helicity formalism in the two different dynamical models, we calculate the branching ratios (B{\cal B}s) and averaged asymmetry parameters (α\alphas) in the decays. Explicitly, we find that B(Λc+Λe+νe)=(3.36±0.87,3.48)%{\cal B}( \Lambda_c^+ \to \Lambda e^+ \nu_{e})=(3.36\pm0.87,3.48)\% and α(Λc+Λe+νe)=(0.97±0.03,0.83){\alpha}( \Lambda_c^+ \to \Lambda e^+ \nu_{e})=(-0.97\pm0.03,-0.83) in (LFCQM, MBM), in comparison with the data of B(Λc+Λe+νe)=(3.6±0.4)%{\cal B}( \Lambda_c^+ \to \Lambda e^+ \nu_{e})=(3.6\pm0.4)\% and α(Λc+Λe+νe)=0.86±0.04{\alpha}( \Lambda_c^+ \to \Lambda e^+ \nu_{e})=-0.86\pm 0.04 given by the Particle Data Group, respectively. We also predict that B(Λc+ne+νe)=(0.57±0.15,3.6±1.5)×103{\cal B}( \Lambda_c^+ \to n e^+ \nu_{e})=(0.57\pm0.15, 3.6\pm1.5)\times 10^{-3} and α(Λc+ne+νe)=(0.98±0.02,0.96±0.04){\alpha}( \Lambda_c^+ \to n e^+ \nu_{e})=(-0.98\pm0.02,-0.96\pm0.04) in LFCQM with two different scenarios for the momentum distributions of quarks in the neutron, and B(Λc+ne+νe)=0.279×102{\cal B}( \Lambda_c^+ \to n e^+ \nu_{e})= 0.279\times 10^{-2} and α(Λc+ne+νe)=0.87{\alpha}( \Lambda_c^+ \to n e^+ \nu_{e})=-0.87 in MBM, which could be tested by the ongoing experiments at BESIII, LHCb and BELLEII.
