Abstract

We investigate the exclusive semilpetonic decays of Λc+(Λ/n)+ν (=e,μ)\Lambda^{+}_{c}\to (\Lambda/n) \ell^{+} \nu_{\ell}~(\ell=e,\mu) within the standard model by using the light-front quark model (LFQM). The form factor behaviors are obtained from the effective treatment of nonvalence contributions in addition to the valence ones in the Drell-Yan-West frame due to the Bethe-Salpeter formalism. Based on these form factors, we find that the decay branching ratios of Λc+(Λe+νe,Λμ+νe,ne+νe,nμ+νe)\Lambda^{+}_{c}\to (\Lambda e^{+} \nu_{e},\,\Lambda \mu^{+} \nu_{e} ,\, n e^{+} \nu_{e},\, n \mu^{+} \nu_{e}) are about (3.39,3.21,0.36,0.35)% (3.39,\,3.21,\,0.36,\,0.35)\% with the non-valence contributions, which are consistent with the recent experimental measurements at BESIII. Furthermore, we use the experimental data to fit the β\beta parameters in the baryonic distribution amplitudes under the LFQM, resulting in (βΛc,βΛ,βn)=(0.58±0.08,0.52±0.08,0.44±0.04)\beta_{\Lambda_{c}},\beta_{\Lambda}, \beta_{n})= (0.58\pm0.08, 0.52\pm0.08,0.44\pm0.04).
