Abstract

sus\to u weak decays of heavy flavor hadrons play a unique role in the field of heavy flavor physics. In this work, we investigate semileptonic sus\to u decays of singly heavy baryons in the light-front approach under the three-quark picture. Firstly, we provide all the form factors using this quark model, especially for f3f_{3} and g3g_{3}, which are usually considered non-extractable in recent literature. We also discuss the heavy quark limit for the form factors, and some of our results differ from those in the literature. We find that, when considering the heavy quark limit, the msm_{s} correction may not be negligible. Secondly, we apply the obtained form factors to predict some observables in semileptonic decays. It is worth noting that, due to the extremely small phase space, lepton flavor universality (LFU) is sensitive to the masses of leptons, and precise measurement of LFU is expected to be an important tool for testing the standard model.
