Abstract

Properties of single beauty baryons (Σb,Λb\Sigma_{b},\Lambda_{b}) are studied based on the quark-diquark structure. The confinement potential is assumed as two body colour coulomb plus power potential with exponent ν\nu. We find a strong correlation between the choice of the heavy quark mass parameter (mbm_{b}), strong coupling constant (αs\alpha_{s}) and the potential exponent (ν\nu) for getting the experimental mass spilt of mΣbmΣb=21.2±2.0m_{\Sigma^{*}_{b}}- m_{\Sigma_{b}}=21.2\pm2.0 MeV. The resultant spectroscopic parameters are used for computing magnetic moments, the electromagnetic radiative decay, strong hadronic decay and semileptonic decay widths of Σb,Λb\Sigma_{b}, \Lambda_{b} systems. Our predictions on the radiative decay width correspond to Σb0Λbγ\Sigma^{*0}_{b}\rightarrow\Lambda_{b}\gamma are in agreement with the QCD sum rule prediction. The present results on the semileptonic decay widths of ΛbΛclνl\Lambda_{b}\rightarrow \Lambda_{c}l\nu_{l} (2.50-4.73) 1010s1 *10^{10} s^{-1} are in agreement with the experimental value of 3.590.936+1.2341010s13.59^{+1.234}_{-0.936} *10^{10} s^{-1} reported by (PDG 2010).
