Abstract

Recently, the LHCb collaboration reported the first observation of CPCP violation in baryon decays, with a significance of more than 5σ5\sigma. This strongly motivates us to investigate the CPCP violation in more baryon decay processes. In this work, we employ the final-state rescattering mechanism with introducing two model parameters, Λcharm\Lambda_{charm} and Λcharmless\Lambda_{charmless}, and calculate two-body non-leptonic baryon decays Λb0Λ(1520)π0/κ(700)/f0(500,980)/ρ0/K0/ϕ\Lambda^0_b \rightarrow \Lambda(1520)\,\pi^0/\kappa(700)/f_0(500, 980)/\rho^0/K^{*0}/\phi and ΞbΛ(1520)K\Xi^-_b \rightarrow \Lambda(1520)\,K^-. Consequently, we evaluate the corresponding branching ratios, CPCP asymmetries, and interference effects between different decay amplitudes. Our theoretical predictions for certain decay channels are in good agreement with current experimental measurements, while the remaining processes--particularly the remarkably large CPCP violation observable revealed by the kinematic analysis are expected to be tested in future experiments.
