Abstract

We discuss the possibility of searching for the \Lam\Lamb\Lam - \Lamb oscillations for coherent \Lam\Lamb\Lam\Lamb production in the J/ψ\Lam\Lamb\psi \to \Lam \Lamb decay process. The sensitivity of measurement of \Lam\Lamb\Lam -\Lamb oscillation in the external field at BES-III experiment is considered. These considerations indicate an alternative way to probe the ΔB=2\Delta B =2 amplitude in addition to neutron oscillation experiments. Both coherent and time-dependent information can be used to extract the \Lam\Lamb\Lam-\Lamb oscillation parameter. With one year's luminosity at BES-III, we can set an upper limit of δm\Lam\Lamb<1015\delta m_{\Lam \Lamb} < 10^{-15} MeV at 90% confidence level, corresponding to about 10610^{-6} s of \Lam\Lamb\Lam-\Lamb oscillation time.
