Abstract

We explore the breaking effects of the SU(3)SU(3) flavor symmetry in the singly Cabibbo-suppressed anti-triplet charmed baryon decays of BcBnM{\bf B}_c\to {\bf B}_n M, with Bc=(Ξc0,Ξc+,Λc+){\bf B}_c=(\Xi_c^0,\Xi_c^+,\Lambda_c^+) and Bn(M){\bf B}_n(M) the baryon (pseudo-scalar) octets. We find that these breaking effects can be used to account for the experimental data on the decay branching ratios of B(Λc+Σ0K+,Λ0K+){\cal B}(\Lambda_c^+\to \Sigma^{0} K^{+},\Lambda^{0} K^{+}) and RK/πR'_{K/\pi}=B(Ξc0ΞK+){\cal B}(\Xi^0_c \to \Xi^- K^+)/B(Ξc0Ξπ+){\cal B}(\Xi^0_c \to \Xi^- \pi^+). In addition, we obtain that B(Ξc0ΞK+,Σπ+)=(4.6±1.7,12.8±3.1)×104{\cal B}(\Xi_{c}^{0} \to \Xi^{-} K^{+},\Sigma^{-} \pi^{+})=(4.6 \pm 1.7,12.8 \pm 3.1)\times 10^{-4}, B(Ξc0pK,Σ+π)=(3.0±1.0,5.2±1.6)×104{\cal B}(\Xi_c^0\to pK^-,\Sigma^+\pi^-)=(3.0 \pm 1.0, 5.2 \pm 1.6)\times 10^{-4} and B(Ξc+Σ0(+)π+(0))=(10.3±1.7)×104{\cal B}(\Xi_c^+\to \Sigma^{0(+)} \pi^{+(0)})=(10.3 \pm 1.7)\times 10^{-4}, which all receive significant contributions from the breaking effects, and can be tested by the BESIII and LHCb experiments.
