Abstract

Putting together kinematical and dynamical analysis, a complete study of the decay channels ΛbΛV(1)\Lambda_b \to {\Lambda} V(1^-), with Λpπ\Lambda \to p {\pi}^- and V(J/ψ)+V (J/\psi) \to {\ell}^+ {\ell}^- or V(ρ0)π+π,V ({\rho}^0) \to {\pi}^+ {\pi}^-, is performed. An intensive use of the helicity formalism is involved on the kinematical side, while on the dynamical side, Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET) is applied for an accurate determination of the hadronic matrix elements between the baryons Λb\Lambda_b and Λ\Lambda. Emphasis is put on the major role of the Λb\Lambda_b polarization for constructing T-odd observables and the standard ρ0ω{\rho}^0-{\omega} mixing has the benefit effect of amplifying the process of direct CP violation between ΛbandΛˉb\Lambda_b \mathrm{and} {\bar \Lambda}_b decays.
